Fall Tour of Acadia - Nathan was our guide and he was informative, interesting, friendly and met all our requests. The tour exceeded our expectations and was a wonderful way to see the wonders of Acadia. Our granddaughter who is 13 loved the experience.

The trip was a ten in large part to our guide Devon! - The trip was a ten in large part to our guide Devon!
My friend and I went with our daughters for a weekend in Bar Harbor. We debated booking a guided tour and thought we could create an agenda ourselves with all the information online.
Without doubt, I can say, we would NOT have seen half as much or had nearly as much fun without Devon. He listened to our interests and suggested ideas and created the perfect itinerary for us! Added benefit … his marine biology background allowed us to understand better the animals and flora. He never tired of our endless questions of the beautiful environment.
From the hiking trails planned at perfect times to avoid the crowds, to the unbelievable picnic in an area we would never have found on our own, to the perfect recommendations for dining in town … Devon helped make our trip one we’ll never forgot!!

Highly Recommend! - Our day in Acadia National Park with Good Trip Adventures was incredible! 2 out of 3 of our crew had never hiked before, but that didn’t stop Devon from creating a fun and educational trip. He made our day a little challenging while also ensuring everyone’s safety. Our group shared tons of laughs, many great pictures, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Devon and Good Trip Adventures for a great experience!

Great guided tour with history and ecology! - Had a great guided tour of Acadia! Our guide, Devon, is a marine biologist so we got to hear great facts both about the history of the park and the local ecosystem. He knew great spots around the park that were not heavily traveled, so we weren’t in the crowds despite being peak season. We also got to see Jordan Pond and Cadillac mountain, so it was the best of both worlds!

Amazing family tour of Acadia - Devon was an amazing guide! He was thoughtful in planning our exploration of Acadia, as we were traveling as a family with 3 kids. He is knowledgeable, communicative and goes above and beyond to make everyone in the group comfortable. Highly recommend

First trip to Maine. Couldn't have ordered a better day!! - We had a wonderful trip to Bar Harbor, Maine and Acadia National Park. We traveled with another couple who have toured most of the national parks. Since none of us had ever visited Acadia, we decided to book a full day private tour of Acadia with Good Trips. Best money and time ever spent!
Ash was our tour guide. She was fabulous!!She educated us on all the geography, wildlife and highlights of Acadia. She was a true scholar of the area.
We appreciated the fact that she reached out to us prior to the tour to understand what we wanted to do on our visit in Acadia. She tailored our day to our interests and activity level. She also prepared a fabulous picnic lunch and served us on the side of a beautiful bay. It was a day we will never forget.
If you decide to take this tour, it would be in your best interest to request Ash to be your guide. We could not say enough about the day she provided and the service we received from Good Trips! First class tour company!!

Amazing Acadia & Ash! - What an incredible adventure! We absolutely fell in love with Acadia. Ash is an exceptional guide with an impressive knowledge of the area—and so much more. She truly made the experience unforgettable. Her patience and kindness with our two boys (10 & 12) were remarkable, and she inspired them to be curious and adventurous. Lunch was fantastic, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. We didn’t want the day to end! Her recommendations for restaurants and other trails were spot-on and made the rest of our trip even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour!
