Whether you want to relive a previous visit to Acadia, or you've never been to the park and want to get an idea of what it's like, a virtual tour is the way to go. Virtual tours offer a taste of the wonders of Acadia—the sounds of birds calling and waves crashing along rocky shores, the sights of pink-hued granite mountains at sunrise and seals basking on ledges. 

You control your experience within our virtual tours, choosing from 360-degree panoramas, videos, pictures, and sounds. All these options come with a price, however—large file size. High-speed Internet access is recommended for viewing the full version of our virtual tours, which may take some time to download. You will also need to have two free plug-ins installed on your computer—QuickTime and Flash Player. Dial-up versions of virtual tours are designed for anyone with a slower (dial-up) connection.

We hope you enjoy your virtual visit to Acadia National Park. Please contact us if you have any problems or comments about virtual tours of the park.

Acadia eCruise
Set sail on an eCruise along the rocky shores of Mount Desert Island, which hosts the largest portion of Acadia National Park. You'll visit offshore islands, explore a museum and a cemetery, hear the sounds of the sea and wildlife, and see spectacular scenery. If you enjoy this eCruise and plan to visit the park, be sure to check out the park ranger-narrated boat cruises offered from May to October.
