Carriages of Acadia

I was in Bar Harbor this past week attending a Navy Reunion. We took advantage of going for carriage rides. It was very enjoyable. We had Emily who happens to be the Manager driving our carriage. She was very knowledgeable of the park. It is very reasonably priced. The horses are well cared for. Well worth taking the ride

For the price this was a pretty decent 1 hour ride from a two horse drawn carriage up some of the most picturesque scenes in Acadia National Park. If you are looking for a «tour», I would specifically call this an actual tour since the driver did not say much and I think I knew a bit more about the park than they did. However, it was a nice leisurely ride through the carriage trails and allowed you to see scenery you would not normally see if you were walking by yourself. The price for adults was $ 20 and kids depending on age were either $ 5 or $ 10 which was not bad at all. They even allowed you to take pictures with your kids at the end although some of the actual stable staff could have been just a bit more friendlier. One of the female staff members looked at us like we were bothering the horses and disrupting her day. Still in all not a bad ride and worth the price.
