Mansions and majestic hotels serve as reminders of Bar Harbor’s past (in the 19th century, it was a favorite vacation spot of society’s upper crust). Today, visitors kayak, explore Acadia National Park, go bird- or whale-watching, and enjoy salty sea air and sandy beaches.

Went with my 16 year old daughter, first time for either of us at improv...so went with no expectations but so glad we went. Both of us enjoyed it, the service and cozy atmosphere was excellent and the performers hilarious! Great job!

Recently took a a trip out to Maine. First time being there. If you want to enjoy some truly wonder sites, without a ton of people or crowds then you should check out Schoodic for sure. During our stay, we there twice. Once during the day where the scenery and shoreline is incredible. Be sure to stop by Raven's Nest where you can get a close up (but don't get TOO close) of this beautiful sheer cliff face where it meets the water. Also make sure you take a walk on the shoreline just past Blueberry Hill so that you can hear the "applauding river rocks". If you're up for it, do yourself a favor and go back at night. Find a place to park, turn your vehicle and vehicle lights off and look up at the sky. From here the Milky Way Galaxy is visible with the naked eye. You'll be glad you went.

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
