Stop at the oldest town on Mount Desert Island
Somes Sound is a fjard, a body of water running deep into Mount Desert Island, the main site of Acadia National Park in Maine, United States. Its deepest point is approximately 175 feet, and it is over 100 feet deep in several places. The sound almost splits the island in two.
See the fishing community of Southwest Harbor on the panoramic Great Harbor.
Stop at an authentic lobster pound and see the working lobster business. **Lunch is on your own. A full menu is available.
Many of Maine’s beaches are covered with cobblestones, but this coastline is unique. Powerful ocean storms created a massive seawall. As waves break, they carry rocks from the base of the beach and carry them up to shore. As the tides come in and out, heavier stones get piled at the top and smaller, lighter stones remain down the slope.
All of our tours start and end by going through the historic corridors of Bar Harbor.
