"Oli’s Trolley has been taking visitors on unforgettable scenic journeys through Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor for over 20 years. "

Review: I love how Oli's Trolley not only offers an easy way to get to know the area quickly, but it's also affordable with very friendly staff. With fully narrated tours and vintage-style trolleys, it’s the perfect way to experience the rich history and stunning natural beauty of Mount Desert Island.
