See Beautiful and Breathtaking Sights Around the Great Harbor of Mount Desert

See mountains, eagles, and more on an unforgettable morning cruise departing from Northeast Harbor. This is our most popular cruise and is not to be missed. Experience superb views of Bear Island Lighthouse, nesting osprey and basking harbor seals framed by Acadia’s dramatic mountains comprise the first portion of the cruise.

A major highlight of the middle of the trip is a 45-minute stop at the 200-year-old lobster fishing village of Little Cranberry Island allowing you to explore an unspoiled offshore island community reminiscent of days gone by.  Note the Islesford Historic Museum will be closed in 2020 for renovations.

The last hour of the trip cruises deep into Somes Sound Fjord for a spectacular view of the vertical Eagle Cliffs rising directly from the sea.

Enjoy informative and entertaining commentary by one of our long time narrators as we cruise along.
