Private Acadia Hike- Allday - We did an all day private hike of Acadia with Hailey. She expertly guided our family of 4, including our 5 and 8 y/o. She was patient with them and very knowledgeable about everything nature. We stopped to tide pool, see caterpillars, build rock formations, and saw amazing parts of the park. The picnic lunch was at an equally beautiful spot. I felt like she took us to the most popular places and places off the beaten path. In addition, we wanted some swag and she made a quick trip to Bar Harbor for us to pick up some shirts. Certainly the highlight of our trip.

BEST DAY EVER - Our day hike with Zach was (according to my children) THE BEST DAY EVER. Zach is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, prepared, patient, wonderful with teenagers, and an all around pro. I’m pretty sure my kids wanted to hike another 5 miles with him at the end of the day! Zach was so well prepared that when I wasn’t feeling well, he had extra ice, electrolytes, snacks, med kit, and everything we needed. We would book this guide company AND Zach again and again and again. A+

Great experience in Acadia - My family had an amazing day in Acadia with Ash! She was super knowledgeable, very personable, and great with our teenagers. She definitely went above and beyond with the most delicious and thoughtful picnic lunch as well as taking fantastic photos of our family for us to remember the day. We throughly enjoyed our visit to the park and highly recommend Ash and Good Trip Adventures.

Amazing Acadia Private Tour - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Good Trip Adventures in Acadia National Park on the 4th of July. Started with the sunrise at Cadillac Mountain and then many hours of hiking at various points throughout the park. Our guide, Devon, was outstanding and made it well worth the investment. He knew exactly where to go based on the time and crowds, kept the kids engaged (13 and 15), made sure everyone was always accounted for and safe, had significant knowledge on the history and flora of the area, helped carry items when needed and even took photos along the way without being prompted. Even before the trip, Beth went above and beyond to ensure we had the right booking for what we were looking to do. I can't recommend Devon and Good Trip Adventures highly enough. An outstanding day that my children and I will remember forever! Thank you.

Great Day in Acadia! - Our private tour in Acadia was outstanding! Our group was all adults, including some older, and our guide, Zach, did a great job of choosing hikes and walks that let everyone participate and still see the key landmarks in the park. We also couldn't have asked for a better guide for the day - Zach brought a wealth of naturalist knowledge to the day, helping us identify plants, learning what flowers are useful to support wellness, and generally adding value at every turn. Thank you Good Trip and Zach!

Ashley knows Acadia! - We toured with Ashley Vines and had a great day in Acadia! We hit some highlights (Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and Cadillac Mountain) and did some fabulous hikes (Beehive Trail, Bowl Trail and Flying Mountain Trail). Ashley also provided a fabulous picnic lunch at Suminsby Park, overlooking Somes Sound. Ashley was great with our kids and kept them safe on the trails while answering all of their questions. We definitely did and saw more with her than we would have on our own. And she even gave us park recommendations for the next day when we did venture back on our own. And she took pictures of us throughout the day so we didn’t have to mess with our phones. I’m so grateful for her help and expertise! I’d highly recommend her to anyone traveling to Acadia!
