Why now
At $710 per person, this fare is $59 below the typical fare on this route. That's 8% under the $769 median of our 9 earlier checks. Across 12 offers we saw fares from $710 to $838, and the low point in the past 30 days was $663 on Oct 13, so this is a solid price but not a rare one. Prices are all-in as found and can change. The timing is the other draw. Fall foliage peaks in mid-October and the season ends at month's end, so this is one of the last weekends of the year here. The forecast is cold and gray, with highs of 39–49°F and low rain chances. The catch is the routing: 2 stops, a 7:00 AM Friday start and a Saturday landing in Bangor. It works best as a short, brisk nature getaway with layers and a lobster dinner.
The kind of trip this is
This is a cold-weather nature weekend: rocky Atlantic shoreline, granite summits, carriage roads and lobster shacks on Mount Desert Island. It suits a couple or two friends who like hiking in layers and a warm dinner afterward. The pace is quick, since your time on the ground runs from Saturday morning to Sunday evening. Pick one trail, one scenic drive and one good meal, and let the rest go.

Where to stay in Bar Harbor & Acadia
All three picks are in Bar Harbor. Belle Isle Motel is the best value at $358 for the stay ($179 a night). That gets you a King Room with breakfast and a 7.5 rating from 609 reviews, but no free cancellation. Acadia Inn is the top rated at 9.4 from 1,246 reviews: $674 for the 2 nights ($337 a night), with breakfast and free cancellation. Acadia Pines Motel is the budget pick at $345 ($173 a night), room only, rated 6.9 from 338 reviews, with free cancellation. Bar Harbor village puts you steps from the Shore Path and the Island Explorer buses. Bar Harbor outskirts (Route 3) is where oceanfront motels run cheaper. Heads-up: these rates cover Oct 23–25, but the outbound flight lands Saturday, so you won't use the Friday night.

No. It's a domestic trip, the currency is the US dollar and Bar Harbor is on the same time as Fort Myers.
