What people are saying about Bar Harbor

Affordable guide to highlights of the park. We were able to drive the park, listening to the audio tour and then go back to areas we wanted to explore in further detail. Informative and easy to use!

Charlie was our guide and he was informative and really added his own personality to the tour. I was glad we had Charlie. It was a great tour for the price. Charlie has lots of Moxie!!!
