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.

Family drove up from OOB for a day trip to Acadia. Booked a 4 hour tour to take a break from driving. Nathan met us promptly and helped us avoid the crowds. Very knowledgeable about the park and good stories. Highly recommend!

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

An Unforgettable Acadia Tour – Thoughtful, Scenic, and So Personal We had the most incredible day touring Acadia National Park with Nathan from Acadia Driving Tours.

Every suggestion was spot-on — from a peaceful... 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 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
