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!”
Family Geology Tour…
In the footsteps of Eldon George… this budding geologist from the Ottawa region was keen to check out the beaches at Wasson’s Bluff and Two Islands today! There were shiny rocks and hermit crabs galore, skipping rocks was another interest and just wading in the water at low tide kept us cool and focussed. ThereContinue reading “Family Geology Tour…”
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…”
