What an amazing tour! Devon was fantastic. While he’s only been in Maine for a few months, you would think he grew up there given his knowledge and expertise of the history, botany and geology of Acadia. So impressive. He also has a degree in marine biology which came in handy as he showed us some sea creatures in a tide pool near thunder hole. We even tried some “sea truffles” which were surprisingly tasty. Devon took us to some of the hot spots, but also to some lesser known hiking and picnic spots on the quiet side of the park which was our favorite part of the day. Most importantly he was very kind, accommodating, easy to speak with, and open and ready to answer our many questions. We would highly recommend this trip to others! It was so wonderful!Paul_D
