Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers, also known as ParrsboroShoreTours.ca, is ready to roll into the 2025 season.
Registrations are a little more sluggish than last year, and while we all have our theories, a recent comment from a local accommodation provider gave me pause: some potential guests have been calling to ask if Americans are welcome in Nova Scotia.

Let me be clear—we welcome all travelers with open arms.

With 95% of our past tour clients coming from south of the border, it’s not only important, but essential, to extend a warm invitation and a friendly smile.

Come on over! There are no lines in the sand—just ocean, openness, and friendship.

Whether you’re clambering over ancient basalt boulders, spotting fossils in limestone, admiring the Aeolian sandstone cliffs, or walking the ocean floor where the tides leave their stories behind, each tour is a chance to connect—with nature, with history, and with a quieter rhythm of life.

One of my favorite moments last season was watching a couple from California stand in awe as the Bay of Fundy tides swept in faster than they imagined—laughing, wide-eyed, and completely captivated. That’s the magic we’re lucky enough to witness in the Upper Bay of Fundy region every day.

This year brings a few new surprises: we’ve added early-morning low-tide walks for those who love golden light and quiet beaches, family-focussed beach excursions with pocket microscopes and magnifying glasses to walk in the footsteps of the dinosaurs, and we’re in the final recipe-testing phase for a dulse harvest and beach cookout experience. It begins with an early morning walk to harvest this nutritious sea vegetable, followed by time to relax in the sun and enjoy a dulse-enriched picnic by the sea.

Whether you’re planning well in advance or looking for a last-minute coastal escape, we’re here to help make your visit smooth and memorable. Questions? Just reach out—we’re always happy to chat.
