The Lulu is a traditional Downeast-style lobster boat. You get to experience the life of a lobster fisherman and take a look at the seals. They're used to lobster boats so they don't run away.
Run?
Well, whatever seals do. Swim? Flap?

You also get to see a bunch of privately owned islands in Frenchman Bay up close. A lot of beautiful Maine scenery from a very Maine-ish cool ride.

And while you're in Bar Harbor check out Ben and Bill's Chocolate Emporium for weird food. Uh, okay. Lobster is weird food? In MAINE?????? It is if it's in ice cream! Yep.

Monhegan Island is a small rocky island about 10 miles from the mainland. It is a center for fishing, a haven for artists, and a summer retreat for many people. There is a small village on the island, which is about 1.7 miles long by 0.7 miles wide, and most of it is undeveloped.
The only way to get to Monhegan Island is by boat. If you don't have your own boat, there are ferries and mailboats. The Laura B out of Port Clyde is the way to go for an authentic, Monhegan Island visit. She's been hauling passengers, freight and mail to the island for over 50 years. Reservations are advised, especially in the summer. Phone: 207-372-8848
