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😄

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??

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.

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…”

After a little rain overnight…

…A Soley Cove family excursion in brilliant sunshine! This family from the GTA is embracing all the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark has on offer. ❤️ Happy weekend, everyone!

Beach Solitude…

Where the waters meet: Two Islands Beach! Access by special permit during Nova Scotia trail closures. Haze, the taste and scent of smoke were are constant reminder how fortunate we were today to explore the shallow waters at Two Islands.

More Soley Cove Love from Montreal!

Another low tide Soley Cove excursion! Cody, the pooch, was a true champion. Always happy when last minute tour requests can be accommodated and meet clients’ expectations!

Two Tours – One Night in Parrsboro…

I love meeting more Canadians on tour this summer! This lovely couple from Montreal explored Soley Cove at sunset yesterday and chose to book the Dulsing and Meeting of the Waters Combo early this Monday morning. A Sunday late afternoon Soley Cove hike during golden and blue light followed by an early morning low tideContinue reading “Two Tours – One Night in Parrsboro…”

Early morning light…

This lovely couple cashed in a gift certificate to explore Clarke Head Arch and the stretch of beach that leads to this impressive landmark along the Parrsboro shore. The perfect activity to start a weekend!

Beach Tours not affected by trail restrictions!

Two friends on their first ocean floor walk… a lovely way to begin their Nova Scotia vacation! The tide was going out mid- afternoon and we only had access after 3:30 pm. The light was magical and these two really enjoyed their Soley Cove tour.

When Clients Add Flexibility to Their Travel Schedule…

Last minute Clarke Head Arch Tour with a science teacher couple and their rescue from Connecticut: The beach belonged to us! It has been busy and last minute tour inquiries have become the trend for summer 2025. When this delightful couple requested a weekend tour and found out that there was no availability they quicklyContinue reading “When Clients Add Flexibility to Their Travel Schedule…”

Family from Ithaca, NY on tour!

Another hot day – an early morning tour inquiry and a scramble to obtain a special permit to guide tours to Two Islands Beach during the trail closures due to extreme dryness in Nova Scotia. I am relieved and happy that a special permit from the Department of Natural Resources enables me to continue withContinue reading “Family from Ithaca, NY on tour!”
