During the day there will be many opportunities to take incredible photographs of lighthouses, coastal scenery, wildlife, islands, historical mansions, and Acadia National Park.
If sea conditions prevent boat from going to Mount Desert Rock and Matinicus we will reroute the tour and view four Penobscot Bay lights: Owls Head, Rockland Breakwater, Indian Island, and Curtis Island.
