Maine is also known for abundant outdoor recreation opportunities in all four seasons, from swimming and boating in the warmer months to excellent skiing in the winter.

We were a party of 4 coming into Bar Harbor on 9/25/19 from the Norweign Escape. Ellen was our tour guide and was so accomodating even picking us up a little earlier. She was very knowledgeable, excellent driver and we all had a lot of fun with her. She stopped at all the good places in Acadia and even other places that we didn't know we were going too. Overall I can't say enough about Coastal Tours. Woody was very quick to respond to my e-mails and even though we couldn't get him for our tour guide we loved having Ellen. Had a great lunch in Bar Harbor at her suggestion. Great Lobster Rolls. Thank you Ellen. Carolyn, Dennis, Addie & Florence

Methods of ground transportation between Bangor and Bar Harbor are limited, but Bar Harbor Shuttle LLC offers an affordable, consistent alternative. We are located in Bar Harbor and make several daily trips. We are also available on the the off season months. We generally make trips to Bangor and Bar Harbor once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and evening.

I used the Bar Harbor Shuttle to go from the Bangor Airport to my motel in Bar Harbor the week of the Fourth of July and I would highly recommend it to everyone. It was so nice not to worry about driving a rental car with the peak season traffic in Bar Harbor or paying a lot to rent a car only to have it sit at the motel for the week. Helen was very easy to work with when setting up the reservation. James, the driver, was friendly and a very safe driver. When I come back to Maine, I will definitely use the service again.
