We are just back from Bar Harbor and took this boat ride for our 8 year old. I think we had as much fun as he did! This was our first visit to Maine and it was incredible! The views from the water were incredible!! Capt. John was very informative and let my son drive the boat for a couple... more

I had seen the great reviews on this site for this tour and decided to give it a try because it was different and sounded interesting. It was a very nice day and we saw a lot of seals and a couple of bald eagles. Captain John was very knowledgable and all the kids just loved him. I found so... more

The Lobster Boat ride gives you the opportunity to see Bar Harbor from the water and learn the basics about lobster and lobstering (don't call it lobster fishing). :) Captain John was friendly and entertaining! It was raining when we went but we still had a great time! Not only did we learn the basics, but we saw lots of... more

Highly recommend this tour - it's a great value and far more interesting than the other... more

I took my 5 year son on this trip and we both loved it!! We had done another "nature" boat ride that morning and my son was bored. Capitain John was informative and entertaining. My next time in Bar Harbor I will be taking the tour again and can not wait. more

My wife and I did this with our 14-year-old son and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Captain is informative and entertaining, and watching him haul in a lobster trap and pull out his catch is not something you see every day! He explains things well and answers everyone's questions. We were all very glad we took the trip. more

Captain John does a great job explaining all about lobster trapping. He was funny and engaging and since the boat only holds 15, it's very up-front and personal. more

The boat was fun and captain John was knowledgeable and entertaining. I don't know why but we had in mind that the kids would be able to help haul a lobster trap, bait and set a trap. We spent so much time sight seeing that we only had time for Captain John to pull one trap. It is a fun... more
