We rented from Avis. It was about 4/10 of a mile walk from the pier each way but a fairly easy walk. We were going to get an Uber on the way back but afternoon traffic was so bad, walking it was going to be faster so we did that.

I wish I could edit the previous reply 😞 We may or may not go to Oak Island.

9-6. It'll be tight but some places will be more of a drive-thru just to take in the scenery. We will spend a little time at Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg, where we are planning to have lunch.

Thanks! This is what I needed to know 🙂

We will be in Halifax next Monday. We are renting a car and driving down the coast. We plan to visit Peggy's Cove, Oak Island, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg.

DH and I will be in Bar Harbor on Sunday, June 26th. Our ship is scheduled to anchor at 7:00 a.m. and depart at 4:00 p.m. Originally, we had booked a narrated Acadia bus tour but on further research, we believe we have decided to cancel it and take advantage of the free busses inside the park. That said, here is our tentative schedule and I'd like to know if it's doable and/or what you'd advise to do differently. I will caveat this with the facts that we are from a rural area of the country but we have traveled to the Caribbean, the Colorado Rockies, the Canadian Rockies, and even spent 10 days in interior Alaska in an RV a few years ago. That said, some of the places in Acadia that get rave reviews appear rather "meh" to us such as Jordan's Pond, Cadillac Mtn Summit (can't get there by park bus, anyway), etc. We've see lots of hills, mountains, lakes, ponds, ocean, etc. on our other trips and even on a daily basis. Therefore, we'd rather skip or drive by those types of places on this trip to have more time in our schedule which is: 8:00ish a.m. - tender to dock 8:00-10:00 a.m. - walk around Bar Harbor; walk to Mass at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church 10:00-11:00ish a.m. - Mass 11:00-noon - lunch (DH is looking forward to lobster rolls) After lunch, catch first shuttle that takes us to Sand Beach. 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. - Spend time hiking Great Head Trail and Sand Beach; catch shuttle to Thunder Hole for a quick stop then shuttle back to Bar Harbor. *Spend any extra time walking around Bar Harbor before catching tender back to our ship for 4:00 p.m. departure. Just wanting to see if our plan is too ambitious and if there are any other "must sees" that we need to try to squeeze in. Advice on best lobster rolls (for DH) and best fish and chips (for me) greatly appreciated! TIA!
