 Verified Best day of vacation!
Breathtaking, spectacular, awesome. It is not to be missed. I was concerned about our fitness level (we are in our 70's). But the bikes made the 20 mile lake route quite comfortable. Riding the carriage roads with no cars was relaxing. The staff at Acadia Stand Up Paddle Board were fantastic at answering 1,000 questions with humor and patience.

 Verified Perfect!
My husband and I (ages 58 & 60) had never been to Acadia or ridden e-bikes before and we had a wonderful time! We lucked out with probably one of the prettiest fall days of the year and rode for over 20 miles. The staff was great, brief instructions were helpful, and their map connected us to the carriage roads. The bikes were easy to operate. Definitely recommend!!

 Verified Amazing e-bike tour! Well worth it!!
Lee was an amazing guide! Funny and provided education at our stops. He was always mostly concerned about our safety though. This is an absolutely beautiful and fun way to tour the park without having to deal with traffic as much and parking.

Lee was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate. We had never rode E-bikes, Lee got acclimated quickly. We changed normal route and did tour on Carriage Roads.

 Verified Amazing ebike tour with great guide
This was an amazing e-bike tour of Acadia National Park! Our tour guide, Lee, was fantastic and so informative. I’ve ridden an ebike before, but some people on the tour had no prior experience, and Lee did a great job explaining everything and making everyone feel comfortable This was an awesome way to get an overview of the park and see so much in a short amount of time. Pro tip:** Bring gloves if you’re visiting in October because it can get a little nippy. There’s also time for a lunch break at the only restaurant inside the park, or you can pack your own lunch if you prefer. Overall, I had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. We covered 22 miles in roughly 4 hours, and it was totally worth it!
