"I did the night safari to get a chance to see Acadia / Bar Harbor at night and learn some photography techniques for night shooting. This tour exceeded my expectations, the guide Howie was amazing. He was able to lend me a tripod when mine broke. He was also able to teach me about some of the settings for my camera that I wasn't familiar/comfortable with. We also learned about shooting at various times as the sun sets. I am not a beginner, but I am still pretty new to photography and found that I wasn't over my head on this tour. I will definitely take a day tour if I return to Acadia." – Matt C.


"I had a great time learning about night photography from Howie. We had a group of beginner and advanced photographers and we were all able to learn something. I consider myself advanced and left with a wealth of knowledge that I will put to immediate use and now have an new found curiosity for the art and science of star photography." – Paul
