Day Hike Tours
1 Day 3.5MI / 5.6KM
Trip Highlights
This unforgettable day hike showcases the best of Acadia National Park with a dynamic route tailored to each group’s interests. We begin with an exhilarating climb up the Beehive Trail—a short but steep ascent using iron rungs and ladders—before continuing to Gorham Mountain for sweeping views of Maine’s rugged coastline. From there, we descend to the Atlantic, following the dramatic Ocean Path past Thunder Hole, Sand Beach, and the cliffs of Great Head. With mountain summits, quiet ponds, and crashing surf, this hike delivers the full Acadia experience in a single day.

Our Wildland guide was one the best guides we’ve ever had. He was friendly, fun, patient, safe and engaging. We would do another trip with him anytime. The sign up and registration process was also so easy and everyone was very friendly.
