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.

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

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 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

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!

My wife and I found that the personal tour by Nathan owner/operator of Acadia Drving Tours was the highlight of our trip. Our first trip to Maine we found Nathan to be knowledgeable and provided us with a great deal of insight to the area. His humor and engaging conversation really personalized our trip. Thanks Nathan!

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.
