kdn hawaii Posted July 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Is there a specific area to head to to see tidal pools? My kids love to explore the shoreline. What type of transportation from the port is best not requiring car seats for young children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica@cruisecritic Posted July 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Since I'm researching this, too, see https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/tidepooling.htm It looks like you can walk to Bar Island from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of transportation from the port is best not requiring car seats for young children? The first time we were out in Maine, we had driven so had a car. The tide pools were down the shoreline from Bar Harbor and in the National Park but no entry fee on that drive. Possibly a cruise pax could use Uber/Lyft to get down there. It's only 1 mile +, I believe. The Island Explorer bus system has a route that goes down there also (https://www.exploreacadia.com/routefinder.htm). Their Route 3, the Sand Beach route, goes down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted July 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2019 You might want to check the tide charts for when you will be in Maine. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
