Overview

Your local guide, Joe Grollino of Island Wonders Tour Company, will reveal a side of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island that few get to experience. Forget the summer crowds and bustling traffic; this is a tour for those who seek the tranquil, majestic beauty of winter in Maine.
The winter landscape:
When the first snow falls, Acadia transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland, blanketing the park's rugged granite peaks and rocky shorelines. On this tour, you'll witness this serene landscape at its finest!
A peaceful park:
The quiet season offers solitude, allowing you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty without distraction.
Iconic scenery, now with a frosty twist:
See familiar sights in a new light, with frost-dusted evergreens and ice-rimmed coastlines painting a stunning picture.
Ever-present sea:
The dramatic coastline remains a constant, with waves crashing against the icy rocks and cliffs, creating a spectacular, powerful display.

    Acadia National Park

    Catch the Atlantic Coastline in its Winter Grandeur! While Cadillac Mountain's summit road is closed, the stunning pink granite coast remains accessible. We'll travel along the plowed portion of the Park Loop Road, from Schooner Head Road to Otter Cliff Road, to visit Acadia's most scenic ocean views. Experience the famous Thunder Hole as winter waves crash into the rocky inlet, creating a unique and powerful spectacle. Witness a rare sight at Sand Beach, where the ocean meets a beach made of sand and shell, now framed by a tranquil, wintry landscape. See ice formations and gaze out at the amazing vistas from the Otter Cliffs. At Jordan Pond you can capture stunning photos of the frozen pond set against the snow-dusted Bubbles mountains. Sieur de Monts Spring, Eagle Lake, and so much more awaits! Take the time to explore trails along the way, or enjoy the views from inside the heated 4-wheel drive Jeep Cherokee.
