We saw a seal and lots of cool birds! There were some little ones in our group and when one of the kayakers got tired she help pull their kayak without embarrassing them. She kept an eye out for dark clouds, but the weather stayed perfect. This was a sunset tour that ended with the most lovely sky.

We were staying in the area and wanted to do some activities unique to Maine and booked a sea kayak…read moretour. We've kayaked in Florida and MN a few times but this was the first time in open sea. 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.

When I pay less than $150 for a room, I don't expect the Ritz. Here, you get what you pay for. Our…read moreroom with 2 double beds turned out to be a room with 1 bed and a pull out couch with no sheets. We had arrived late (check in ends at 8 pm) so the door was left open for us (fine) for a $20 late fee (really???), so there was no way to get sheets for the sofa bed. I was exhausted and angry, and my son slept poorly on a lumpy sofa bed with no sheets. Fortunately, the next day, the young man in charge was very kind and removed the $20 "late check in fee", reduced the price of our stay and got us our sheets. My rating of this place went from 1 to 3 stars based on responsiveness. Bottom line: dates decor, stained carpeting, fridge that doesn't work. Clean sheets, some friendly people, and a cheap place to stay the night. Not perfect, but what do you want for cheap?

I booked through an online hotel website ... on our way up we hit traffic so naturally called the office... called 56 times! NO ONE ANSWERED ... so I phoned the website booking customer service number... they also couldn't get anyone to answer even on the private alternate number they had on file. So they cancelled the booking and helped with finding another pet-friendly hotel in the area for the same night. Thankful because the next morning we drove past the Baits Motel and it looked like no one was running the place. There was what looked like a young guy sitting on the porch with the place seeming quite ironically the "Bates Motel". If you see this place listed for pet-friendly motels along Route 1 in Maine... don't book through online hotel websites... cause the online websites need to take it down.

The owner of this small travel company goes on every trip. She's been doing this work for 25 years and seems to know everyone; the local guides, the restaurant owners, the drivers, and excursion operators. It is evident that she cares deeply about everyone having a positive experience. And she takes care of all the details. Even though we stayed busy with visiting ancient ruins, museums, shopping, dining, and touring small hill towns, I found the experience to be relaxing because I knew all the details were taken care of.

Be sure to ask Jamie about house #19 next to his parents house. I liked SK a little but now after this tour I like him a lot!!! We now want to read all the SK books so we can see it through SK's eyes and see the places we visited in our minds. We do hope to be back this way in the future and will take this tour again! Thank you Jamie and the Mrs. too for a not only fun but informative trip!

The tour was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Not only do you get an incredible, deep-dive look into the life and inspiration of the King of Horror himself, but they also weave in fantastic history and local lore about Derry/Bangor. It turns out the town has just as much character as the books it inspired! Fun side note: I'm pretty sure I checked over my shoulder for Pennywise at least twice, but don't worry - the only thing truly scary about this tour is the thought of missing out on it! You will absolutely not be disappointed. Worth every single penny!

Well you do see this and more when you go on a nature cruise with Acadian Boat Tours. They have other tours as well like a Puffin or whale watch. We did want to do the Puffin tour but it was filled. I am so glad I got to go in this one. You need a camera, to take lots of pictures.They have drinks and snacks on the boat to purchase. It's clean, you get a narrated tour by professionals. You learn so much you can't come to Bar Harbor and not do it. Highly recommend!

Jocelyn's food is amazing, and she takes good care of me an my food allergies. The crew is amazing and friendly, and you can't beat the sea air. We just competed our third trip in 2 years and will be back aboard again in a month! ---- The cabins are what you would expect on a 100+ year old sailing vessel, but if you're reading this, you're already someone who will likely appreciate the authenticity of the experience over the luxury of the big "floating hotel" cruise ships. Captains Justin and Jocelyn couldn't be nicer, Jocelyn and her kitchen helpers put on some amazing meals given that they're all cooked on a wood stove and with minimal room to move around! Honestly, if you are the sort of person to whom this sort of adventure appeals, this is the ship for you. It's obviously not for everyone, and that's okay. But 5/5 stars for whose of us to whom it appeals!

We couldn't get over how incredible the food was, our favorites were the salmon, halibut, clam chowder, whiskey pork chops and of course the lobster bake! The steak that accompanied the lobster was just as good, if not better. Breakfasts of eggs Benedict, crab Benedict, and homemade cinnamon rolls, biscuits, shortbread, and bagels were amazing. Can't even begin to understand how difficult it must be to cook this level of quality food, for almost 30 people, on an antique wood burning stove. Hoping Jocelyn will publish a cookbook, even if it doesn't have the temperature and cook time info, I'm happy to play around with that on my own. We were blessed with great weather and really enjoyed the scenery, stars, and meteor shower. We saw seals, eagles, lobster boats, and were able to use the paddle board and rowboat. The water was cold but refreshing. My husband really enjoyed being able to help out with raising the anchor and sails, and we learned so much on our voyage. Between the crew and the guests, we met so many wonderful people from various backgrounds/demographics, and enjoyed all of our conversations. In regards to the other reviews about the cabins, bathrooms, dishes, I'm guessing those folks didn't read or research before signing up, keep in mind that this is an almost 100 year old schooner, and for the most part you're going to feel like you've stepped back in time, which is kind of the whole point. For us, it was nice to be able to disconnect from technology and all the modern-day conveniences that were so used to. Bring a book, game, journal, or craft to occupy your time. It was nice to not have to dry and style my hair or to worry about makeup. The cabins are small but we slept incredibly well. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper, my husband used breathe-right strips to help with snoring. We used extra large body wipes in lieu of the shower, and hats are a must. We brought bar soap -it was great to use in the sink in our cabin to wash hands, since hand sanitizer only goes so far, especially when you're applying sunscreen. They now have flush toilets that work really well, and we never had to wait in line to use them. As for the dishes, our travel companions did a good job of wiping everything off with their napkins first, and we had no issues with the warm soapy water. We had a great time and hope to be able to go again soon!
