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.

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

Solid tour with a great guide! We did the 4-hour tour with Nathan and had so much fun. He took us to the top of Cadillac, drove the Park Loop Road, showed us Thunder Hole, and dropped us off to walk part of the Shore Path to Otter Cliffs. He joined us and played his beautiful Irish flute for us while we enjoyed the beautiful summer day. Just perfect.

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

Nathan was an excellent guide. He showed me so many parts of Acadia National Park. He was very informative and very kind. He was very considerate, easy-going, did not rush through the various sites and stops throughout the park. Thanks to Nathan, I had an excellent experience on my last day of my trip to Maine. Thank you for everything, Nathan!

Nathan was hugely knowledgeable; with energetic and unique stories of the region’s history. He knew all the best places to park for easy access to the sites. He also knew the best place to grab a delicious and quick lunch without taking much time away from our touring. Nathan is an absolute delight and we highly recommend his tours.

We saw more in a few hours than we would have been able to see in... read more

Nathan did a great job in setting up and execution 2 tours for us. He went above and beyond what was expected including decorating the van for my wife's 70th birthday and sending us pictures and a video of our excursion after we returned home. Both Nathan and Carli were very knowledgeable and very engaging as we toured Acadia and the Bar Harbor area. 2 great... read more
