Acadia and Bar Harbor are a green ecotourist destination! That’s right… if you are the environmentally conscious type — and many of us are these days, then an Acadia National Park vacation just might be the right choice for you. There are many examples of how “green” the area is these days…
- Bar Harbor hosted the first national conference on ecotourism in 2005.
- The Island Explorer shuttle bus line helps reduce traffic and pollution in the Park and surrounding areas by using clean, propane-powered buses.
- The College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor was the named greenest college in the US in 2007.
- Many restaurants in this area use locally grown produce, locally caught seafood, and organic foods.
- Recycling is big, even in public areas too.
So, as you can see… it’s a very green vacation destination! To learn more about vacationing in Acadia National Park, visit Discover-Acadia.com.

We’ve been adding a lot of new Bar Harbor dining reviews to our site lately. Come read about the burgers at Geddy’s, the pizza at Rosalie’s, and options for Mexican, Chinese and Thai food. You won’t believe what they have to say. Here are a couple of samples:
“This restaurant had a friendly and highly attentive staff. They welcome you in the doors and make you feel like you are part of their family. They seamlessly took our order and promptly brought us our food. It seemed we could have had 30 children and the staff could handle with no problem.”
AND…
“We asked at our B&B for a recommendation for an inexpensive unpretentious place to get lobster, and their recommendation was for Poor Boy’s Gourmet Restaurant, just a few minute walk from our B&B. I think this may be my favorite meal from this trip…”
For a small town, it’s quite incredible the number of options for both fine dining and casual dining that Bar Harbor offers. They really run the gamut for every dining choice you can imagine. All within a few square blocks!
If fine dining is what you’re after, we’ve assembled quite a list of those reviews as well:
I’m actually looking forward to going back to Acadia again, partly just so I can try all these great restaurants! Also, if you’re reading this and you’ve been to Acadia, we’d love to add even more restaurant reviews to our site. Can you help us?
