If your in the area as a storm is moving in with heavy winds, that is by far the best time tot catch a show you will not soon forget, the rougher the conditions of the water the more active Thunder Hole is. A good storm moving up the coast will produce waves so large the Park Service will most likely shut down the observation deck due to the fact that huge waves will most likely be sweeping over the deck, at the point the safest spot to watch the action is from the roadside above.
Thunder Hole is along the One Way section of the Park Loop Road, beyond the Fee Station and Sand Beach. On a hot summer day Thunder Hole can become over crowded with people and traffic. To reach Thunder Hole on the free Island Explorer buses, from Main Street at the Bar Harbor Village Green, hop on the Sand Beach bus - Thunder Hole is a regular bus stop.
