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.

Laura, I’m thrilled you enjoyed my Ultimate Acadia National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. You can pause the audio and resume when ready to continue. The tour also announces each stop and offers a story list in the app to see exactly where you are and what’s coming up next. If you want to explore more, check out my 25+ National Parks Bundle, which offers self-guided tours of places like the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and more. Happy travels.

My husband and I were able to take are time, driving through Acadia National Park in Maine at OUR speed. The tour kept up with us. We did what was advised and downloaded everything ahead of time where I have Wi-Fi, which is VITAL. I have recommended this type of touring to friends who own a Airbnb. It is something their future guests SHOULD know about. My husband can't hear very well, and I like to take a lot of pictures, so this just made sense, and we are so glad we did the virtual tour.

We followed all of the directions included in the email. There were 3 tours to choose from. Unfortunately, we did not realize the third tour choice is a walking tour - not driving. We didn’t notice the very faint picture of a walking person until we started the tour. The information seemed good but only played for about 3 seconds until it skipped to the next point. It was only $17 so I wasn’t lose sleep over it but it was a waste of time and money unfortunately

Hi, downloading ahead of time is excellent, and I always recommend it! The third option in the app is Acadia’s Ocean Path Walking Tour, which is complimentary. It’s meant for walking, and the tour name reflects that in the app. My product is valid for a year, so you can use it again whenever you like or listen to the stories from home. Let me know if you have any questions!
