I am assuming that you're interested in outdoor activities in the Advocate Harbour area since this question is on the NovaShores page. Depending on your travel arrangements and late August options, you could stay in Truro and access a variety of activities within a 1-2 hour drive. Truro itself has a lovely park with hiking trails (Victoria Park). Most drives in Nova Scotia are scenic and take longer than on a highway. From Truro, you could raft the tidal bore at Maitland (~30 min. west from Truro), visit and explore Burncoat Head (~1 hour from Truro/30 from Maitland viewing platform area), drive to Joggins Fossil Cliffs (~1 hour on the highway north), drive down to Advocate for a kayak (~45 min. SW from Joggins maybe?), eat at the Lighthouse D'Or, go to any number of beaches, and possibly whale watch in Chignecto. You could easily fill 3 days in this area. Most of the towns besides Truro and Amherst are small, and I have no lodging info. If you're more interested in the western end of the Bay of Fundy area, you probably want to concentrate on lodgings and activities that way--Digby is quite a drive from Truro. If more interested in city life, Halifax and Lunenberg have much to see and would be enjoyable in 3 days. (Cape Split in the previous post is about 1/2 way between Truro and Digby.)

I suggest that you emailed them at the address found on their website. They were very quick to answer all my questions.

We went with a party of 5. One of the members in our group went in a kayak with another group. It would be no problem to paddle the kayak by yourself.

We were only used to lakes and rivers also but found this tour to be awesome. We are in our late 50s and not exactly models of physical fitness. However you csnt avoid waves on this tour. If you are genuinely terrified of waves then this isn't for you.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your inquiry! Our tours are suitable for both beginners and seniors. While the paddle requires a certain level of general fitness and an adventurous spirit as we kayak along a very scenic, rugged and beautifully remote coastline, we paddle at a relaxed pace with expert guides. You would share a double kayak that is easy to paddle and very stable even if we get a bit of wind and chop. I believe our most senior guest so far was in his late 80s. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, Anne Grabinsky | NovaShores Adventures

No, the tours are in Cape Chignecto Park which is the largest and wildest provincial park in Nova Scotia. It is on the Bay of Fundy, directly across the bay from Fundy National.
