Exceptional experience! - I can’t say enough wonderful things about Good Trip Adventures but ESPECIALLY about Ash. We booked a sunrise tour of Cadillac Mountain, it rained the day we were supposed to go. We were unable to see the sunrise on our tour day because of the rain. We still toured Acadia when the rain let up, Ash was very informative and went above and beyond showing us all the sights. What made this EXCEPTIONAL, Ash made time another day when it was sunny and took us up for the sunrise experience on Cadillac mountain. She went out of her way, made sure we got to experience it even though it wasn’t something she had to do. She was wonderful with all ages that were in our group, brought hot chocolates and breakfast for the kids along with tea/coffee for adults. Would highly recommend this tour and highly highly recommend Ash. EXCEPTIONAL!!

Best part of our trip! - We did the Cadillac Mountain sunrise tour with Ash and it was incredible!! She knew exactly where the best spots were and brought us a fun picnic breakfast after the sunrise. Then we hiked an off the beaten path trail. She was super knowledgeable and informative while we hiked. We also really enjoyed chatting with her. She even gave us lots of local tips for food and things to do. It was a fantastic day! Highly recommend!

Fantastic Adventure - The Cadillac Mountain Sunrise Tour was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Hailey our guide for the morning was knowledgeable and ensured we were able to see the specific sites we wanted to see and much more. This was a great value and worth every minute. The breakfast picnic was extra special. This is an adventure we will remember.

Worth the money - We absolutely loved this tour. Ash, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable about the park and different spots and hikes to see and do in Acadia. We experienced the most beautiful sunrise (dress warm, it gets cold up there that early), where Ash provided us with hot coffee and hot chocolate for our kids. After the sunrise, we had a delicious picnic breakfast, that included fresh Maine blueberries. We then hit 2 beaches and a beautiful hike. Ash also captured our morning with dozens of great pictures. I would highly recommend this tour and our tour guide. I will use this company again in the future without hesitation!

The Best Day of our Vacation! - We had an amazing experience with Ash on our half day Cadillac Mountain sunrise/Acadia tour. Stunning scenery, delicious breakfast and Ash had taken care of everything for us. Two days before our tour, she even reached out to see what trails we were hiking ahead of our time. She had great suggestions for us on our unaccompanied hikes and really took the time to listen to our wishes for the hikes we did with her. Sunrise was incredible, then we were off to breakfast and then to see some of Acadia's hidden gems, and the big bonus was that there were no crowds! She shared facts about the park's history, geology and even educated us on some of the foliage. She was very engaging and we really enjoyed our time with her- worth every penny!

AMAZING WAY TO START YOUR DAY!!! - Spectacular Day spent with Tour Guide Hailey. Left at 4 am and had coffee at the top of Cadillac Mountain 30 or so mins before the sunrise. What a view and experience. Then we were able to spend the following four hours touring all the top spots in Acadia National Park before the crowds arrived. The tour guys knowledge of rocks, plants, and nature in general was next level. Looking forward to our next tour with this company.

Amazing ! - We knew it would fog over the sunrise but Nathan made it informational. We saw a little sunrise peaks and he took us to the actual highest marker on the summit. Very interesting !
