Fall Foliage

We will be cruising New England the first week of October with stops in Bar Harbor, Portland, Halifax & St. John. My wife wants to know if we will get to see fall foliage with the available excursions for these ports.

for Bar Harbor, here is no need to book a CL excursion. There are 2 excellent rated (by TripAdvisor) tour companies that offer tours of Acadia National Park.

• Oli's Trolley
  
• Acadia National Park Tours
  

Since you'll be visiting BH at a very popular time for foliage viewing, it would be a good idea to make reservations for the tour of your choice.

I sure hope that Acadia National Park provides enough fall foliage scenery for my wife!!

It really varies year by year.

There are sites online that keep track of such things as the fall progresses and the peak foliage season passes from north to further south.

Peak foliage time each year is dependent on the summer weather...such as how much rain fell, as well as whether there was an early frost or dry spell. Generally, Columbus weekend is a good time.

I'm a born and bred New Englander and couldn't have said it better myself.

I have gone 2x later then you did and it was early for fall foliage in a lot of the areas.

You can track the areas for past years.
