Acadia Full Day Small Group Tour

Overview

Take a tour that lets you immerse yourself in the park. Our guides are master naturalists, botanists, geologists, historians, and - most importantly - relentlessly curious! This is not just a sightseeing tour, it's a day all about learning and connection.

Today's tour includes 4-6 miles of walks and hikes at various points of interest.

Join your guide for a full day visiting the land and sea of Acadia National Park. Each day is planned based on tides and your group to make the most of your day. Your tour will include short hikes at iconic destinations such as the Ocean Path, Thunder Hole, Bubble Rock, and Jordan Pond, while also leaving time to hike on the trails and away from crowds. Along the way, your naturalist guide will share stories of Acadia’s history, explain its natural features, and share information about its flora and fauna.

Made this reservation weeks in advance as we only had 1 day for Acadia National Park and wanted to not only experience the park but also learn as much as we could from the advertised naturalist and one who could show you the ins and outs you may not know as a tourist. We received a notification to add info about our group: ages, likes and dislikes, what our goals of the tour, etc. We were very excited as it seemed the company was gearing for a terrific day with an individualized plan made specifically for the group. 2 days before the tour (we were already on vacation), we received a phone call that they were cancelling the tour. We were willing to change the tour to the following day but they also would not accomodate that date. Instead, they offered to send a very detailed email and itinerary about where we could go, how to get there, etc. Having the tour was extremely disappointing as now we had to purchase last minute passes and entrance times that were supposed to be planned for us already. We did receive the email which was even more disappointing- I was able to get way more information off of Google than what was sent to us in a few short sentences by the company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, as it helps us understand where we can better meet the expectations of our valued customers. We understand how disappointing it can be when plans change unexpectedly, especially when you have been looking forward to a unique and personalized experience. As mentioned in our listing, in rare cases where we do not meet the minimum number of guests required for the tour, we regrettably have to cancel the trip. On this date, despite our best efforts, we were unable to meet the minimum number of guests required for the tour on the scheduled date and did cancel according to that policy. This policy ensures that we maintain the quality and integrity of our tours. We understand that you expressed your willingness to change the tour date to accommodate the cancellation. Regrettably, we were unable to offer an alternative date that aligned with your vacation as we needed to adhere to our schedule and commitments with other guests. In an effort to provide you with some assistance and ensure you could still enjoy your time in Acadia National Park, we took the initiative to send you a detailed email and itinerary with information about various attractions, routes, and directions. While we understand that this substitute could not compare to the experience of a guided tour, we hoped it would help you make the most of your visit to the park. We genuinely regret that you did not have the opportunity to experience our product firsthand. Should you decide to visit another National Park again in the future, we would be delighted to provide you with the 5* experience that our other reviews reflect.
