Suggestions for Bar Harbor Port

[mandrews2u]

My Husband and I are just now starting to look into things to do while on our cruise, any idea's for Maine port?

Here are some suggestions:

 

You could take a tour of Acadia National Park. Here are 2 independent tour companies:

Go out whale watching:

If you have only eaten a lobster and would like to learn more about them, take a tour on Lulu lobster boat:

Go Kayaking:

Just relax in town, due some window shopping, people watching, strolling and don’t forget to do it with a cone of lobster flavor ice cream:

If you are not interested in a tour but would like to see ANP or anywhere else on MDI, ride the free seasonal bus (Island Explorer). There are 7 routes including the ANP loop road:

With your cone of lobster ice cream, walk BH’s Shore Path

Have SPAM on the Half Shell at Geddy’s:

If time pernits, visit the Jordan Pond House Restaurant for afternoon tea and their famous hot popovers and strawberry jam (YUMMY!). You will have to take the Island Explorer to and return; route # 5 is direct, route #4 is indirect.

This is one port where you might want to try some Clam Chowder soup.

 

We did Ollie's Trolley 2 hour tour and loved it!!

If you are intersted in hiking or biking there are some beautiful trails in Acadia.

Has anybody taken a kayaking tour in Bar Harbor? I am booked on the Princess one, but may switch to a private land tour such as Oli's Trolley. I would appreciate any information about experience with kayaking. Also, do you think we could make the 10:00 AM Oli's Trolley tour. I've heard there have been some problems with getting off of the ship in a timely manner. THANKS!
