Had a great visit. - If you want to learn about the history, culture and how nature is a big part of the Mi kmaq Culture this is definitely the tour to take. Kayla & Trinity are both very knowledgeable. You get to experience a smudging ceremony and understand how special this ceremony is. Kayla took me around the trail and explained how the Mi kmaq lived, hunted and used the forest for food and shelter. She shared with me her family history, which I was very grateful for. Thank you. Will definitely visit again.
