Why is Acadia National Park's Ocean Drive often dubbed "the most magnificent waterfront roadway in the United States?" Find out for yourself on this small-group outing (maximum 14 privileged guests) that explores the place where the wild Atlantic meets the impenetrable, unforgiving granite shoreline of Mount Desert Island.
On a stunning panoramic drive, you'll see Acadia's coastal splendor from every angle, including photo/commentary stops at three storied locations -- Thunder Hole, Schooner Head and Otter Cove. Along the way, learn about this rugged coastline's history and the challenges its maritime explorers have faced over the centuries.
You'll visit scenic overlooks inaccessible to larger vehicles, including one offering a sweeping vista overlooking the rambling mansion of Dick Wolf -- legendary television producer of Law & Order.
When the surf's up, experience the thrill of breakers rolling in from hundreds of miles offshore, building to a crescendo as they crash into immovable cliffs and boulders. American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized this action by coining the term "the rockbound coast" of Maine. It's yours to discover today.
