What To Expect

Acadia National Park

Hike Cadillac Mountain, the tallest on the East Coast, for epic Acadia views, then explore Rockefeller Jr.'s carriage roads or bike scenic ocean cliffs. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Cadillac Mountain

Boasting mountain views, Cadillac Mountain Overlook features accommodations with a garden and a patio, around 5.6 mi from Agamont Park.

Park Loop Road

Our self-guided driving tour enters the famous Park Loop Road of Acadia. We'll follow this loop all around the park, ending at the summit of Cadillac mountain. Admission Ticket is not included.

Sieur de Monts Spring

Our tour takes us past the Sieur de Monts Spring, which plays a significant role in the history of Acadia National Park. In a symbolic sense, it can be said that the birth of Acadia National Park took place in this very spot over a century ago. Admission Ticket is not included.

Sand Beach

Next up: Sandy Beach! At just 290 yards long, the beach is small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in fascinating natural history. You might notice a slight greenish tint to the sand. That’s because of the sea urchins! Admission Ticket is not included.

Thunder Hole

We'll also see Thunder Hole, a natural rock inlet where waves crash with a thunderous boom. Admission Ticket is not included.

Monument Cove

Monument Cove is another example of the seemingly miraculous force of nature. Water and time have worn away at the granite over the centuries, leaving behind a twenty-foot tall pillar of rock that looks like a man-made sculpture. Admission Ticket is not included.

Otter Cliff

Next up as we drive as the stunning Otter Cliff and Otter Cove. At the top of Otter Cliff, it’s a steep 110-foot drop down to the chilly Atlantic. Admission Ticket is not included.

Jordan Pond

Our self-guided tour brings us to Jordan Pond next. We'd highly recommend pausing here to appreciate the views and the restaurant. Jordan Pond was carved out of the earth twenty thousand years ago by a massive glacier. Admission Ticket is not included.

Bubble Pond

Bubble Pond is another glacial remnant, hollowed out of the ground tens of thousands of years ago by a massive ice sheet descending on the island from the Arctic. Admission Ticket is not included.

Eagle Lake Acadia National Park

Our drive brings us past Eagle Lake, which serves as the water source for Bar Harbor. It’s also a food source for local birds. Admission Ticket is not included.

Directions were easy to follow and definitely made our experience driving through Acadia even better! I recommend downloading everything prior because you will lose service in the park

It’s partly our fault as we didn’t research the road closures in the park first and assumed the tour would still be good value. Unfortunately not, they probably shouldn’t sell it in winter. We couldn’t even start the tour from the right place due to closures and then had to drive half way back to town to get wifi and pull up the national park closure map to understand how we could enter the park and where we could go which was also very tricky. Basically from the 52 points of interest/stories in the app we were able to trigger less than 10, I forget how many. Yes we probably could have sat and listened to the other 40 something but it felt a little pointless without being able to see what is was referring to.

Hi, it sounds like you took my regular Acadia tour instead of the winter version, designed for the park’s limited access during colder months. Most parks aren’t accessible in winter, so I created an option to help avoid these situations. My support team is always happy to assist with setup or any questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out. The good news is my product is valid for a year, so you’ve got plenty of time to give it another go—or let me know if you’d prefer a replacement or refund!

Each lookout had a story. Otter cliffs was incredible. Hiking the carriage trails to Jordan house was so fun which had an awesome observation deck showing The Bubbles.

Christine, I’m thrilled you loved my Ultimate Acadia National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. Otter Cliffs is such a spectacular spot, and I’m thrilled the carriage trails to Jordan Pond and its observation deck made your trip even more memorable.
