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.
