Ollie's Trolley in Bar Harbor

We will be sailing the Brilliance in October, and are interested in going to Acadia National Park while in Bar Harbor. Can someone please tell me how to get to where we would get the Trolley? Is it very far from where we tender into port? Can we walk? I was going to preorder the tickets since we will be there October 14 and am afraid of not getting on the first trolley. Thank you for the help.

Olie's has a ticket office in the building where the tender lets you off. The tour begins about a block and a half a way. Straight walk, no problem.

Thank you. Now I can preorder my tickets!

Yes you can order but you don't get tickets. You get a voucher you turn in at the ticket office to get tickets.

Have voucher now. Thank you...

Is this the best way to go? I really don't like crowded tours

We had a fun time on the tour. There will be other people on the trolley. Can't tell if any given trip will be completely full. If sharing the tour with other folks is not to your liking, maybe it's best to hire a private guide.

Thanks for the pics! It is so different than the usual Caribbean cruises we take. Just hoping for nice, fall weather(no rain). I can't wait!

Fog might be more of a problem than rain. Good luck.

hi, the trolley is a short walk from the dock. Head right when you arrive on the main street. You can buy tickets next to the trolley but with a ship load you might be better purchasing them now. This is a lovely trip...we did it last Sept. We'll be on the Brilliance Oct. 5th..and might just take the trolley again! The Park and all,the scenery is just beautiful. Enjoy!

Thanks...I did purchase the voucher for tickets, I am looking forward to that part of the trip. I was worried about rain, guess I should worry about fog! Oh well, it will still be a great trip!

Thank you for the information we are on the SOS Oct 2015 sailing and looked at the Trolley Tour. I copied your information and posted it on our Roll Call.:)

Ollie's Trolley in Bar Harbor is a fun thing to do .

Yes, it is. In fact, we did it on each of our 3 Canada/NE cruises!

I have booked it for my group for this October. 12th... we paid on line and printed out a voucher.... they have different times, we picked the 11am. Have had great reviews on it now just hoping for good weather

thank you so much for sharing these -- we are going in May -- enjoying doing our research now and photos are a huge help! :D

If you take the tour into Acadia Park, can you get off and explore the park and then get on another trolley or is this a closed tour from beginning to end?

Thanks,

Cole

Ollie's Trolly is a closed tour. Its not hop on hop off.

Enjoyed your pics! Our group of 6 is preparing for the Oct 8, 2015 Liberty of the Seas! Can't wait!

Other than a ship's tour, what would your suggestion be for a group who would like to explore the park and area? Rental cars are not an option in Bar Harbor.

What time of year are you going? During the summer, there is a shuttle that will bring you to the park.

I've done Ollie's Trolley. Its a nice tour and does stop at the main points in the park for a few minutes.

We will be in Bar Harbor during the month of September. We are wondering if the Island Explorer would be more to our liking since it appears to allow off and on at stops.

Probably, but after September 1st, they are on fall schedule, which limits the number of runs. I thought they listed the fall schedule on the website, but don't see it. Perhaps you'd do well to contact them directly.

My husband has limited mobility. If we have to walk very far he uses his wheelchair. Would this be a problem for the trolley?
