Four of us are visiting MDI, & all four of us would say that the highlight of the trip was our boat ride out to Frenchboro Island. Captain Eli was GREAT -- he gave so much information on lobster fishing, the history of Maine, the...More
With this being the third vacation to Acadia (and my mother's first), we were determined to explore more of the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island, and the afternoon nature cruise seemed to be an excellent way to experience the less-touristy side of Acadia. Let...More
