This operation has built an excellent reputation through consistently great service and well-maintained equipment. The e-bikes get particular praise for their reliability and long battery life, with multiple reviewers mentioning they easily handled full half-day rentals through Acadia's carriage roads. The staff, especially Kyle, earns frequent mentions for being helpful and knowledgeable, offering solid route recommendations and clear instructions that make first-timers feel confident. Their downtown Bar Harbor location offers convenient parking near the fire station. The paddle boarding tours are equally impressive, with guides like Mike and Chris standing out for their teaching abilities and deep knowledge of the area's natural history. These guides seem to have a real talent for adapting to different skill levels and making nervous beginners feel comfortable on the water. Pricing is competitive compared to other local options, and the whole operation runs efficiently with quick check-in and return processes. Several visitors returned for second rentals during their trip, which says plenty about the experience they deliver.
