On the Trolley, you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking sights of Ogunquit. In the summer of 1981 Molly Corp started the Trolley Route and ran 4 Trolleys through the streets of Ogunquit. Now we run 8 Trolleys and also do Trolley rentals for your special event. In 1923, the magnificent Marginal Way was given as a gift to the Town of Ogunquit by Josiah Chase of York.
It is now a paved footpath beginning (or ending) in a corner of Oarweed Cove near the harbor, then running for 1 miles to the marvelous expanse of Ogunquit Beach. Your Wedding day will be one of the most memorable and exciting day of your life! Our Wedding parties appreciate both the festive air that the Trolley brings to a Wedding and the wonderful personalities of our drivers who assist the Bridal Company Party and guests.

Most people are surprised when they learn that Ogunquit is one of Maine's newest towns. In 1913, Ogunquit was established as a village corporation within the Town of Wells. The corporation was established as a quasi-municipal government after a dispute between Ogunquit and Wells citizens over whether or not to install streetlights in Ogunquit.
Your Wedding day will be one of the most memorable and exciting of your life and we, at Ogunquit Trolley would like to be part of it! We transport the group to different locations for Wedding photographs then proceed with the Wedding Party to the reception site. Other clients have the Trolley pick up the groomsmen before the Wedding and transport them to the Church then go to a second location for the bride and bridesmaid.
On the Trolley, you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking sights that Ogunquit has to offer. Enjoy the Marginal Way, a mile and a half long foot path that follows the shoreline south of the center of the village This walk is spectacular! And at the end of the Marginal Way is Perkins Cove, a quaint little harbor, that has been home to artists around the world nearly 100 years.

Today is Saturday, September 21, 2019. It is our 39th wedding Anniversary and we wanted to take the Trolley to Marginal way for our first time ever. As we walked across the crosswalk in front of the Mariner Hotel we noticed a quite upset elderly couple that we had just seen board leaving the trolley. We incorrectly assumed they didn't have the cash or were confused as to where the trolley would take them. I and my husband began to board. I have a disability and I takes me some time to climb steps. The driver waited until I was all the way up the steps before screaming at me, "THE

While on vacation, our daughter really wanted to try riding the trolley. Our misunderstanding was that the trolleys that services the Ogunquit area are NOT for tourism. They are very congested and obvious that they are a means of public transportation for the locals. Not a problem, but they get VERY congested. Exceptionally so on days like ours when there where only 2 trolleys in operation that day (per the first driver when he had to turn people away). They definitely work as a public transportation, but be aware if your a tourist looking to leisurely see the town, you may not get a seat. The

We thought this would be a simple affordable option for getting around town without a car. Wow were we wrong. Only take this trolley if you care to waste so much of your day waiting for it. It is ridiculous to have to wait 45 minutes minimum for a trolley on a busy Saturday in July. That's the middle of peak tourist season! No wonder this system isn't utilized by those who know better.

No.No.No! Worst experience ever trying to contract with Ogunquit Trolley for transportation for my wedding. Kathy, the lady who is charge of contracting, is rude and unprofessional. I've been trying for 3 months to get an accurate contract. She will tell you to email her and then she never responds. When you call to inquire about the email she tells you she responds in the order her emails are received, but then says she doesn't have your email address even though she said she received your email? Extremely disorganized and unpleasant to even speak with. Save yourself the stress leading

Oh god I could go all day about this nightmare and I would give them a zero star rate if it was an option . Private functions (weddings ) run away. This company is impossible to work with, can't take a simple email with a detailed schedule and put it into a quote ? Doesn't return phone calls , emails and when you catch them at office they say they don't have correct email address ? Umm hit reply?anyway be forewarned !

The trolley is awesome in theory, but we had a horrible experience. We were trying to get back to our hotel from downtown/mainstreet, which is only 2 stops, just a couple minutes drive. Our 4 year old had been walking a lot and her legs could use a break, so we decided to take the trolley instead of the 10 minute walk. When we got on, we told the driver what stop we wanted, and he said no problem.
Unfortunately, he was too deaf to hear us yelling for him to stop when he missed our stop and blew right past. When I went up front to speak to him, he said, Oh yeah, I forgot. And then refused to

This is the way to go to get to and from Perkins Cove if you don't want to drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic and then pay $20-$25 to park in a lot in or near the Cove. We picked up the trolley at a stop about a half block away and across the street from the Ocean Acres Motel, where we stayed. The fare is $2.00 per person per ride (well worth it), and the trolleys run about every 15 to 20 minutes, up until 10 p.m., we were told by the manager of our motel.
Although the ride itself was pleasant enough (and we had gorgeous weather), the driver we had to Perkins Cove, an elderly gentleman

We rented the trolley to shuttle our guests to our beach wedding ceremony. The driver was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely the most reasonably priced trolley company in the area, as well as an authentic way to transport guests. The company was very professional and organized. When the ceremony finished ahead of time, the trolley conductor even let us stay on the trolley and take pictures!!

I have used the trolley before when traveling to Olgunquit. Was very disappointed this trip however. Although clean, two dollars a trip for adults and $1.50 children it is not at all dependable. We had been traveling to Perkins Cove for a sailing trip and warned to leave in plenty of time. We had no trouble getting to Perkins Cove but getting back was a challenge. We were staying in a motel near Wells. On the way back, we had walked Marginal Way expecting to be able to pick up the trolley in the center of Olgunquit. After waiting for 45 minutes and not seeing a trolley that was going northbound

The trolley is very convenient but you should plan on waiting a while for it to show up. Each way is $2 a person which gets pricy for our family of 4. Also, why does it stop at the beach and Perkins cove for like 25 minutes? If there's no one there, then drive away! FYI: they don't give change so make sure you have lots of $1 bills.

The intentions of this review are to offer some tips which may help improve your trolley experience. I love the idea of this fun and convenient transportation option, but our trolley excursion this weekend was somewhat disappointing. I am, however, willing to give the service another chance now that I have become more educated on the trolley do's and don'ts.
1. Be sure to plan accordingly so you won't be waiting long at the trolley stop.
2. Have cash on hand and exact fare as drivers cannot make change.
3. Avoid trolleys on busy weekends if you are the least bit claustrophobic

I love these trolleys - Molly, Lolly, Polly, Holly, Rowley, Jolly, Wally, (who did I miss) - you have to use them. They are so much fun ... but only when there is non traffic overload. I usually pick it up in town heading toward the beach, loop around and go South to Perkins and back around to town (going North is not as much fun 'cause of the traffic). Be forewarned - have correct change, you will be given tokens back as change if you don't.
You can even rent these suckers for special events - I have seen wedding parties (FUN!)

Cute overload!
Ogunquit is tiny. I mean, really small. The "downtown" area consists of just a few blocks, while the entire shopping/ restaurant/ touristy area is only a couple of miles. The trolley is the perfect way to get around Ogunquit and see it all without a car.
This quaint, old time trolley will take you all the way to the North of the town, and all the way South to Perkins Cove, stopping at all of the main restaurants and hotels along the way. It also stops at the beach and lingers for long enough to fill up. Once you're on, sit back and enjoy the scenic ride and the wind
