Summary: The island was beautiful and we found sone fun spots to explore in the trails. The ferry was probably the worst part with not knowing exactly how it worked even though we had tickets for the whole week. The part about needing reservations was not clear on the ferry site. Wesley was an amazing host. I spoke with him on the phone upon arrival and he kindly let me know where everything was. He even let us put two lobsters from the warf on his tab which was very generous. We got to cook our first lobsters! It was a beautiful location and we loved our stay. Only downside was we couldnt launch the kayaks nearby so we didnt use them. The warf wouldnt allow us to use their dock. We spent half our time at Acadia during the day and came back each evening, except for one day when we stayed on the island. Wonderful location to get away somewhere quiet.
