One of the most convenient ways to get around Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island is on the Island Explorer shuttle bus system. With service departing from the Village Green just around the corner, the Island Explorer offers free, public transportation to many of the area’s most popular sites and attractions using low-emissions, propane-powered buses and can even transport your bike as well. This service is available from late June through Columbus Day, and is a great way to enjoy the area without the hassle of driving.
