kfhintx Posted August 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi there! We will be at Bar Harbor on 10/22 and are wanting to visit Acadia National Park. The bus/trolley tours do not interest us because we are wanting to do a short hike and not just view the park from a bus. We are also wanting to make sure we get to a Welcome Center/Gift Shop to stamp our NP Passport books. The Explorer shuttle seems to be a good option but unsure of how crowded it will be during this time of year. I would love any thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Rare 1025cruise Posted August 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The Explorer would have been your best choice, but it stops running on Columbus Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flmomoftwo Posted January 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I am not a tour person. Is it possible to do Acadia on our own with the shuttle service in July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discovered an Electric Bike Rental in Bar Harbor but just a little bit too late to actually go . Its $50 / 4 hours rental . The one way park loop is 2 hours without stopping but of course you'll want to stop . Next trip booked in 2021 , this is our top priority ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Named-Tawny Posted February 24, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Our plan (we're also going in October) is to probably rent bicycles There's a place called Acadia Bike dot com which looks quite good. $30 for the day, and they give you maps of the carriage routes.
