TESTIMONIALS

No top ten list would be complete without Sojourn's Maine bike tour in Acadia National Park - our nation's smallest, and perhaps most scenic, National Park. Stunning views abound along dramatic coastal routes and automobile-free carriage roads that wind through spruce forest and past the pristine lakes of Maine's most beautiful island.

Enjoy an ocean view room with your own private porch just a stone's throw from the water and, unpack your bags just once during your vacation. The central location of your spacious oceanfront lodging is the perfect base for your active vacation.
Not only will you be treated to exceptional cycling routes, you will enjoy a guided hike featuring incredible vistas, a sea kayak tour where you will have the opportunity to see seals and porpoise, and a sail on a classic Maine Windjammer. take part in all of these activities without ever having to move from the comfort of your oceanfront inn.

Captivating coastal routes provide stunning views of the outer islands and surf-sculpted coastline throughout our Maine bike tour. Enjoy a cruise to Schoodic Peninsula to cycle through classic fishing villages nestled in rocky coves, and past bold oceanfront marked by stately lighthouses. Set sail on a Maine Windjammer from the dock of the inn for a truly unique and memorable experience. Toast the day's adventures as the sun sets over the bay and islands.

Harbor seal encounters are likely when you take to the water under your own power during a guided sea kayak tour. Paddling these sturdy craft in sheltered waters surrounding the island is a fabulous way to gain a different perspective of the Maine coast. Enjoy a favorite local hike along a granite-lined trail. Panoramic views extend over the bays and islands from the exposed summit.

Bike through Northeast Harbor and past dozens of summer "cottages" lining tree-canopied streets overlooking the sea. The town is a favored summer retreat for generations of wealthy New Englanders. Cycle along the fjord-like Somes Sound during a ride along its shores to the charming village of Somesville. Stop for a cold one at the Atlantic Brewing Company on the way back to town.

Adventurous souls can opt to challenge themselves by biking up Cadillac Mountain - the highest point on the eastern seaboard - and a climb recently named by Bicycling Magazine as one of the top 100 in America.

The diverse scenery and natural beauty of the Maine coast will transfix you at every turn. One of our veteran leaders calls this our most scenic tour. Join us for an Acadia sojourn that will leave this timeless wonder etched forever in your mind.

"The scenery was far more breathtaking than I even imagined. There were gorgeous views everywhere. Add to this, the Bar Harbor Inn -- one of the most spectacular hotel locations in the world. If there's more natural beauty somewhere in America, I hope Sojourn creates a tour there and invites me along."

Dennis Globus

"The trip greatly exceeded my expectations – an ocean-front room at the nicest inn at Bar Harbor, fantastic tour leaders, and the Carriage Roads were even more beautiful than I imagined. It’s a luxury tour – everything was taken care of. A great holiday!”
