With its picturesque coast, perfect beaches, and an awe-inspiring nature reserve, Bar Harbor is probably America’s prettiest town and a top destination for your holiday. Nestling off the Atlantic shoreline on Mount Desert Island, and with a great summer climate that swells the island’s tiny population, Bar Harbor is the jewel in New England’s coast.
Cruises to Bar Harbor have lots to offer. There is an amazing variety on offer for those who want to explore one of the last unspoilt wildernesses. You can relax for hours on Sand Beach while your children play in the warm sparkling waters. Or if you want something more exciting, then you can explore the island’s trails. For the energetic, be sure to hike up the Beehive overlooking Frenchman’s Bay and Champlain Mountain. But for those who want their holidays to be more chilled, then simply stroll along Shorepath or the Ocean Trail above the dramatic coastline. And for those who love adventure, why not see the island on the famous kayak and canoe tours, or scoot across Frenchman’s Bay in the awe-inspiring four-mast schooner. And for lovers of wildlife, you’ll be in heaven as travel the calm waters of Bass Harbor on a whale-watching trip. Be sure to keep an eye out for porpoises and dolphins! You’ll find just what you want on your cruises to Bar Harbor.
