Book this adventure

Our two day kayak adventure begins at Spicer's Cove at the northern entrance to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. At an upcoming tide we can sit in our kayaks and just wait for the water to float us. It will be your first of many unique Fundy moments on this adventure.

We go on to discover a magnificent and colorful coastline as we paddle towards the legendary Three Sisters rock formation, checking out the most interesting caves, arches and rock spires as we go - not to mention the elevated beach at Squally Point. After the glaciers retreated 11.000 years ago the land has slowly rebounded 35 meters above todays sea level!

We will explore the Three Sisters either from our kayaks or on foot depending on the tide, then it's on to the historic lumber and ship building site, Eatonville Harbour, which will be our first rest stop for a delicious lunch with local produce and hearty home baked delights.

Back in the kayaks we will paddle further down along the rugged and pristine coastline towards Seal Cove, our beach campsite for the night. Relax on the beach or go for a short hike along the parks coastal trail that offers magnificent views from the top of the escarpment. A little stream gives the option of cleaning off the saltwater while we set up camp and prepare a gourmet supper including a delicious dessert and wine.

You might wake up in the morning to strange sounds you have never heard before. It's the Grey Seals bellowing from coves nearby. After a hearty breakfast we are ready to go see the seals resting on rocks in family groups, watched by the enormous males. We keep a fair distance to the wildlife, but still we get a wonderful sensation of being part of something bigger than us.

On our way back to Spicer's Cove we will enjoy another delicious lunch on a secluded beach. Going back the same way is not like driving on the same stretch of road; with a tidal difference of up to 12 meters you will be amazed how that changes the appearance of the coastline.

Michael and I had a wonderful adventure kayaking with you. The scenery speaks for itself, but your tour operation is very professional. I felt safe and relaxed. Your picnic lunch was top notch. Keep up your good work and I will recommend you to all my friends.

The highest tides in the world makes the Bay of Fundy the ultimate sea kayaking experience. We will explore the spectacular shoreline of Cape Chignecto Park where the tidal action has carved dramatic cliffs, sea stacks and caves ideal for exploring by kayak.

This area is rich in wildlife and geological and human history.  Add to that beautifully colored and ever changing beaches and the highest cliff escarpments in mainland Nova Scotia and you will truly feel the privilege of discovering this unique environment.

Your experienced guide will safely accompany you from Red Rocks to Spicer’s Cove, rounding Cape Chignecto. In total it's a 33 km paddle that leaves plenty of time to explore the coastline at a leisurely pace and take all the photos you want. This adventure will make you forget about stress and busy schedules. It's a refreshing experience for body and soul. 

You will camp at pristine sites where we will prepare tasty meals with a focus on local and organic foods. Wine and delicious desserts makes supper time a great part of your adventure. At the end of the day you can take a stroll on the coastal trail or go beach combing. In the evening the setting sun, a cry of a Loon and the company of newfound friends will round off the day.
