    Many of Maine's beaches are covered with cobblestones, but this coastline is unique. Powerful ocean storms created a massive seawall. As waves break, they carry rocks from the base of the beach and carry them up to shore. As the tides come in and out, heavier stones get piled at the top and smaller, lighter stones remain down the slope.

  • Bar Harbor (Pass By)

    All of our tours start and end by going through the historic corridors of Bar Harbor.

Acadia for a day

Published on Oct, 2024

Jeff showed us all over Acadia NP! We missed the leaves changing by a week or so, but that didn't keep us from seeing this beautiful park. He was very helpful with getting us all in and out of the van and gave us ample time at each stop to enjoy the views.

Greatness from Pete

Published on Oct, 2024

Pete was the most incredible tour guide around. Even he would admit that we were probably some of the younger people to participate in this tour. My lady and myself have plans for a potential move to the area, and he did wonders to give us a behind the scenes tour of Acadia. We saw so many places that were popular and under the radar. Consider yourself lucky if you get Pete as your guide!

Fantastic Outing

Published on Oct, 2024

Katherine was amazing! Her energy, pace, and information was perfectly tuned for our family, including my 80 year-old mother. Everyone had a great day, and her recommendations and overview of the area's layout gave us a great start to the rest of our stay. 5☆ recommendation!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

His knowledge and passion for the area is contagious!! We enjoyed every minute of our day and we were all sad to see it end!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
