Summary: This was a memorable tour, all thanks to Hailey. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, and knew all the best spots. Honestly, words cannot describe how perfect the day was. We had a small group consisting of just me and another woman. Some of the spots we visited included Sand Beach, Little Hunters Beach, Bass Harbor Head Light Station, and Cadillac Mountain. We also had a quiet and calm lunch along the Ship Harbor Trail. As a solo traveler without a car, I may not have been able to visit some of these spots without a car, and for that reason, I'm grateful to have booked this tour. On top of that, Hailey went above and beyond, sending me recommendations on spots to visit for the rest of my Acadia trip. I would 100% recommend Good Trip Adventures, especially for solo travelers.
