Maine Reason to Love Fall
JaneA454, October 2026
This was such a great way to explore the park! We only had one day to see everything, and I feel like we got to experience all the highlights. We passed lots of hikers on the trails and cars on the road, so I was especially glad we chose these e-bikes with John, our experienced trail guide, to show us around.
The entire experience was completely stress-free, and the bikes were great for every fitness level. We had a mixed group, but everyone was able to keep up thanks to the adjustable power assist. It was such a fun, easy, and efficient way to see the park in a limited amount of time. I highly recommend this experience!

Excellent!! Best part of our visit to Acadia. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared local history and interesting park facts with us. Got to see more of the park than we would have on our own. Bikes were comfortable and easy to ride.

denisehP9997SZ, October 2026
Wow what a great adventure. This is a must when visiting Acadia Park! This was the highlight of our getaway. 6hrs ride through the park. You may think 6hrs is too long but definitely not. Miles to explore on E Bike with no effort easy ride. You stop at many different areas for periods of time and stop at Jordan House for lunch or popovers. The time FLIES! This was so fun and the fall foliage was just incredible. Definitely book this adventure worth every penny and the staff was super friendly and professional.
