Our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable about the area and what we saw on the drive. She had a great personality and was very engaging. The bus was comfortable. The length of the stops could have been longer. My husband and I took a very brisk walk around the top of Cadillac mountain. That took up the entire stop time. The second stop at Thunder Hole was a better length of time. However we toured Acadian national Park at the end of the season. Had we tour during the peak tourist season getting down to thunder hole and back to the bus with any pictures would have been challenging. The third and final stop was a restroom break, botanical garden and spring, and the gift shop. There was plenty of time to complete these activities for the most part. However with covid-19 and social distancing issues they only allowed five people in the gift shop at one time so there was a line. Anyone wanting to tour the gift shop I would recommend doing that first prior to any restroom breaks due to the line.

The views and the whole tour were very scenic…and the convenience of not having to drive and park in a crowded park was also worth it!
