Acadian Boat Tours, Bar Harbor

Had a great experience on their Puffin Tour excursion. The boat guide was very informative and entertaining telling us about the wildlife, history, and culture of the areas we were visiting. He was happy to answer any questions my children had and was extremely knowledgeable. Very nice that they don't overload the boat with passengers so it's easy to find a good viewing spot at all times on they boat. Definitely recommend bringing or renting binoculars on the boat. While you can see the wildlife, the puffins are small and the binoculars really allow you to experience them better. My family had such a good time we have decided that one of their tours will be a recurring activity on future trips to Acadia NPS.

We were leaving today but not until this evening and decided to do this tour as our last adventure in Maine. I'm so glad we did. We had a wonderful tour guide, he was amusing, funny and knowledgeable. I learned all sorts of information about Maine that I didn't know before. They offer snacks and drinks inside and the attendant was so helpful and kind. She also went around periodically in the boat to ask all the passengers how they were doing. I thought that was very kind. She also knew a lot of the animals and boats we would see in the ocean during our tour. We saw numerous lighthouses, puffins and other animals. The boat ride was smooth and not rough. Restrooms located at parking and on board as well. Overall great trip, highly recommend!
