Island ExperienceSet out on an unforgettable full-day Island Experience Kayak Tour and discover the breathtaking coastline of Port Mouton Bay.
Your adventure begins as we paddle across the ocean, weaving our way past seabird colonies, playful seals, and the rugged shoreline of Spectacle Island. Along the way, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of Nova Scotia’s most stunning white-sand beaches — including the iconic Carter’s Beach, famous for its turquoise shallows and soft, powdery sand. As we make our way toward Port Mouton Island, the scenery only gets better. Once ashore, you’ll enjoy a delicious, locally prepared lunch. Afterward, take time to explore the island’s wild beauty — stroll its beaches, wander through the coastal landscape, or simply relax and soak in the peace and quiet that only a remote island can offer. Perfect for paddlers looking for a full-day coastal adventure, this tour blends wildlife viewing, scenic paddling, island exploration, and a taste of Nova Scotia’s coastal culture. A day on the water, an island to explore, and memories you’ll carry long after the tide goes out. Duration: 5-6 hrs Price: $150 Reservation and waiver is required.

Autumn on the Water Kayak TourCelebrate the colours of the season on our Autumn on the Water — kayak tour that blends vibrant scenery, calm-water paddling, and the stories that shaped the historic Mersey River.
As autumn settles over the South Shore, the river transforms into a corridor of glowing reds, golds, and fiery oranges. You’ll drift beneath overhanging branches as they mirror their colours on the water, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for a relaxed and refreshing paddle. Along the way, your guide will share the myths, legends, and privateering tales rooted in this storied region. From whispers of old river routes to the ones who once navigated these waters, the Mersey’s past comes alive in the crisp fall air. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or brand new to kayaking, this easygoing tour offers the perfect mix of nature, storytelling, and peaceful exploration. Wildlife is often active this time of year, and you may spot eagles, geese, ducks, and other river residents preparing for the colder months ahead. It’s the ultimate autumn outing — calm water, colourful scenery, and the magic of Nova Scotia’s fall season, all from the best seat in the house: your kayak. Duration: 3 hrs Price: $80 Pre-registration is required Completed waiver required Limited time and limited spaces! Offered twice in September with 6 spots each tour!
