Bangor ME to Bar Harbor ME

There are several ways to get to Bar Harbor from Bangor. As we learn more about who and when people are arriving and leaving from Bangor, we will try to arrange cabs, shuttles or have someone rent a car and drive to Bar Harbor and back. The laboratory also gets a special rate on the hotel at the airport in Bangor. If you are arriving on a late flight on Monday, there is an option to stay in Bangor on Monday night and come to Bar Harbor Tuesday morning. To get the special rate, we will have to book these rooms in advance.

Please indicate if you would like to stay at HighSeas. If so, please indicate in the table below if you would be willing to share a room and if you have a room-mate.
