Overview

Discover the best of Acadia National Park on a fully private tour with your own local guide. Travel the spectacular 27-mile Park Loop Road and ascend Cadillac Mountain for sweeping views of Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay and the surrounding islands.

Experience Acadia’s iconic sights, including Sand Beach and its pink-granite coastline, Thunder Hole, Otter Cliffs, Rockefeller’s historic stone bridges and carriage roads, and Sieur de Monts.

Because this tour is exclusively for your party, there’s no rigid schedule. Spend more time where you choose, stop for photographs, ask questions, or get recommendations for trails and carriage roads to explore later.

Your local guide brings Acadia to life through history, island stories and insider knowledge of Mount Desert Island.

We handle the details—including your park entrance and Cadillac Mountain reservation—so you can relax and experience Acadia at your own pace.

At Your Service Tours has been sharing Acadia since 1999.
