Named Business of the Year by the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce!

"Jim was our tour guide. He was funny and experienced. I'm expected the tour company should included the tipping of his excellent services because we're paying $10.00 more per person on-line compared if I purchase right at the tour location on the same day we arrived."

"Took the 2 hour tour on a Friday afternoon. Our guide/driver was very good and knowledgeable regarding the park. Was able to answer our questions and keep the presentation lively. Would certainly recommend this tour company. Ticketing was easy. Good value for the price of the tour."

"Fred was great.. very knowledgeable he had information for the entire 4hrs tour. only issue was the fog that blocked the view from Cadillac Mtn. 30 min stop at 4 locations provided time to view and even get popover at Jordan Pond."

"Great tour which I would highly recommend! Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and it was fun to hear all the background history and stories about the park. Trip was perfectly timed and the stops were amazing."

Welcome to Portland Maine

Portland Discovery offers you the opportunity to learn about the city of Portland, or Casco Bay, or both! You can see the famous Portland Head Light on our open air trolleys or explore the island studded waters of Casco Bay on one of our classic tour boats. We are located in the heart of Portland’s quaint Old Port shopping district where you’ll want to spend time enjoying the historic cobble stone streets, beautiful architecture and meeting friendly locals who will make this a day to remember.

Cruise ships can dock in two locations in Portland. One is the Portland Ocean Terminal at Maine State Pier, and the other is the Ocean Gateway Terminal.

If you need assistance getting to our location, there are taxi companies and ride share services in the city that you can reach out to for transport.

Had a spectacular tour!

Our operators (thanks Bill!) were refreshingly knowledgeable and did a great job conveying the history and sights of Portland. Walking away with a wealth of new knowledge.

Highly recommend!

Do the sunset tour! We had a wonderful time touring the bay and learning about Portland. Saw some wildlife, lighthouses, and awesome sunset colors. The boat experience itself was calm and enjoyable.

Great experience!

Had a great experience with these guys and gals! They provided a wonderful Lighthouse Sunset Tour. It was so enjoyable for our whole family. We will do this again the next time we are in Portland!

Definitely worth it!

Well executed tour that shows you most of the areas attractions and tells you about the history and how people live here. No motion sickness. They sell have a bar and sell basic snacks.

Fantastic tour guide!

So knowledgeable and the history of Portland and all the views were amazing. We are glad we came in early may right before the busy season because to tour was small and intimate. A must do activity while visiting!
