My wife and I had a wonderful time on our flight. We chose the All Acadia option and enjoyed every minute of it. The pilot was skilled and the views were amazing. Our pilot was not the best at conversation, but we would definitely use them again. If you are looking for something extremely memorable for your trip, I would... More

We decided to go with Scenic Flights of Acadia to enjoy the trip by air - amazing trip! I believe it was an All Acadia tour. Only suggestion -... More

This is the best way to see Acadia National Park. It's difficult to put into words just how spectacular our flight was. We took the all of acadia flight. We were able to see our hotel from the air. The staff were amazing. They kept in close contact from the first email enquiring about their service through getting on the... More

We took the lighthouse tour, reasonably priced. Beautiful views- we were up for about an hour. Our pilot Eric let my wife fly a bit which she was thrilled to do as she is interested in a pilot's license herself. Staff was friendly and helpful with area places to eat etc.Pilot Eric was not very talkative and we felt could've... More

For an unbelievable low price, you can be the pilot of the plane for an hour and actually have the experience in a safe way with a friendly, experienced pilot. I made this a surprise anniversary gift for my husband who has driven everything on wheels and has never done this. He was thrilled and will always remember this trip!... More

Only had two days on Mt. Desert Island... so chose to do the All Acadia tour to get an idea of the area. Absolutely fabulous! Friendly staff It was foggy the morning we were to fly, and they kindly worked to reschedule later in the day so we would have good views. I suggest driving through the Park Loop Road... More

Enjoyed our trip of the national park. Was amazed at the number of islands we saw. Very friendly staff willing to find out things for us like there are 3166 islands off the coast of Maine. We took the long tour and saw all the light houses in the area and a wonderful view of the penobscot (sp) bridge.

After spending most of the day in the park and having a stroll around Bar Harbor, I decided to take a look at the area from a different perspective. Scenic Flights has a small kiosk and parking area by the airport - on Route 3 as you drive south through Trenton. The staff were very welcoming and out of the... More

Two of us went on the 35min around the island flight. Great visibility from both the front and back seats. High-wing airplane really gives an unobstructed view. Very professional amd friendly service. We were in the plane 5min after arriving. Like the other reviews said, you are about 1500 feet up. Our pilot gave a very good description of some... More

If you want to see Mount Desert Island and some of the surrounding islands Scenic Flights of Acadia is the only way to go. You won't find a friendlier group of people and our pilot Eric was very knowlegable and informative of the region. Nothing beats driving through Acadia National Park but the view from 1500 feet above makes you... More
