Review:

Great Cranberry Island can be reached by boat in around 30 minutes from Mount Desert Island and offers visitors a relaxing area for walking, cycling, and other island pursuits like beach-combing, tidal-pooling, canoeing, kayaking and motorized boating. The best way to explore Great Cranberry Island is by bicycle or on foot – there is a downloadable walking tour map – and you also have the option of using the (free) Cranberry Explorer Shuttle. You can have lunch at Hitty’s Café, and visit the Cranberry House Historical Museum. Although there are no lodgings on the island, there are some rental properties you can hire if you fancy a longer stay.
