Somes Sound Tours

A calm lake with a pine tree on the right and a hilly landscape in the background.
A winding road with a yellow centerline, surrounded by dense greenery and stone walls.
Wander by the water's edge and breathe some fresh air at Somes Sound. It's always relaxing watching the boats as they come and go.

This place for ships to anchor in Mount Desert is well-liked by travelers, so be sure to put it on your travel plans. However, don't end your sightseeing there. There are loads more options waiting for you to experience after Somes Sound. Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain, and Otter Cliff are not far away.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (242 reviews)
Gail was informative when we arrived. Grounds need a bit of attention. Attention needs to made as to dusting of room furniture, floors and windowsill. Tasty breakfasts. Call to find out the details of your room. We were in Julie’s room on second floor with just a door separating us from another adjoining room. We could hear voices and their snoring kept me up all night.
