Cape Chignecto: Three Sisters Kayaking Day Tour

Be awed by the huge tides of the Bay of Fundy where you can literally watch the tides rise and fall up to 40 vertical feet. This sea kayaking day trip takes you into in the spectacularly scenic and remote Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Geopark, where North America once separated from Africa, and the evidence is still visible in the cliffs today: Lava flows, fossils, colourful rock formations steeped in indigenous storytelling, and arches to paddle through. A highlight of the tour are the Three Sisters rock spires, which we will kayak through while taking photographic memories to take home. We will stop at a remote beach that used to be one of the busiest shipyards along the Fundy shore during the age of sail. Today, it is a heaven of serenity, where we might find remnants of the past in an old horseshoe or parts of the historic wharf once the tide recedes. Here, we might see a bald eagle fly over and hear kingfishers chatter. We settle down on driftwood for a home-made meal fresh from our organic garden. Upon paddling back, the tide will be well into the ebb, so areas where we previously paddled through are now sitting high and dry - an incredible sight.

The paddling time each way is about 1.5 hrs, with an hour for the picnic. We provide certified kayaking guides, all the gear needed, food, photos and instructions on how to paddle and steer the kayaks.

We meet at different times each day - in sync with the tides - at our office in Advocate Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. From there, you will drive in your own car to the launch site in Cape Chignecto Park- part of the road is on gravel. The total time needed to complete the tour from door to door is 6 hours.
