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.

We enjoyed getting to see the sights, but felt very rushed and did not get to walk around very much. This is a good option for those who do not have a car on the island or have a very limited amount of time to see the park. We found ourselves wishing we had more time at the stops. It also got very hot on the trolley when we were waiting for those who were late or stuck sitting in traffic. We did not feel like the experience justified the price. Overall, we did get to see the high points of the park, just wished we had more time at the stops and a more engaging guide.

We wanted a way to explore the park and thought that a tour would be the best option. They offer a…read morestandard tour and a premium tour. We chose the premium tour which is between 3 1/2 to 4 hours and has 4 stops vs. the classic tour which is 2 1/2 hours long and has 3 stops. The narration is very good and the tour guide knew his stuff. I just felt that the tour was geared for people with limited mobility. During the stops, we didn't really have enough time to explore.....especially on the last stop (Jordan Pond House). They have a restaurant there with a beautiful outdoor area on the water. It is famous for its popovers. I thought for sure, we would be able to sit down a little and have some, but the tour guide talks about the popovers and then says, we won't have time to try them. My friend and I ordered them anyway and brought them to the bus to eat. So all in all, the tour was good, but if you want a more active visit to the park, you should check other options. If you take this company's tours, the shorter version would be sufficient, and then maybe you could do some exploring on your own.

Each carriage holds about 8 or 10 adults, so seating is limited. They don't rush tours to accommodate more people, so once they are sold out, you can only hope for a cancellation or no show. The weather can be rainy in October. However, we were lucky to have missed the rain by a day. The Mountain carriage tour allows you to get above the trees and overlook the surrounding areas. During the peak foliage season, the views are spectacular. This year, the peak will likely hit the area after Discovers Day weekend. The tour is narrated by the driver, who provides some history on the park and carriage roads. It is well worth the money spent for the hour, as you get to experience it from the back of a carriage powered by a team of two large horses. The views are breathtaking and provide numerous photo opportunities. Keep in mind that the area has poor Internet connectivity., so use a printed map to guide you to Wildwood Stables.

We started the morning on 1+ hour hike through a spruce forest to arrive at the edge of a cove. Seals were in the water and birds in the distance. We literally didn't see a single other person on the hike which is incredible given that it was high season (August). It was a testament to Rich's knowledge of the island. We did visit Sieur de Monts Spring and did a flat loop walk on the long boardwalk trail which was also fairly deserted given its proximity to the tour buses pouring tourists out in front of the nature museum there. Lastly, we made a visit to a tidal pool where we spent a solid 2 hours in the water looking under every rock for starfish, crabs, sea anemones, sea urchins and snails galore. Rich knew each species and explained the good and the bad (green crabs -- invasive, not good; Jonah crabs - native, good) Rich did all of the driving and it made for a relaxing exposure to Bar Harbor/Acadia that we would've never been able to do as quickly on our own. Well worth the money.
