Yes! I liked Bar Harbor too.
The whale watch ship (very big boat) was great. We saw many whales, seals, and dolphins. It’s a crapshoot, but we were very lucky.
Cadillac Mountain.
BAR HARBOR IS AWESOME.
At the back end of Bar Harbor is/was a campground. It has a kayak rental.
If you time it right, the tide will pull you out towards the sea and then help you get back to the dock. Don’t underestimate the power of the tide.
It was a great experience. I treasure that memory.
I camped across New England that summer (of ‘99) and ate lobster warmed over the camp fire until I was sick of lobster.
I also camped in Kennebunkport. It was a real crummy campground, surrounded by million dollar homes.
Anyway, Bar Harbor war awesome.
