Many of you know us as home to National Park Sea Kayak Tours, rebranded in 2021 as Maine State Sea Kayak and Acadia Fat Tire E-Bike.

We recently added Quackadia, Bar Harbor's newest rubber duck destination, featuring our exclusive Acadia Collection and hundreds of unique ducks from around the world.

But Things to Do in Acadia is becoming our collective of brands, and so much more.

Our vision has always been to help visitors experience Acadia National Park in a way that is fun, memorable, and accessible. That's why we're expanding our offerings to include:

• Premium guided tours and local experiences

• E-bike rentals and family adventures

• Bike repairs and service

• Visitor information and trip planning

• Family gear rentals coming soon, including toddler carriers, Pack 'n Plays, camping equipment, trekking poles, and more!

• Accessibility equipment, including adaptive hiking solutions designed to help more people experience Acadia's incredible trails

Too often, families arrive and realize they forgot an important item, couldn't fit it in their luggage, or simply don't want to travel with bulky gear. We want to help remove those barriers so more people can enjoy their time in Acadia.

Everything we do is guided by our core values:

🤝 Stronger Together

We believe adventures are better when shared. We work to connect visitors, families, and our local community through meaningful experiences.

🌲 Inclusive Adventure

Acadia belongs to everyone. We're committed to helping people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds experience the beauty of Mount Desert Island.

🦫 UNDAMMABLE

Like Maine's wildlife and the rugged coast we call home, we believe obstacles are meant to be overcome. We embrace creativity, resilience, and finding new ways to help people experience the outdoors.

Whether you're looking for the perfect family adventure, a premium tour, an e-bike rental, a forgotten piece of gear, a rubber duck souvenir, or simply some local advice, Things to Do in Acadia is here to help.

Because everyone deserves the opportunity to experience Acadia National Park — exactly as they are.

Coming soon.

This wilderness guide canoe is on its way home to Bar Harbor 🛶🌊

Built by the craftsmen at Island Falls Canoe, this isn’t just a canoe—it’s a piece of Maine history.

These traditional Maine guide canoes were originally used by guides (like Fly Rod Crosby, the first registered Maine Guide in 1897) to take clients deep into the wilderness—hauling gear, crossing remote lakes, and traveling long distances through Maine’s quiet waters.
Stable, strong, and built to carry both people and stories.

Today, this one will live on in a new way: – wedding photo shoots, public display, and personal fun!

Same spirit, just a different kind of journey.
Check it out this summer through Things To Do In Acadia 🤙
