What makes Shaka Guide: Acadia National Park Audio Tour Guide a unique experience ?
Acadia National Park & The Hulls Cove Visitor Center, where you purchase park tickets and get maps.
Your first overlook after entering the park, high above the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Ocean.
An exhibit center for park nature and science, plus Wild Gardens and trails like Jesup Path, on the site of Acadia’s origin.
Another view from afar showing you how high up you still are above Bar Harbor and the ocean, before you get closer to sea level.
A larger, still elevated overlook area with a vista of the sea
This is a popular, two mile round-trip, moderate loop hike high above the ocean and Sand Beach.
From the Sand Beach parking lot, head down to the sandy beachfront, or walk up to the Ocean Path and walk parallel to the road and coastline all the way to Otter Point. It’s 2.2 miles, or 4.4 miles round trip.
This is a small inlet, naturally carved out of the rocks, where the waves roll in. At the end of the inlet, down low, is a small cavern where, when the rush of the wave arrives, air and water are forced out like a clap of thunder, with splashes as high as 40 feet to accompany the thunderous roar.
These cliffs rise a hundred feet above the coast and are a popular rock-climbing spot over the ocean.
This is the very southern tip of the peninsula, and the other end of the Ocean Path that began back at Sand Beach. The view from here is one of the most spectacular sights along the North Atlatic seaboard.
This is where the road curves around the inlet known as Otter Cove, featuring a one-of-a-kind stone bridge. The inlet leads to a creek on the other side. This cove is a great place for tidepooling!
A giant barn holds stables for enormous, strong horses that pull carriages up and down some of the historic carriage roads of Acadia, just as they’ve done since the days of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who began building them in 1913.
This pond is more like a lake. It covers 187 acres with an iconic view of the Bubbles mountains. Jordan Pond House is a historic house…and home to an iconic tradition at Acadia…the baking of hot, piping popover rolls that remain one of the most popular reasons that folks flock to Acadia!
Bubble Rock is a gigantic boulder hanging off the side of South Bubble Mountain. To get to it, hike the Bubbles Divide Trail. This is a short, easy-to-moderate hike, only about a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 608 feet. Plus some boulder scrambling at the end if you want to get really close to the rock. Hike the Bubbles Divide Trail to South Bubble, following signs to Bubble Rock.Just keep left the whole way up the trail.
Cadillac Mountain rises 1,528 feet above sea level. That makes is the highest mountain in Acadia and on Mount Desert Island. It’s also the highest point along the entire east coast of the United States. And you can drive up to the summit for breathtaking views of Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay and the Porcupine Islands.
