Where to park?

Bar Harbor

Our shop is located at 39 Cottage St. The town of Bar Harbor has metered parking and it can be very busy in town, especially during the summer months. Finding parking is your responsibility so plan on enough time to secure long term parking so you can arrive at the shop 40 minutes prior to the scheduled tour time. Your party really needs this time to organize, meet your guide and go over safety and a paddle lesson. This is mandatory. If you fail to follow these protocols you will not be able to go on the tour. No exceptions or refunds will be made. Use the link below to view the Official Bar Harbor Parking map.
