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!!!

My husband surprised me with a flight over the island and all I have to say is "Wow!" Pilot Pete was such a great guide — perfect landing, smooth flight, and he gave us tons of history and pointed out all the most important sights from the air. I grew up vacationing here and have now seen MDI from literally every angle. I say if you're looking for something a little more novel to do, this is a great tour. Thanks Pete and team!

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!

I had a really great time on the Scenic Flights of Acadia, “All Acadia” Tour in May of 2023 and highly recommend it! The staff was very professional and adhered to FAA Rules and Regulations. The staff was very accommodating, recommending another time slot when weather conditions were better. The day of the tour we had near perfect flying conditions. The pilot for my tour was Sumadi (Sam) was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun to fly with. Saw so many parts of Acadia National Park/Mount Desert Island that you could never see from the ground. This is one of the best ways to see the beauty of Acadia National Park. I highly recommend this tour and company, and I will probably do it again next time I visit the area. You will definitely enjoy it!

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.

My husband and I went to Bar HArbor Maine for his 40th Birthday July 3rd. They are just so wonderful and easy to deal with. The plane and its contents are disinfected properly and the staff is amazingly nice. The pilot and copilot are from the CT shoreline and it made the trip so much more comfortable. They told us what we were looking at and made jokes. I felt safe comfortable my husband was like a kid he just loves flying.

This was a spur of the moment decision and we were fortunate they had an opening. Small outfit with wonderful, friendly people. Our pilot, Fletcher, was awesome - energetic, great sense of humor, pointed out geographic landmarks, explained the unique conditions that formed the island, and several points of interest. He is full of local stories and tidbits that we would not have discovered on our own. Friendly, accommodating, and well worth the price. If you have the means, I 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

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!

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!
