Experience Acadia
$650 -Private Group Time: Three Hours
A wonderful overview of the area for those who have a limited time in port and want to maximize their visit, or anyone planning to explore further on their own after experiencing the highlights with a local guide. We will take in the views from the summit of Cadillac Mountain, as well as ensure we see all the best stops along the park roads and the dramatic granite coastline along beautiful Ocean Drive.
People plan for years to visit a place like this. There are so many sights you simply won’t have time to see on a group tour, or a three-hour overview. This slightly longer tour allows for a truly personalized experience where we have time to visit the best stops from my shorter tour, while also exploring quieter corners and sights beyond the park loop road. All at the perfect pace.. See it the way it should be seen.
It seems everyone has heard about sunrises here, but my favorite time to enjoy the park is in the evenings. There is something special about the light here. That is true all day, but the evenings tend to be pure magic. Most of the tourists disappear in the late afternoon. They all have the same ideas about how to beat the crowds to the same couple places. They all plan to eat lobster back in town at the same time… But I live here. Come with me for a special excursion at the time when the park is at its best!
The tours above are excellent ways to see the main section of Acadia and some of the surrounding areas. But those only begin to scratch the surface of all there is to enjoy on Mount Desert Island. Looking for a picnic lunch or to stop for dinner before making sure we see it all together? Perhaps a bonfire after sunset? If you have places in mind that I haven’t mentioned, or you just want to discover all you possibly can while you’re here, I invite you to contact me so we can create something special for your group!

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!

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 before our tour the cruise line had to make a weather-related schedule change and Nathan was able to accommodate the change so we could still enjoy this special tour. At the end of our tour Nathan took us to special place and gave us an experience that was one of the high points of our trip to Maine. You will not be dissatisfied if you choose to tour with 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 right at our hotel.

My daughter and I booked a sunset tour of Acadia National Park as this was our first visit to Maine. Nathan showed us the most picturesque sights; gave us time to explore and take in the serenity; and shared a wealth of knowledge about the area. It was such a fun and fabulous experience! Full of surprises!

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!

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!

We booked a 4-hour tour w Acadia Driving Tours and it was fabulous. Nathan did a great job getting us to all the good spots and avoiding crowds. He really got us engaged with the beauty of Acadia through his insightful personal stories. We highly recommend Nathan for any tour in the Acadia NP area.

Booking a tour with Nathan / Acadia Driving Tours was the highlight and by far the best decision of our trip! He created so many utterly perfect and magical moments for our family - times we will never, ever forget. We laughed, we learned, and we felt incredible peace. What an absolutely priceless gift! We saw more in a few hours than we would have been able to see in... read more days - and he made it all easy and relaxing for us! We have been on dozens of tours in places all over the world, and Nathan is one of the absolute best guides we have ever had. Thank you, Nathan, for sharing your heart and the beauty of Acadia with us! Your authenticity and passion for this park - and for all of nature's wonder - absolutely shines!
