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 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!

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!

Nathan was a fantastic guide and was willing to construct our tour to meet our needs and interests. He has a wonderful personality and a great knowledge of the history of the area. It was a very crowded day but we were able to be dropped off to see the sights and not worry about finding parking. We highly recommend this tour!
