Planning a Vacation in Maine: Lighthouse Tours

Are you planning a vacation on the coast of Maine? How about taking a lighthouse tour? Lighthouse tours are fun and historical and filled with beautiful scenery. There are several tours in Maine to choose from but none as breath taking as an aerial view of these gorgeous lighthouses.

Scenic Flights of Acadia offers three options to view the local Maine scenery and lighthouses. These packages include: A Deluxe Lighthouse Tour, Penobscot Bay Lighthouse Tour and Custom Tours that you can tailor to meet your viewing needs. This is a great way to experience Maine’s lighthouse history from an aerial view.

A Deluxe Lighthouse Tour offers a flight over seven of Down East Maine's historic lighthouses, Winter Harbor (1856), Prospect Harbor (1850), Egg Rock (1875), Baker Island (1828), Bear Island (1839), Bass Harbor Head (1858), and the Blue Hill Bay Light (1857). In addition to the lighthouses, you will see Acadia National Park and the many islands as described in the All Acadia tour above, and the rockbound coast that makes our area so special.

The Penobscot Bay Lighthouse Tour consists of viewing the natural beauty of the Maine coast while viewing some of Maine's best Lighthouses, shoreline, and islands. This very picturesque tour brings you by twelve lighthouses as well as Fort Knox and the new Penobscot Narrows Bridge connecting Prospect and Verona. This tour is a must-see for lighthouse enthusiasts as well as folks wanting to view the Maine Coast and Islands as only seen from the unique view from an airplane.
