About Scenic Flights of Acadia

Owners Dennis Ouimette and David and Vicki Vroom met in 1979 while working at Scenic Flights of Acadia (then operated by Bar Harbor Airlines). David and Vicki married a few years later. After raising three boys, they came back to the Bar Harbor Airport. Along with their son Erik, the Vrooms have operated Scenic Flights of Acadia since 2006. It is a true “Maine Vacation Tradition for Generations”!

Since the 1950s, we have been flying from the same location at the Bar Harbor Airport. No other business can make this claim! For years, our business’s priority has been to provide a safe, personal experience that is a vacation highlight for our customers.

All of our pilots are knowledgeable of the area and will provide a personal tour for you. The Pilots are Instrument Rated Commercial Pilots, with thousands of flight hours, making them more experienced than you will find elsewhere. We all love what we do and are good at it! Maine Coastal Flight, which operates Scenic Flights of Acadia, is a Maine company. We live here all year, work here and play here.

Getting to see Acadia from the sky was such a treat! They have their system down: very smooth booking service through their website, parking right by the main road, easy and fast check-in upon arrival, get on the plane a few minutes later, and off you go. Staff was very pleasant through phone and in-person interactions, helpful with my guest limited mobility… And of course, the flight was great with amazing views of the park and surroundings; the weather wasn’t too shabby either… A 5-star operation all around, definitely recommend joining for a tour if you are fortunate enough to be able to afford it.

We took the Schoodic Point Flight on a beautiful clear morning. Our Pilot was very thorough in prepping us for the flight. The headsets made for a very convenient way of communicating and needing to talk over the plane’s engine. The pilot was very engaging and pointed out points of interest. We were satisfied with our choice of the shorter flight, having been to the area several times and having some familiarity with the topography. If you are a first time, you may want to opt for the All-Acadia flight. Either way, I’m pretty sure, it will be one of the most scenic flight experiences you will ever take.

The folks at Scenic Flights were wonderful from our first call seeking reservations, their follow up in between, and our arrival at their office. The plane was clean as a whistle and ready to go when we arrived, the pilot, a consummate professional with great knowledge of the area. He provided a nice narrative of what we were seeing while not being overwhelming with talking. We have done flightseeing trips all over the world, the Acadia operation is top notch, hence they have been around for decades.

Fabulous experience in a 5-passenger seat plane. Awesome views of Mount Desert Island. Our pilot was the best! Highly recommend him and the organization. All staff were wonderful, helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions, as internet service was spotty. Definitely worth a trip! We took the All-Acadia trip.

My wife and I did this as a splurge event on our trip. We flew around Mount Desert Island and enjoyed the views. The weather was great that day and the ride was smooth.
