National Park, Bar Harbor & Camden
Maine's beauty lies in its rawness. Imagine tart wild blueberries. Hills rising from Acadia National Park's rocky shores. Centuries-old roads, full of character, that hug the shoreline and connect village to village. Morning mist on Penobscot Bay. Even a delicacy like Maine lobster still involves shells and claws. It's raw. It's true. It's our Maine Bike Tour.
Highlights
- Bike along picturesque routes enjoying the salty sea air, the morning fog and the crash of waves on rocky shores
- Engage your senses as you listen to the silence of deep pine forests and soak up breathtaking ocean views
- Discover the countless charms of seaside Camden, with its historic homes and delightful shops and boutiques
- Experience the mouthwatering flavors of the day’s fresh catch, like lobster with plenty of butter for dipping
