BAR HARBOR, ME
After a delightful breakfast, you will enjoy the best of both worlds in Bar Harbor. Start with a sea adventure as you embark on an authentic lobster boat to go lobstering. Watch experienced fisherman haul in lobster traps from the ocean floor as a professional naturalist describes everything and answer questions about lobster fishing and marine wildlife. About halfway through the cruise, the lobster gear is put away and you will head off to a small island to view seals basking on the rocks or swimming in the nearby water. Once back on dry land, we suggest to head to Acadia National Park for a hike and picnic. The park is home to many plants and animals, and the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic coast which offers spectacular views of the Porcupine Islands and Fisherman Bay. (B)
