Arrive in Portland and meet your guide by mid-morning for transfer to Acadia National Park. You’ll stop along the way to take in views of the rocky coastline and collect any last-minute supplies. Tonight, you’ll settle into your accommodations in Bar Harbor, get to know one another over a welcome dinner, and review the full adventure ahead.
Head out on the trails of Acadia for a full day of hiking. The day will include a morning and afternoon hike with a chance to explore the park’s rocky coast and its wooded trails. Along the way, your guide will share their wealth of knowledge about the fascinating wildlife and human history of the area. You’ll head back to the hotel to relax before dinner and a good night’s rest.
Today is designed for the early birds! You’ll wake up well before the sun to head to Cadillac Mountain. As the sky begins to turn a myriad of colors, you’ll make your way up to the summit in time to see it peak from above the horizon. This is the first spot the sun touches in the United States for much of the year! Afterwards, you’ll hop on bikes to explore Acadia’s carriage roads. In the afternoon, you’ll explore the Cranberry Islands before heading to your luxury glamping accommodations!
