    Travelers consistently rave about the knowledgeable guides and captains who bring Maine's coastline to life. The crew, including guides like Betty, Bob, and various park rangers, earn special praise for their expertise in local history, wildlife spotting, and geological formations. Captains are noted for their thoughtfulness, like turning the boat multiple times so everyone can photograph the lighthouse. The tours run smoothly even in less-than-perfect weather, with reasonable pricing and the bonus of being dog-friendly. The cruise includes a stop at Little Cranberry Island that gives you time to explore galleries, visit museums, or simply stretch your legs. Expect to see seals, bald eagles, osprey, and various seabirds along the way, plus stunning views of Bear Island Lighthouse and summer cottages tucked into fjord-like inlets. Multiple reviewers mention this provides perspectives of Acadia you simply can't get from land. There's ample parking available, and the experience works well for families and those with mobility concerns alike.

    A well run tour from Northeast Harbor. Plenty of space on board for all. Shaun and Betty are both really experienced and knowledgeable. We headed out in blue skies and by the time we had gone out to Little Cranberry island the sea mist had rolled in. This didn’t spoil the trip however. Shaun steered us towards lots of interesting things along the way. We passed Bear Island Lighthouse. We saw seals and bald eagle and lots of sea birds. We sailed into the fjard (a fjord to the rest of us) and saw the lovely summer cottages. I highly recommend this trip!
