Mount Desert Isle offers an endless array of activities for everyone. Some of the things to do in Acadia National Park include: a visit to Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and Otter Cliff. A drive up Cadillac Mountain for sunrise or sunset and a bike ride past the The Bubbles and high tea and popovers at Jordon Pond House. Tour the stunning gardens at Asticou or take a boat ride out of Northeast Harbor. Take a Glider or Bi-Plane Ride over the Park out of the Hancock Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton for some great perspective on Mount Desert Isle.
On the ocean and land, visitors and guests can tour Mount Desert Isle on their own, or let experienced Maine guides show them the way.

There are local companies and expert registered Maine Guides that know wildlife and the history of Downeast Acadia offering walking tours of Bar Harbor. Rent a kayak or canoe and tour on your own or better still in the company of Maine Guides and explore Mount Desert Island’s fascinating harbors and coast. Or set sail with one of the professional tour boats from Bar Harbor in search of lighthouses, whales, seals, seabirds or set sail for a day aboard a Schooner.

  Matthew H from Arlington, VA recommends this vacation rental

  Noonie’s Nest was the perfect spot for our Maine vacation. The home was clean, cozy and looked out on Goose Marsh Pond, where our boys played and swam every day. The location was convenient to hikes and Bar Harbor.
  Also, the owner provided everything we needed for our stay. We’re already planning our return trip!

  Cottage was perfect for our family of four. Great outdoor space, comfortable living area/bedrooms and functional kitchen. Enjoyed eating breakfast on the deck looking out at the water. Easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but away from the crowds. Carpeted bathroom only thing that was questionable!

  a guest from Wells, ME recommends this vacation rental

  This was perfect. The two bedrooms were good sized, the kitchen had everything for cooking real meals, the linens were top quality. The view is a saltwater tidal pond that has seagulls, ducks, and various water birds & an eagle. We brought two kayaks and paddled out thru the narrows to the ocean. The deck was big and had a picnic table and BBQ nearby. The grounds were well-kept, lawn cut low, easy walking around. The shore by the pond is peatmoss, so a little hard to walk on, spongy. The house has a/c in living rm window and floor fans in every room, very good. Refrigerator large with freezer, small microwave and plenty of dishes, pots, pans, containers & bowls. We loved it, easy access to Acadia, 30 minutes at best. We were missing a hairdryer, we called the owner and she brought us one immediately. Furniture very comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend.
