What You’ll See on the Deluxe Fall Foliage Flight
This is the flight for someone who doesn’t want to choose between the coast and the color. You’ll get the full perimeter of Mount Desert Island, the same stunning coastline as the All Acadia flight, and then head inland where the mountains, lakes, and fields are at their most spectacular in September and October. Two completely different landscapes in one flight. If you only have one chance to see fall in Acadia from the air, this is the one to take.
On this flight you’ll see:
- The full perimeter of Mount Desert Island including Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain
- Three historic lighthouses along the island’s coastline
- Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Bass Harbor
- Frenchman Bay as you cross toward the inland route
- Tunk Mountain and the surrounding peaks in peak fall color
- Lakes, fields, and forests blanketed in red, orange, and gold

What Passengers Say About the Deluxe Fall Foliage Flight
Nicholas D. 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.
