Highlights
  • Three Sisters - The Three Sisters Day Tour showcases the best of Cape Chignecto through an impressive kayaking journey. Each leg of the paddle lasts approximately 1.5 hours, with a delightful picnic break in the middle. At our Advocate Harbour office, our amiable team will equip you with all the necessary gear for your kayaking excursion. You’ll then take a 30-minute drive in your own car to the starting point on a secluded beach, where our certified and engaging guides will greet you. Following a brief on-beach tutorial, we’ll set off to glide past the awe-inspiring, vibrant cliffs at a comfortable pace, as your guides snap photos and share captivating stories about the area’s rich geological features and the Mi’kmaq people, whose history is echoed in the local place names. The tour’s standout experiences include kayaking through a natural arch and past the iconic Three Sisters rock formations (accessible during high tide paddles; during low tide, you’ll have the chance to walk on the ocean floor). After paddling for around 1.5 hours, we’ll stop at a picturesque cove for a homemade picnic that consistently earns high praise from our guests. Following a period of leisure and exploration, we’ll return with the outgoing tide, marveling at the ever-changing landscape.

Great tour with Novashores - Wonderful experience kayaking the Bay of Fundy with Novashores. Easy to book and communicate with. They were even willing to be flexible on dates given weather forecast. Out guide, Rashid, was a great informative guide and prepared a great lunch on a beach. Great views and family fun.

Well organized, entertaining kayaking tour - Very well organized, well equipped, entertaining and educational. All are 2 person kayaks. If you're single, they match you up with another person or the guide. You drive 20 minutes on some rough roads to the beach where the kayaks and equipment are. They time the paddling tour so that the tide is high enough to paddle between and through giant rock formations in the bay. It was raining so the guide put up a huge tarp to shield us as we had a hot lunch on a deserted beach. Our fun and very experienced guide, seasonally moves between Colorado, Mexico and here leading tours.

A Must Do Experience - This was amazing! As a pretty adventurous person, I'm always worried experiences like this won't live up to the hype of reviews. This one absolutely did. It was a unique experience, the guides were very personable, the group was a blast, and even the lunch lived up to the hype that was in the reviews. Whether you're a solo traveler or in a group, I definitely recommend!

Stunning vistas! - This day trip might seem a bit daunting at first to a beginner, however, it's light on paddling even in windy/swell conditions. The views are beyond incredible and the guides are well versed in the history of the area as well as the geology. Lunch was light and delicious, bring snacks if you have a voracious appetite, otherwise you'll be fine.

Great kayaking trip off of Cape Chignecto, Nova Scotia - We are four experienced kayakers and have taken trips from Alaska to Baja to Maine and in-between, both guided and self-guided. The trip with Nova Shores was one of the best experiences we have ever had! Anne was super helpful in setting up the trip, and our guide, Kurtis, was AMAZING! I can't recommend them enough. And the food was DELICIOUS!

Amazing fun experience. - This is my second time connecting with Nova Shores. Right from the booking experience it was a delightful experience. Everyone there is knowledgeable helpful and fun. That’s before you even get on the water. Their guides are extremely knowledgeable not only in kayaking but in sharing stories and facts of the area. The meal provided was amazing even garnished with local edible flowers. Providing the recipes was a nice touch. If you are thinking “should I do this”? And reading these comments jump in they got you and you will not regret it.
