Winter arrived early this year…
Thomes Cove Economy’s Trail: through the marsh onto the beach, cliffside views, lush mossy ground along the narrow woodland trail… and a delicious lunch sampling cheeses at That Dutchman in Economy. Life with Ash at its best!!
Spectacular Economy Falls!! 12 hikers took advantage of the break in the weather to attend the final free fall Hike NS / Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Geopark facilitated by Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers.

Had an amazing day playing tourist at Peggy’s Cove today! Drove through heavy downpours to be rewarded with blue sky and sunshine at our destination! #tiderollersandmudlarkers #tiderollers_mudlarkers #parrsboroshoretours #visitnovascotia #peggyscove #peggyscovenovascotia #peggyscovelighthouse #touristforaday
We had a couple whirlwind days last week. On Thursday I hosted two travel industry consultants from British Columbia hired by Tourism Nova Scotia. There was an instant connection. It is always wonderful to get insights from industry professionals who can assess one’s business efforts and suggest new practices to streamline behind-the scenes operations. Through lively conversations new ideas for future tour offerings were also inspired!
Friday morning at 9 am the DownHome film crew from EastlinkTV arrived and immediate set about to rearrange our living room for the interview. Soon we found ourselves on Partridge Island Beach where we witnessed the last few minutes of the Bubbling Tides, also known as Kluskap’s Grandmother’s Cooking Pots.
We finished the field session near the Old Man Sea-stack close to Clarke Head Arch.
The final part of the day was spent at The Gillespie House Inn on Upper Main Street where innkeeper Lisa Smith was interviewed to shine a spotlight on her accommodation business and provide her with an opportunity for feedback about Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone that made these two days so successful!

In June I spent a fabulous day with one of the PIPAF artists, Jennifer Elliotson, by showing her some hidden spots within the Cliffs of Fundy. Geopark. As a thank you she surprised me with two art pieces which I finally had a chance to hang in our dining room! What better day to express my gratitude than Thanksgiving! #jenniferelliotson #jenniferelliotsonart #pipaf2025 #tiderollersandmudlarkers #tiderollers_mudlarkers #parrsboroshoretours #cliffsoffundygeopark #explorecumberland
Autumn is the perfect time for our new Hike & Sip tour combo! These couples from Ontario took a break in Parrsboro after nearly 4,000 km of driving. After a brisk morning hike to Clarke Head Arch with the receding tide they are off to enjoy their flights of local craft beer at Two Islands Brewery! Happy Thanksgiving to all🍁🍂🍗
…our last mindfulness photography session at Five Islands Provincial Park this afternoon was a windy event! The waves were crashing onto the shore with the tide approaching their highest levels.
We caught one last glimpse at the 200 million year old dinosaur print first spotted last Monday:
Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend!
…and I am finishing the last two free programs at Five Islands Provincial Park, the Thanksgiving weekend is upon us here in Canada.

Your support has catapulted us forward and continues to shine the spotlight on our activities. Thank you and stay tuned for some exciting news shortly!

When a walk on the ocean floor doesn’t fit the travel schedule we offer a smorgasbord of sights! This fabulous couple from Phoenix, AZ loved Five Islands Lighthouse Park and Thomas Cove at high tide today. #tiderollersandmudlarkers #tiderollers_mudlarkers #parrsboroshoretours #cliffsoffundygeopark #bayoffundy #visitnovascotia #explorecanada #explorecumberland #highesttidesintheworld #cliffsoffundygeoparkexperienceprovider #fiveislandslighthousepark #thomascove #customtour #privatetour
Geodiversity Day 2025 recap from Sunrise to Sunset: Spencer’s Island Beach fossil search to Lower Truro Tidal Bore to Five Islands Beach Geopark Logo creation and discovering a 200 million year old dinosaur foot print… the day was perfect!

I had the distinct pleasure of joining historian Dr. Jeff Orr on a Parrsboro historic sites tour at dusk last night. Highly recommend this guided tour with all proceeds going to the Parrsborough Shore Historical Society for the upgrades of interpretive panels.
Two Islands Beach with two Besties since Grade 1! What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday Afternoon😁
When a booking for one turns into a booking for three over breakfast at The Mansion Inn… and I get to spend the day exploring with lovely folk from New Hampshire and Virginia!
Love returning clients who have a sense of adventure: we explored some key Geopark sites on a nine hour tour. Loved our time around the Eatonville Day use area, Squally Point Shore, Spicer’s Cove and Edgett’s Beach! ♥️♥️♥️
When your day starts at 4:45 am to guide an early tour to experience a 7:10 am sunrise… so very peaceful!
Another good turn out for our free Mindfulness Photography session at Five Island Provincial Park this afternoon! Thanks to all who travelled the distance and explored texture, pattern and dot in space📷♥️
There is no denying that autumn has arrived! It’s the time to check out our new “Hike & Sip” and “Hike & Savour” packages on our website and Tourism Nova Scotia’s site.

