The Season Continues…

Once more with feeling: Soley Cove with Joyce and Tim from Virginia! A glorious day all around♥️

Fun in the Sun at Soley Cove…

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.

The light!!

Five Island Provincial Park and Lighthouse Park views at high tide. What a gift after sharing the high tide talk with attendees.

An Anniversary to Remember!

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. ♥️

Another great Soley Cove 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😁

Tidal Bore Extravaganza!!!

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:

Family Fun Times in Parrsboro!!!

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. ♥️

Another great Meeting of the Waters Tour. Here is the video of today’s tidal bore swirling from the bottom of our soles to our knees in 30 seconds flat…

Meeting of the Waters, September 9th, 2025, 10:10 AM

Amazing views! Wards Brook Formation revisited – Epic tour! The perfect way to spend another sunny day in Cumberland County, NS.

Soley Cove in September

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 once more with feeling: Soley Cove!!

What’s a tour operator to do when a last minute request arrives? You take this lovely Dutch family out on the ocean floor, of course! After these three shared that they were disappointed with the trail closures, as they had intended to explore Nova Scotia as avid hikers, I was glad I abandoned my original plans to rest my sore feet.

Tour event #27 in August! Taking the rest of the month off😜.

Final August Custom Tour…

…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 free day calls for a contemplative hike to Clarke Head Arch!

A glorious day to blow the cobwebs from my mind! Clarke Head Arch never lets me down.

Final Meeting of the Waters Tour for August

There is nothing more exhilarating than experiencing the Meeting of the Waters! These three whole-heartedly agree😄

When there are fewer than 24 hours notice…

…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!

Looking for things to do for free??

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!

Spicer’s Cove and Edgett’s Beach near Apple River

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!

Touring Soley Cove with Gummibears in your Backpack…

Seeing Soley Cove through the eyes of this family from Alberta was a highlight of this summer! As summer vacation time draws to a close I could not have asked for a more engaging group that reserved this afternoon for the last guided family tour of the summer.

Finding common ground… the smiles tell all!

International multigenerational family from Massachusetts and Siberia vacationing in Nova Scotia! Two Islands and Wasson’s Bluff beaches offered something for everyone❤️

Sunday at Five Islands Provincial Park

We love it when “old clients” return with a younger family member! Great times with Kathleen, Bob and Zach while looking for mud piddocks, hermit crabs and exploring the geology at Five Islands Provincial Park.
