Excursion History and mystery of bar harbor walking tour tour at Bar Harbor

Explore the seaside village and working waterfront of Bar Harbor on this easy walking tour while thrilling to tales of local haunts and early history as well as seafaring mysteries and lore.

Your guide clad in period clothing will combine gracious hospitality with extensive local knowledge for an adventurous and lively interpretation of land and sea stories.

See Victorian mansions, hear stories of rum runners, and learn about people who shaped the history of this Maine island village.

Learn about the fisherman's timeless trade, from battling giant cod alone in an open boat on stormy seas, to the struggle of hauling lobster traps by hand. Find out about how seafood is harvested in modern times, and what it takes to bring that freshly caught lobster, swordfish, haddock, clam or oyster to your plate.

Your tour ends in the center of town, within sight of the tender landing to return to your ship, across the street from the chamber of commerce information booth, and directly in front of world famous Ben and Bill's Chocolate Emporium; for which your tour guide will give you a voucher for a free Italian soda or hot chocolate and a taste (if you dare) of lobster ice cream! If you want to continue exploring beautiful Bar Harbor, your guide will be happy to answer your questions or make suggestions.