It has been a day filled with beautiful scenery, human interaction and weighing future endeavours: from experiencing fog-shrouded vistas to meeting students at Springhill Highschool during their career day, the afternoon was filled spending time with Jon from Raven Productions capturing scenery in and around Parrsboro for a special project.
Peach in the sky made for the perfect start to a Meeting of the Waters excursion, the last for this season! It was a real pleasure to take this young , professional couple from Toronto (far from the 401 hustle and bustle…) out this morning.
Early light: perfect for the second last Meeting of the Waters Tour for 2025! This lovely couple from North Bay, ON enjoyed their private tour experiencing the tidal waters rushing in🌊
Excellent turn out for our first ever free mindfulness photography session at Five Islands Provincial Park last Friday afternoon! Interested? Our next session takes place on Saturday, September 27th from 2-4 pm in the Day use area. Look for the sign!
Off to a great start: We had a fantastic turn out for our first Hike NS fall event in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark. The destination: Brookville Formation. Thank you Heather and Larry for co-leading and thank you to all who attended!
Stay tuned for our next hike: Soley Cove, October 18th. Pre-registration required.
Great opportunity to use my German skills with these two couples from south-western Germany! We explored small parts of Soley Cove and Thomas Cove in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark.
Once more with feeling: Soley Cove with Joyce and Tim from Virginia! A glorious day all around♥️
Texas to Soley Cove: a fun-loving, energetic family ocean floor walk full of sunshine and gentle breezes… Summer continues in the Bay of Fundy! It was such a pleasure to meet this Dallas-based family and watch how much they loved their custom tour.
Five Island Provincial Park and Lighthouse Park views at high tide. What a gift after sharing the high tide talk with attendees.
There is no better way to celebrate 50 years together than experiencing the Meeting of the Waters! This lovely couple enjoyed every moment of their ocean floor excursion. ♥️
September ocean floor walks are the best! What a pleasure it was to take this group to Soley Cove to witness the Aeolian Sandstone Cliffs with their high tide markings, watch the tide turning and even taste the odd sea olive😁
The Fundy Discovery Site in Lower Truro marks the first of the Cliffs of Fundy GeoSite. I had the opportunity to witness the tidal bore at this location in the past. By coincident I was able to arrive about 30 minutes before today’s bore arrival and it was worth joining the rest of the visitors waiting.
We were not disappointed! It was a spectacular site:
When family gets together around the full moon… from lobster boil to the Meeting of the Waters: a great time was had by all! Thanks for letting Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers facilitate a couple of your activities! We love working with locals when hosting family visiting Nova Scotia. ♥️
Amazing views! Wards Brook Formation revisited – Epic tour! The perfect way to spend another sunny day in Cumberland County, NS.
September started on a positive note! These fun-loving folk on their way to an Airstream meet-up stopped by to walk on the ocean floor! What a great bunch: their curiosity and sense of wonder made for some magical moments. Soley Cove never disappoints.
…and it couldn’t have gone any better! Epic Soley Cove excursion with a focus on experiencing the tide! The day was perfect with sunshine, blue skies dotted with puffy clouds and the Minas Basin smooth as a mirror!
This sets a new record: 26 tours in one month… looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
A glorious day to blow the cobwebs from my mind! Clarke Head Arch never lets me down.
There is nothing more exhilarating than experiencing the Meeting of the Waters! These three whole-heartedly agree😄
…to plan a special morning tour that even interests the teenagers in the family!
The weather cooperated to pull off a special birthday “Meeting of the Waters Tour” early this morning for a lovely family from Boston!
Did you know? Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers continues to offer free educational presentations about the tides and tidal safety at Five Islands Provincial Park Day Use Area! Next presentation: Sunday, August 24th at 1:30 pm Everyone welcome!
Treasures emerge as the tide recedes at Spicer’s Cove and Edgett’s Beach. The sun treated is to a beautiful day – perfect for a beach excursion with friends. Hurricane Erin spared this part of Nova Scotia and we are grateful… although rain would be very much appreciated!
Pausing for a much needed reset… a welcome spot along the road between Amherst and Parrsboro! The Maccan Tidal and Freshwater Marsh is never busy but offers an easy stroll through nature! #tiderollersandmudlarkers #tiderollers_mudlarkers #parrsboroshoretours #explorecumberland #maccantidalwetlandspark #pausetobreathe
