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.

Our driving tour through Acadia with Nate was wonderful. It was a thoughtfully tailored route based on what he picked up about our interests. We got to spend a good amount of time walking the coast, and it was really lovely. Since we were new to the park it was really nice having Nate to show us places we would have otherwise missed!

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!

Nathan is a fantastic tour guide. He showed us the highlights of the area and even took us to a few other "out of the way" places as well. He let us go at our own pace, which I very much like. We spent exactly as much time as we wanted in each particular place. I highly recommend this tour. He even picked us up... read more

Nathan was a safe driver and very knowledgeable of Acadia park history and interesting facts not found in guidebooks I enjoyed the 3 hr tour. We hiked up many spots, and saw various beautiful park sights. Nathan is friendly, funny and made sure to know I was comfortable. I recommend this tour for families with children and also for seniors-like me:. I would go again.
