Bar Harbor sightseeing

I will be visiting Bar Harbor on a cruise ship and do not want to take a ship shore excursion. Any suggestion on other ways to see the sights.

Bar Harbor sightseeing

If you are coming between now and October 8, the free shuttle bus system will take you into Acadia National Park. You would need to walk from the dock, where the ship tender will leave you off, to the Village Green, about four blocks down Main Street. There the bus routes and schedule is posted. You can simply take a round trip through the Park or you could get off a bus to hike or have tea and popovers at the Jordan Pond House.

Or you could take Oli%26#39;s Trolley which is a narrated tour of the town and the sites of Acadia, including the top of Cadillac Mountain, where the free shuttle bus service does not go.

There are also taxis run by Panama Geddy%26#39;s. His drivers use old sedans or limos and give a narrated tour of wherever you would like to go.

Your other option is just to wander around the streets of Bar Harbor, walk the Shore Path, go over to Bar Island at low tide, view the stained glass windows at the church, visit the quaint public library, sip coffee at the Internet Cafe, or go to the Native American museum.
