4.8(6)3 hFree cancellationBy ACADIA DRIVING TOURS LLC

Step out on the famous granite coastline, feel the crash of waves and breath the salt air along Acadia's Ocean Drive.

About this activity

I believe, a local guide should provide an experience which brings you closer to Acadia than you would feel had you explored on your own. Acadia is brimming with a quiet, insistent magic. They named it for a paradise. They saved it at their own cost, so we could feel the effect of the light and hear the leaves singing. I will give more than a checklist of places or repeated stories. I'll share my home. Show you the Music of it. I hope the delight I take in this area will be contagious.

-My tours are all private to your group. The vans are comfortable and clean.

-You will have complete freedom as we explore, to adjust which stops we make, and how long we enjoy each location.

How much you walk, or how often you leave the van, are up to you. Acadia's roads were purpose built to showcase the views without having to leave your car.
