My friends and I took a camping trip in Bar Harbor before much was open for the season. Luckily Capt. John was doing tours at the time and we decided to take one. It was great! I had worried that maybe being young adults we wouldn't enjoy it as much as any children that were on the boat, but I'm... More

Capt. John was captivating, entertaining, personable, knowledgeable, cute, passionate about his business, and a pure joy to be around. The tour was great fun, and it was so refreshing to see someone who loves his work and sharing what he knows. Capt. John is an endangered species! I've been a teacher for 32 years, and I know a good "teacher"... More

The captain's a former lobsterman....knows more about lobster body parts than anyone I know...and freely shares the info :) It's a great attraction with his tour lasting about 90 minutes. Good for adults and kids and boat trip includes visit to see seals hanging out on their rock village. Captain is funny and entertaining...great guide as well and a real... More

We were 2 adults and took this tour just before the summer season. It had been an overcast day that finally opened up into a sunny one. There was some question between the weather and how many people wanted to tour as to whether we would go or not. I'm so glad we did. The ride was beautiful, the seals... More

It was quite expensive to go looking for seals. YES, You will spend more than half of this trip looking at seals laying around doing nothing. Then you get some background information on Lobstering. And when you decide to ask a question that the capt feels uncomfortable to answer, he will tell you that there are lots of text out... More

I believe that this reviewer either has confused my tour with another or never even took my tour. Based on the specific comments in the review, there are several reasons I believe that this review is misguided at best or intentionally meant to try to do harm to my business's (hard earned) reputation at worst. 1. "It is quite expensive... More

Coming on board the Lulu and the subsequent tour was most enjoyable, informative, and educational. Capt. John is very knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about the every aspect of the lobster industry. Capt. John could easily be a college professor. He made the tour very engaging for all, whether it was the two young ladies that were in elementary school, to... More

Sincerely enjoyed this tour. The crew and captain were great and made what could have been a good experience into something much more enjoyable. They went out of their way to serve their passengers and ensured that everyone was comfortable and given the opportunity to observe and participate. The explanations and demonstrations relating to the local lobster industry were very... More

Captain John made the whole thing worthwhile. While some of the harbor tours will give you a little info on the area and some nice sights, Capt. John narrates the entire voyage while interracting with you personally so you get everything you might want to know and more. Not just terrific scenery either, as he will pull up real lobster...
