Perfect and exceeded expectations - Asher was awesome! I have knee issues and my husband and I love quiet remote places to explore and rejuvenate. With it being prime tourist season she still made our experience perfect. Exceeded expectations, thanks Asher!

- Great tour with a great guide. Kiki arrived on time to pick us up for the sunrise viewing. We arrived with plenty of time to get a good viewing spot. Kiki had coffee and hot chocolate while we waited. After the spectacular sunrise we began our tour of the park. Kiki took us to all of the highlights of Acadia and we had ample time to explore each area. Had a nice stop for breakfast along the way. Kiki was very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting facts to share with us throughout the day. Would highly recommend this tour for a personalized, care-free experience exploring Acadia.

Cadillac Mountain sunrise - We did the private Cadillac Mountain sunrise tour with Kiki as part of our family trip to Maine with our high school age children. Kiki was attentive and knowledgeable and gave us a customized morning as well offered tips for the remainder of our time in Acadia. Good Trip Adventures and Kiki as our guide took care of everything and thought of every detail.

Perfect private Sunrise Tour - Kiki was absolutely awesome! The Sunrise was amazing! You have to see it! We had used this same company last year and were very happy with a similar tour they offered. We asked Kiki to show us some of the unique hikes in the area after the sunrise and she really delivered!! Our family had the most wonderful day!!! Thank you!!!

Cold temps. Warm hearted guide. - Early morning. Cold temps. Yet another great experience. We were fortunate to have Asher as our guide for the second day in a row. Knowing us from the day before, Asher was very intentional in ensuring everyone was comfortable and had an enjoyable time. They have a special way of making you feel seen and valued, which goes a long way when you are out of your element. Wonderful experience and highly recommend.

Warm thoughts from a chilly sunrise - Asher was the perfect guide for us. I am always cold, and Asher was aware of this and provided blankets, warm drinks, and even something for me to sit on. Never have I had an experience that was so customized - not just to my preferences, but to my comfort. Asher took great care to ensure I was able to enjoy the sunrise with my family - despite the cold and wind.

Thoughtfully Planned Experience - Asher was the most thoughtful guide throughout our tour - making sure that my older parents were comfortable and able to experience everything the park had to offer despite their mobility challenges. I am so grateful for the memories we were able to make and I believe it’s only because of Asher’s knowledge, kindness, and thoughtfulness.

Unforgettable Sunrise Tour at Cadillac Mountain with Under Canvas - What an amazing experience! While staying with Under Canvas, we decided to do the Cadillac Mountain sunrise tour—and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Kiki, was absolutely wonderful—so pleasant, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring.
Acadia National Park is breathtaking on its own, but having an expert like Kiki guide us to the best spots and help navigate the sometimes tricky driving and parking made all the difference. We were able to just relax and take it all in.
Even our teenagers put their phones down and were fully present—soaking up every second and making real memories. Couldn’t recommend this experience more!

Exceptional experience! - I can’t say enough wonderful things about Good Trip Adventures but ESPECIALLY about Ash. We booked a sunrise tour of Cadillac Mountain, it rained the day we were supposed to go. We were unable to see the sunrise on our tour day because of the rain. We still toured Acadia when the rain let up, Ash was very informative and went above and beyond showing us all the sights. What made this EXCEPTIONAL, Ash made time another day when it was sunny and took us up for the sunrise experience on Cadillac mountain. She went out of her way, made sure we got to experience it even though it wasn’t something she had to do. She was wonderful with all ages that were in our group, brought hot chocolates and breakfast for the kids along with tea/coffee for adults. Would highly recommend this tour and highly highly recommend Ash. EXCEPTIONAL!!

Must do - We went up to the top at 4 am and joined hundreds of others waiting for the sunrise. Unfortunately, the sky had clouds all along the horizon.
It is a must do event because of the beautiful mountain.
