Itinerary
Meet at the historic Bar Harbor Inn and enjoy an afternoon ride to a scenic overlook where views extend to a lighthouse and beyond. This evening, enjoy a traditional Maine Lobster Bake on the terrace of the inn with stunning oceanfront vistas.
Experience the life and work of Bar Harbor’s lobstermen (or lobsterwomen!) on a lobster boat excursion. The one-way Park Loop Road is a cyclist’s dream. Spin through lush forest before emerging on the dramatic coast. This magnificent road provides expansive views of the ocean along pink granite shorelines.
Cycle for miles on Acadia’s automobile-free Carriage Roads. Cross several signature granite bridges on your way to Northeast Harbor and Asticou Azalea Gardens. Pause to watch lobstermen haul their traps from the crystal clear waters of Somes Sound. Relax during a sunset sail on a Maine Windjammer
Cruise across Frenchman’s Bay to Schoodic Peninsula. Ride the shoreline so close to the sea that you can feel the spray from the surf. Continue through authentic fishing villages and past historic lighthouses. For a touch of nostalgia, visit the Winter Harbor 5 and 10.
Begin your day with a guided kayak excursion. While paddling these sturdy boats during the calm morning hours, you are likely to encounter seals and sea birds. Join your tour leaders for an afternoon hike featuring spectacular views of the surrounding islands.
Enjoy a spin on the carriage trails or along the coast before arriving at the Jordan Pond House to enjoy their signature popovers on the lawn. Those up for a challenge can tackle the gradual climb up Cadillac Mountain. Your reward is the 360-degree view of the surrounding islands and rugged coastline from the highest point on the east coast — a final highlight before the tour concludes.
