I usually don’t like to take most tourist things anywhere because of the lack of quality of the attraction, most are simply not worth the money spent. My son 10yrs, loves Lobsters and persuaded me well really bugged me into submission. I have to say it was one of the best, if not the best money I have ever spent... more

My family and I were not expecting to enjoy the boat ride near as much as we did. I thought we would ride out and maybe see some wildlife. To our enjoyment, baby seals were popping out of the water all around the boat. What made the trip so much fun was Captain John himself, his stories and how he... more

We went on this ride in June 2009 based on the recommendations. It was great! They warned us that our small children (6, 3, and 6 months) might get wiggly. No problems there. The younger two fell asleep and the oldest one loved the ride. We saw seals, seal pups, a bad eagle's nest, 3 lobsters and a crab. You... more

This was our favorite attraction in Bar Harbor and to think that we almost gave it up. At first it didnt' sound so interesting because we don't eat lobster. But that didn't matter a bit.

It appeared to us that Captain John sincerely desired every single member on this lobster-learning and seal-watching journey walked... more

Capt. John Nicolai and his Lulu the Lobster boat experience exceeded expectations. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining and it was a highlight of a cruise to New England. more

I did this trip with my 12-year-old daughter and we were not disappointed. There's plenty of room on the boat (they don't sell too many tickets) and the captain makes sure everyone gets to see whatever it is that he's showing. The boat is comfortable and has complimentary drinks. What we most enjoyed was the information about lobsters and the... more

As others have said, don't miss the LuLu trip. We went out at 3:30 PM. The weather was brisk and overcast but we had a great time. Learned lots about seals, lobsters and lighthouses. The Captain is a gifted entertainer. They provided binoculars and anti-motion sickness wristbands. The boat is very stable. A fun time for all. more
