Whether you are planning a board meeting, incentive trip, small convention, or executive retreat, Bar Harbor offers a wide variety of choices. Winter and spring offer special glimpses into island life, with winter's white blanket of fresh snow clinging to the trees, and ice insulated granite cliffs, to the spring awakening of the many flowers, trees, birds, and animals. Winter activities include cross-country skiing and curling up by the fire watching the waves and the snow. Spring and Summer bring a wakening of the seasonal businesses along with whale watching, bird watching, hiking, biking, and carriage rides on the more than 50 miles of trails in the park. Your attendees and guests can learn more about the area on a narrated tour through the park, or tour a wild garden, a brewery or a museum. Golf is available at the eighth oldest and one of the most beautiful courses in America. Bar Harbor is also fortunate to be the home of two music festivals, and our own town band. The cool crisp air of Fall brings the red, orange and yellow leaves that New England is famous for. Enjoy lobster and fall colors while overlooking deep blue waters from our island. All year round, Bar Harbor offers great hospitality, and is an inspiring meeting place for your attendees and more beautiful than you can imagine. Come see for yourself. It's worth the trip.

With more than 3,000 rooms in over 90 lodging facilities and more than 50 restaurants, we have a lot to offer you. Please go to the Guidebook page to order a copy of the 2008 Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce Guidebook.
