We had the best experience. Literally zero complaints. First I booked the trip months ago and realized I booked for the wrong week. I reached out and it was no problem for them to move the flight to the week we were actually going to be there. Then the day of our flight we get there ready to go and out of no where the heavens opened and it was thundering and lightning. Yet again, rescheduled very easy and conveniently. I really appreciated they didn’t try to convince us to go up saying it would be fine. They offered to reschedule for us and kept apologizing. Not only was safety a concern but they kept saying how much they wanted us to enjoy our ride and see the island. So the very next day we arrive and it is the clearest day ever!!! On top of it they asked how old our children were and they realized I paid for my youngest even though he was technically free. They right away refunded my card, when really they could have done nothing and I would not have noticed.
Then we get on the plane and Logan was such a great pilot. I don’t think I have ever experienced a smoother take off or landing in all my years of flying on commercial airplanes. Logan was very personable and kept the conversation flowing and was very knowledgeable about the sights we were seeing. The hour went by so fast bc he was so good at what he does. It was such a cool experience and the fact it was through such an honest and kind company was the cherry on top. I can not recommend these tours enough. We will absolutely book through them again next time we visit and will tell all of our friends and family about them. Thank you for a great morning!!!

the folks at Scenic Flights were wonderful from our first call seeking reservation, there follow up in between and our arrival at their office. The plane was clean as a whistle and ready to go when we arrived, the pilot a consummate professional with great knowledge of the area. He provided a nice narrative of what we were seeing while not being overwhelming w talking. We have done flightseeing trips all over the world, The Acadia operation is top notch, hence they have been around for decades.

We had an amazing flight with Aliza as our pilot. She was so professional and shared her knowledge of flying with our 12 year old daughter who even took the controls for part of the flight! We actually went out 2xs as the first day the fog covered all of Bar Harbor and we couldn't see anything. They offered us a refund or a rebooking and we decided to try it again the next day and we are so glad we did. The weather was beautiful and the view of Bar Harbor was amazing! Amazing experience and would highly recommend it!

Chris (pilot) experience by 3yrs had me at hi .The tone of his voice had meat hello. I was celebrating my 60th bday and his melodious voice with instructions (headset, how to climb into the plane, what to be expected) eased my mind NOT fear cuz he made the tour FUN with his own narration of the isle. Ex: ugly lighthouse? "sand Beach" " bear paw isle"? He pointed out spots we hiked (he didn't know) Yet those spots were soooo much more beauuutiful from up above!!! Anne (owner) was friendly and quite the conversationalist

My son, daughter and I went on the 50 minute flight and enjoyed the whole experience. The pilot was professional and personable, working hard to make the experience a positive one for all of us. The weather was perfect, the flight smooth, and we circled above the islands and the mainland to see many of the lighthouses in the area. I'd highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity if you're in the Bar Harbor area.

We went on the All Acadia flight path that lasted approximately 40 minutes with 3 passengers. Our pilot, Fletcher, was wonderful and even let me fly the plane for a little bit. The weather was wonderful during our flight and we got to see beautiful views of Acadia and the harbours around the island. It was an amazing experience to be in a small, single-engine aircraft at 1500 feet in the air. It was so amazing that I am now considering getting my pilot's license!

We had a terrific flight with Logan, who was a great pilot and so friendly with our kids! Logan flew a very smooth flight so we felt safe and comfortable the whole ride. He also provided descriptions of what we were seeing and answered all our kids questions. I highly recommend Logan and Scenic Flights for a fun family activity with spectacular views!

My husband and I made a last minute decision the night before to go on the 50 minute deluxe lighthouse tour for our anniversary. We had to wait a little longer than expected to head out but the weather was beautiful and the staff offered us water while we waited so we really didn’t mind. Our pilot, Manny, was very personable, knowledgeable of the area and made us feel comfortable the whole flight. The views were absolutely beautiful and I could not recommend them more if you’re looking into taking a flight with them!

We went on our first day in Bar Harbor. It was a great way to see all of the places you could go and then spend the next few days exploring the places we saw from above. Our pilot was a cute spunky funny girl from Las Vegas who had us entertained from the moment we met her!!! It is a must do activity!!!!

This great way to see all of the island and Acadia. Our pilot did a great job of showing as a Birdseye view the area while also providing comments and history, in addition, he gave us smooth, safe flight. Highly recommended!
