What You’ll See on the Deluxe Lighthouse Flight
If you want to go deeper than the island itself, this is your flight. The Deluxe Lighthouse tour gives you everything in the All Acadia flight plus takes you offshore to places most visitors never reach. Seven lighthouses in 50 minutes, each one with its own story and its own stretch of coastline. This is the flight for someone who wants more than a great view. They want to see it all.
On this flight you’ll see:
- The full perimeter of Mount Desert Island including Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain
- Three lighthouses along the island’s shoreline
- Schoodic Point to the east, with its dramatic granite headlands
- Baker Island and the Cranberry Islands to the south
- The Blue Hill area to the west
- Seven coastal lighthouses in total

What Passengers Say About the Deluxe Lighthouse Flight
John L. 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.
