Review:
Great Duck Island, together with Little Duck Island, is located in the Gulf of Maine and forms part of the town of Frenchboro on the coast of Maine. Great Duck Island is a marine bird sanctuary owned by the Nature Conservancy and is not generally open to the public. If you would like to see Great Duck Island, you have limited choices – Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co. offers a Lighthouse and National Park Tour in summer, which includes Great Duck Island. Alternatively, you could rent the entire island and spend a week of perfect solitude in the one and only vacation rental on the island. You would then have the freedom to explore the beaches, coves, bird sanctuary, and lighthouse – a water-taxi transfer from Frenchboro will be arranged for visitors renting the property.
