Set sail for a magical evening on The Acadian while supporting the animals of the SPCA of Hancock County! This special cruise will trace the shoreline of Bar Harbor, where you’ll take in sweeping views of summer mansions and the iconic Egg Rock Lighthouse. Along the way, we’ll be on the lookout for harbor seals, playful porpoises, and soaring eagles. A knowledgeable Acadian Boat Tours naturalist will bring the journey to life with stories, history, and local lore.
As the cruise winds down, the boat will pause in the bay just before 7 p.m., giving guests a front-row seat to one of Maine’s most breathtaking sights - a coastal sunset over Frenchman Bay.
