Quick Details
Travel aboard the M/V Miss Samantha out nine miles from Bar Harbor, to visit one of the crown jewels of Acadia National Park.
This tour is guided by a National park ranger/naturalist who will point out and identify wildlife such as seals, porpoise, bald eagles, and seabirds, provide a wonderful program of interpretation, and answer all your questions.
When you arrive to the island you are ferried to shore by our launch skiff, The Baker’s Dozen!
Be sure to pack a lunch and wear your hiking shoes to prepare for over an hour of walking and exploring the island!
Highlights include the 200-year-old Gilley family farmstead and the Baker Island Lighthouse.
The ranger will take you on a walking tour to the lighthouse and the rocky shore where you can eat your lunch or explore, all while enjoying breathtaking ocean scenery and wildlife.
On the way back on the Miss Samantha, you will travel along the eastern shoreline of Mount Desert Island and view many of the highlights of Acadia up close including: Otter Cliffs, Sand Beach and Great Head. A great fun-filled adventure for all!
