The Bay of Fundy July 15th-18th The Bay of Fundy is renowned for the Greatest tides on earth which, when combined with the highest cliffs on mainland Nova Scotia, have produced a remarkable paddling destination. Our route follows the boundary of a continental collision that thrust Africa angainst North America eons ago. We weave among rock gardens, poke into sea caves, and glide under towering spires draped with seaweed far above our kayaks. Dark volcanic basalt, containing agate, amethyst and jasper, caps bright reddish sandstone where the earliest dinosaurs roamed our planet
Cape Breton Highlands August 1-5 and 18-22 During the five day tour we will paddle under the shadow of the Cape Breton Highlands, on the northern tip of the province, where imposing rock formations flank the precambrian shield of the highlands and the sea caves and spiresadorn the route.The narrow steep valleys and gullies, interupted by waterfalls, lead up to the barren plateau with its panoramic view of the Gulf of St Lawrence. Bald eagles and seals abound, and we will often accompany pods of whales as they feed on the migrating mackerel and squid. This is one of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America.
