Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park

Bar Harbor

Tuesday, September 8 – Thursday, September 10

Mount Desert Island is the largest island off the coast of Maine, with a scenic rocky coast, quaint downtown, and Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor is known for its stunning coastal beauty, its many yachts and lobster boats, and its expansive ocean views. Our hotel is the Atlantic Oceanside Resort, situated on 12 acres of oceanfront property overlooking Frenchman's Bay. Amenities include stunning ocean views of Frenchman Bay, indoor and outdoor pools.

DAY 1 - Travel to Bar Harbor, Maine and our oceanfront hotel, the Atlantic Oceanside Resort. We’ll take a two-hour, fully narrated Acadian Nature Cruise on Frenchman Bay in search of eagles, porpoises, & seals. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery of coastal Maine, the islands of Frenchman Bay, and the shoreline of Bar Harbor. A delicious DownEast Maine Lobster Dinner is included at the Resort. (D)

DAY 2 – No trip to Bar Harbor would be complete without a visit to Acadia National Park. Its landscape is marked by woodland, rocky beaches, and glacier-scoured granite peaks such as Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the United States’ East Coast. Our four-hour tour will feature three stops within Acadia National Park, the summit of Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole (an ocean-side stop), and Sieur De Monts Spring (Wild Gardens of Acadia). You'll have time at each stop for photos and to enjoy the spectacular views. Enjoy the afternoon downtown to shop or walk the famous Shore Path in Bar Harbor that begins at the Town Pier, goes past the Bar Harbor Inn, then continues south for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile along the eastern shore of Mount Desert Island to enjoy the ocean air, sailboats, and beautiful vistas. At low tide (approx. 2 PM), you can walk from downtown to pristine Bar Island, part of Acadia National Park. The walk out is about 1 mile each way, and there are trails on the island with panoramic views of Bar Harbor. (B)

DAY 3 - We'll depart Bar Harbor and travel back to the Cape, making a stop in Freeport for lunch (on own) and shopping. (B)
