A must do for travellers to the Yarmouth area. We were treated to a wonderful time by a local family who was very proud and excited to share their heritage with us. The tour departs from Wedgeport on a lobster boat (off season for lobster fishing in the area). We were given the history of the industry in the area and got to see how lobster traps work. The tour takes you to Big Tusket Island where the operator's family has a shanty and are provided a lunch of seafood chowder freshly made using a family recipe. For those with an allergy to seafood or who are not fond of seafood, hot dogs were also offered along with rolls, crackers and beverages. Our captain for the day was Jamie and our guide was Simon, who is a music and math teacher during the school year. Simon provided a great live music performance on the return trip to Wedgeport which included traditional east coast music as well as requests. A most enjoyable day which was not hampered in any way by the fog. Thanks Jamie and Simon for a wonderful time.

We spent a beautiful day on their fantastic boat.. The tour was informative, entertaining and fun. The chowder was delicious. It is a great way to get out on the water and learn about this part of Nova Scotia.

What a Tour! This family run business provides you with the history of the area and lobster fishing in a fun atmosphere. Simone, our Captain Jamie, and his young son Aden answered all questions and ensured we had a nice time. Simone is a school teacher by trade and he explains things very well and encourages questions.The huge 14 pound lobster brought out from the trap provided us with lots of photo ops and the gorgeous scenery was icing on the cake. We had amazing lobster chowder on the island and we were serenaded by Simone singing and playing the guitar on the way back. Aden got into the act by sheepishly playing a drum like instrument as his father the Captain video taped a little of it on his phone...I could see the pride on dad's face :-) The Captain treated us to a special punch with a little kick to it and fun was had by all. When we return to Nova Scotia we would do this tour again. It was several hours long. You can't go wrong with this one! And, did I tell you....they did go out with 4 of us on board, but the following day they had 40 something scheduled!
