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 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!

We were on a Maine coast and harbors cruise and wanted to see the beauty of Acadia National Park without dealing with a crowded cruise tour bus. We booked an Experience Acadia tour with Nathan and were not disappointed. It was a joy seeing the park with a tour guide who obviously appreciated seeing the picturesque views of the park as much as we did. Two days... 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 is a very knowledgeable guide. He accommodated my family and made it so the 8 of us could be together in a large comfortable van. We made stops in the park and didn't feel rushed while we took many photographs of the beautiful area. He also showed us some of his favorite locations in Bar Harbor. Nathan is a polite and kind man and we enjoyed the tour... read more
