Great food, good equipment and excellent guide. The trip was at a leisurely pace but fun and with beautiful scenery.

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight kayak trip to Seal Cove! Our guide, Kurtis, was friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. The scenery was gorgeous, the food was wonderful, and all gear provided was in good condition! Thanks for such a great experience.

I have done many guided sea kayaking trips and Nova Shores knows how to do it right. Nova Shores provides participants with a lot of extra gear that most places do not. This is extremely helpful if you are traveling because it cuts down on what you have to bring, but it is also helpful if this is your first time kayaking. The boots that they provide are great and I highly recommend them. While you do not have to step into the water a lot, they will keep you feet warm if they get wet. They also have some jackets and gloves depending on what time of year you go out. The kayaks and paddles were all in good repair, and I saw all the safety equipment I would expect to see with a trip of this nature. Our guide Liam was very kind and funny. He added to the quality of the trip because of his knowledge of the geology and local tribal lore about the Bay of Fundy. Liam also provided good instruction about kayaking and made sure that the group was safe and successful. Now the location is what makes this trip amazing. We went on the high tide paddle which I would highly recommend. When we paddled out, you were able to paddle amongst the rocks of the three sisters, go into natural coves and amphitheaters and even two sea caves. It was great fun to be able to paddle through the arch at high tide as well. At the "midway" you make it to a beach where you are able to get out and we enjoyed a bowl of chili and some great snacks. While you are on the beach the tides turn and start flowing out so as you head back you see the speed at which the tides flow out of the Bay of Fundy. Areas that you previously kayaked through are now unaccessible because of the change of water height, so you see it through a whole new lens. The tidal change actually gives you a push back to where you put in, so the paddling is even easier on the way back in. The scenery here is unbelievable and we saw a bald eagle soaring overhead on our trip. Nova Shores puts together a great adventure.and I would return to take one of their longer trips as well. Thank you to the Nova Shores team for making our trip to Advocate Harbor special.

This tour not only is beyond amazing by the kayaking itself, but our guide also explained the history and culture of the Bay of Fundy. This tour is friendly for all ages, among us was this vibrant 90 years young lady. You meet amazing people and see amazing sites.

We had a fantastic outing with James as our guide. I would highly recommend making the trek to Advocate Harbor to kayak in the Bay of Fundy. The weather was beautiful, the scenery is amazing and we got to stop for a delicious lunch on the red pebble beach sitting on driftwood logs. Great equipment, super nice people who run NovaShores and a very special part of the world. Try this!

Safety conscious and experienced guides with a sense of humor. Two seat sea kayaks skirted and ruddered. An excellent way to experience the natural beauty. Our guide provided both human and geological history. Great value for our tourist dollars

Attended with my 13 year old son. It was our first time in a sea kayak. They were very stable. It was a great way to see the area, as well as the tides. The guides prepared a great snack that we stopped to eat part way through.

The weather did not cooperate for us on our overnight trip. It wasn't supposed to start raining until late afternoon so we all thought we'd have the day to enjoy kayaking and setting up our gear before it came. Unfortunately, the rain started pretty soon after we hit the water and kept up until later that evening. BUT, Dawson was an incredible guide and he did everything he could to make the trip as good as it could be under the circumstances. The views and the food were also amazing and although we didn't get the weather we hoped for, we certainly made memories that we will remember for a lifetime.

We found the trip delightful. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. The scenery spectacular and the camp food tasty and abundant. Would highly recommend.

Everything about this tour was top notch! Nova Shores looked after every last detail to perfection. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgable (particularly about the history, mythology and geology of the area), extremely warm and personable. The company provided everything we needed to make the kayaking comfortable and enjoyable, including providing instructions for beginner kayakers, so that everyone felt comfortable no matter what their skill level. After a 1 1/2 hour kayak, we stopped at a beautiful site for lunch and was given time to explore the remarkable surroundings while they prepared a delicious and amazing lunch. While enjoying the lunch in our beautiful surroundings, the guide explained some of the many dishes and even brought recipes, which many of us happily took. We had an enjoyable and relaxed paddle back to the starting point where the guide took care of collecting all the paddles, life jackets and other items. The entire tour was professionally and exceptionally run and i would definately recommend it - you will not be disappointed.

Nova Shores runs a great tour from start to finish. From the time you sign up (we did it online) the staff will communicate all the details you need to know and tell you what to bring with you. The staff at the office is very helpful and friendly. They will give you life jackets, waterproof booties, and a kayak spray skirt. From the office you will drive your car 1/2 hour to the launch spot where you will meet your guide and get your kayak. The guide will do introductions and give a safety briefing, then you are off to the water. The guide was very knowledgeable about the tides and also the geology of the area. We stopped at a beach for a delicious hot lunch and a bit of a break. Then we started paddling back to the launching point. The total time kayaking is only about 3 hours, is not physically taxing, but you do need to be in ok shape. I definitely recommend trying one of their tours.

It was the Best trip of my life The views were spectacular The lunch very delicious in the Best settings The service very professional

This was memorable, the guide was awesome, they were extremely safe and I thought the food was very good. Would LOVE to do this again. April 2015.

Drove in from Ontario with my 2 children (17 and 8) to do the 2-day kayak adventure to Seal Cove! What a great experience, surpassed expectations; we came last year for the day trip and were so taken aback by the beauty of the rock formations, watching the rising and falling tides, the great beach and archways we paddled through, and the great organization the hosts of Nova Shores showed us that we had to come again! This time around we explored caves, chignecto trails while our meal was prepped, watching seals bobbing around us and were gifted to see a few sunfish (mola mola’s) surface! The food was just fantastic and filling; we got a bit of rain but were provided with very nicely tarped shelter allowing us to still enjoy the view and have an amazing meal! Didnt feel rushed, was very fun, relaxing and still educational!! This is a MUST-DO for visitors!

What an amazing adventure it was! From the time we drove up to the residence to meet Anne, who outfitted us and filled us in on the details of the trip, the drive to the splash in point with Kienan, and the 3 days we spent with Damien (our guide) the service and experience was excellent. We were outfitted with great equipment - all up to date and top quality. The distances we paddled each day were well paced. The selection & variety of food was fabulous...especially the use of local fare. It was fortunate that the weather was in our favour to enjoy a venue as outstanding as Cape Chignecto both on and off the water. The trip would not have been as magnificent and successful as it was if it were not for our guide, Damien. He is mature and wise beyond his years. You can clearly see the honest enthusiasm and passion for being a guide and his desire for others to share in the experience is top notch. He is very knowledgeable and communicates all aspects of information in a very humble and concise manner. Damien's level of customer service is exemplary. He worked very hard, but made it look very easy. He even rescued an injured black-backed gull and brought it back with us for veterinary attention!! So caring. Thanks for a great experience. Cheers til next time!!
