Such a class operation. Friendly, helpful, fun staff! This adventure is so much fun from mud surfing to the actual rafting. Emmit, the owner, did an outstanding job of explaining the natural phenomenon that makes this Shubie rafting trip such a blast. Don’t miss it!

An AMAZING experience!!! Highly recommended. Our boat guide Ella was super friendly, knowledgeable and gave us the best time with hitting all the big waves. Thank you Ella for making our trip an even better experience!!

This was so much fun! I highly recommend running the river. However, if you wear glasses--DON'T. I secured my glasses with a head band, so they didn't fall off--that's only the first problem. The real problem is that there is so much grit in the water, that the coating on my glasses got completely scratched up. I had to have the rest of the coating professionally removed. And the plastic under the coating also got scratched. So, do yourself a favor and order a pair of cheap "prescription" goggles. Your glasses will thank you!

This was so much fun and the only place in the world it can be experienced. Our guide Kae was super and we learned a lot! Don’t worry if the raft fills with water. The mud sliding was fun too.

A great value for your time and money. Hours of action packed river fun! My 13 year old son and 16 year old daughter actually agreed on something; That this river trip was the highlight of their vacation. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, educating us about how the river bore tides work, the wildlife along the river all the while keeping us laughing, thanks Issac!

Business has been sold and moved location. The new location Shubie River Wranglers the facility are not as good. No indoor toilets or showers. Only 4 outdoor showers with cold water for 60 people. Long wait. The ride on the river is fun the the guide was very good. The staff the office were not very friendly. I would try one of the other companies offing the same river tour.
Have a good trio to Nova Scotia

Visited on a beautiful labour day. There were 10 boats in the water that day and everything was so well organized and everyones safety paramount.
Upon signing in, your group was given the name of the guide and asked to wait until they called us to supply life-jackets (help was given ensuring they fit properly if needed), wet gear, and boots if desired. Just prior to heading to your boats each the team leader showed his sign and you followed him down to the river. He explained what was involved and where to sit at certain times of the adventure. There was an extra boat in the water that kept track of everybody and provide emergency assistance if needed.
The two hour tour was incredible but after a while some people were getting chilled and tired of being soaked to the skin (I found the rain jacket very worthwhile).

Like the headline says... if you visit Nova Scotia in the summer or early fall you MUST do this. It makes for a great afternoon!

Do you have to know how to swim and if not what happens if you fall in?

I asked our guide and she said that in 2 years only 2 boys fell in "by accident" and they were goofing off in her boat. The guides tell you when to lean in just in case it is bumpy and I actually fell forward into the boat (but not backwards out of the boat). It really is great fun.

We just did it last week and I'm pretty sure they close The first week in October . They have a toll free number so do phone and ask, Also we needed reservations when we did it on a Saturday. I wore a fleece jacket under their rain suits and the water was cold.

When in this month of September is the highest tidal bore and what do you charge per person? Over 65 senior rates?

If you go to their website it will give you a full breakdown of the tides; as for seniors rates, I would give their 1-800 # a call. if no seniors rates, you'll still get a great exchange on your US$ :-)

My wife and I have been to Nova Scotia twice and were taken in by the tidal bore . However, both tidal bores we have seen were quite small - 4 to 6 inches. We are planning to visit again in Aug/Sep 2016. When with the highest tidal bores be during that time and any estimate of how high?
