Tour BHB-101 is the same as BHB-100 and uses the same transportation. Wheelchair confined guests must book tour BHB-101. Able bodied family members and friends must book BHB-100. You will travel together. Board the motorcoach and begin a leisurely 2.25-hour drive along the stunning coastline of Acadia for sweeping views of rugged shoreline, evergreen forests, and mountain summits. You'll travel down the Park's spectacular 27-mile Loop Road. Then your motorcoach will wind its way to the summit of the majestic Cadillac Mountain. At 1,532-foot tall, it's the highest point on the North American coast and at certain times of the year, it's the first place in the U.S. to see the sun rise. The summit offers awe-inspiring views of Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay, and the Cranberry Islands. Another scenic drive takes you back through Acadia, into Bar Harbor and to the pier.
