After thinking we were out of luck I found a private shuttle "Cadillac Mountain Summit Shuttle" which only cost a small fee of $10/per person each way to bring you up to the top any time of day, and back down if needed. With two locations for pick up this van holds up to 14 people. In my opinion well worth it! Also I may note she has grown up in the area and knows the place like the back of her hand, she was able to give us such great recommendations and made us feel right at home. I will be using this shuttle everytime I visit the area! 10/10 experience

Our guide was fantastic. She provided instruction and the necessary safety info accurately and got us on our way quickly. We kayaked around one of the porcupine islands. We had to watch for large boats through the main channels. One side of the island provided choppy paddling conditions which was 'fun' and unique. The other side of the island was much calmer and relaxed. Our guide provided interesting tidbits of info about the island as we progressed. I kind of wished we would have had a few designated photo ops areas. I didn't really feel like I could take my time to get my camera out as I needed to keep up or didn't want to miss what she was saying. As a result, no one in our group really took any pics. The kayaks were in good condition. We wore splash suits to minimize getting wet. If you are tall, the kayaks will likely be a bit uncomfortable for you (hard to adjust the foot rests). Nice morning on the water.

Definitely the best part of our New England trip (and we got a cool map)!

We took the original Ghost tour and it was mediocre; probably because I just didn't connect with the guide, Liz, for some reason. We only made a few stops on the 90 minute tour and the sites and presentations were okay but not at all captivating. It would have been better if there were more places visited and a better storyteller. I definitely would have appreciated learning more about the Wabanaki Nation and the Great Fire. Surely there's ghost stories hidden in that history somewhere. In short, for the price we paid it definitely wasn't worth the cost.
