Two Destinations – One Tour!

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.

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.

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😁

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 WatersContinue reading “Family Fun Times in Parrsboro!!!”

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 originalContinue reading “And once more with feeling: Soley Cove!!”

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😄

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!

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.

Saturday Morning in the Cove…

Eagles and Sunshine- the perfect combo for a day on the ocean floor with participants from Truro and Toronto today. These two teens were super engaged and took full advantage of checking out the caves, climbing a few of the rocks and flowerpots, they discovered green crabs, found a few pretty shells, captured the eaglesContinue reading “Saturday Morning in the Cove…”

Two Tour Re-cap…

Circumnavigating Two Islands through the Hershey Kiss and experiencing the Meeting of the Waters last Saturday – what a way to start your Cliffs of Fundy Geopark holiday, Louise and Jon! This experience was topped with a rustic beach breakfast and freshly baked dulse-infused biscuits and a choice of tea or coffee. Great start toContinue reading “Two Tour Re-cap…”

Watch for more posts as I shall share recaps of previous tours I have conducted since May. Epic tour for this youngContinue reading “Summer in full swing…”

May 2025 started with a busier-than-expected tour schedule. With clients from Boston, Edmonton, Montreal and Halifax, the calendar filled up quickly. While most bookings are one-time events the Montreal gang had claimed four consecutive days with various beaches to explore. My job assignment with this repeat client and her friends, as always: “Keep us safeContinue reading “Successful May Tours with Fabulous Clients!”
