Maine’s cuisine revolves around the sea and the forest: fresh-caught lobster, clams, chowder and the famous wild blueberries. On this walking food tour of Bar Harbor you visit several independent spots with a guide who tells the town’s story between bites.
What you will taste
- A lobster roll or lobster in one of its classic preparations.
- New England clam chowder.
- Maine wild blueberry treats such as pie or jam.
- Local sweets and drinks, from craft ice cream to regional beer or cider.
Who it is for
Food lovers, couples and families. Portions are tasting size but together add up to a full meal. If you have allergies, especially to shellfish, tell us when booking so the route can be adapted.
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes: you walk about 1.5 km.
- A light jacket.
- An appetite.
Best time to go
June to September, when every venue is open. August is wild blueberry month and the season for soft-shell lobster, sweeter and more tender. Combine it with a day in Acadia National Park, or book it for your arrival evening before joining the boat on the mid-coast.
