On the water
The whale-watching boats are at the town pier. Bring warm clothes, even if it’s 80+ outside. Leisurely bay cruise on the Margaret Todd schooner in front of the Bar Harbor Inn. The Lulu is a lobster boat you can go out on. Acadia Fishing Tours in Southwest Harbor is good if you are into deep-sea fishing. Be prepared for lots of ocean action on the boat. If a smaller watercraft is for you try National Park Sea Kayak Tours or Acadia Stand Up Paddle Boarding.
