Private Tours of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine.
Experience beautiful Mount Desert Island with a local tour guide, passionate about sharing this incredible place.
A visit to a place as amazing as Acadia National Park should be so much more than a list of stops to check off. You're looking forward to making memories you can cherish. Allow me to show you the best of my home with a personalized private tour.
I believe a tour with a local guide, should provide a deeper connection to Mount Desert Island than you could possibly find in a few short days of exploring on your own. My tours will ensure you make the most of your time here.
Welcome to Mount Desert Island, Maine
Acadia was the first national park east of the Mississippi. It is unique, both for its beauty, and the story of its founding. Bar Harbor, the principle town on the island, was originally named Eden… It’s easy to see why.
Experience Acadia
This three-hour personalized tour is a great overview for anyone looking to experience the best of Acadia National Park in comfort with your own, private local guide. We will take in the view from the summit of Cadillac Mountain, then explore the sights along Park Loop Road. This tour is a great option for anyone arriving in Bar Harbor by ship, or those looking for a personal connection with our area, before spending time exploring on your own.
(Three-Hour, Private Tour)
The Way Life Should Be
(Four-Hour, Private Tour)
If you don’t have a ship to catch, this Four-Hour tour allows for a more relaxed pace as we see everything the three-hour tour does, with the additional time to explore more of my favorite locations in -and just outside of- the park. Experience this place the way it was meant to be seen. Less hurry. More quiet places away from the crowds and tour busses.

We had a wonderful 3 hour tour through Acadia National Park with Nathan. He was very knowledgeable, funny and a great story teller. He made sure we were comfortable and modified where he needed to. I would highly recommend this tour and I would definitely do it again.

We had such a great time touring around Acadia and the outskirts with Nathan! He was knowledgeable, funny, and showed us a great time! He could have customized our tour to whatever we wanted but we opted to let him choose since he knows the area. He did not disappoint! Book with Acadia Driving Tours, you’ll have a wonderful time!

Wonderful tour! Nathan is very knowledgeable and friendly! He took us all over and with the construction in the park, I'm so happy we had him navigating! We didn't miss anything! He has snacks and water and allowed us to tailor the tour! We got out and walked some areas. My husband's knee was bothering him, so Nathan directed me to areas that I could walk down to so I... read more

We had a great time with Nathan as our guide! He is very knowledgeable about the area, full of enthusiasm and a talented storyteller. His love for Acadia is evident. He expertly maneuvered our way through the crowded areas, while still enabling us to see everything, and he also took us to some other lesser known locations that were so beautiful. All in all a great tour - highly recommend!

Nathan was a fantastic guide and was willing to construct our tour to meet our needs and interests. He has a wonderful personality and a great knowledge of the history of the area. It was a very crowded day but we were able to be dropped off to see the sights and not worry about finding parking. We highly recommend this tour!

We took a private Acadia tour with Nathan and a family of 4. The entire experience was fabulous. Nathan’s Chrysler mini van was newer and very clean. Nathan was very knowledgeable about all things Acadia. He also has a wonderful personality and got along well with the different personalities in my family. He was able to quickly “figure us out” and tailored the perfect tour... read more
