Available spots
Service Description
The Tusket Islands and their fishing shanties house fisherman in the winter months to be nearer fishing grounds, like much of Nova Scotia's coastal population a century ago. The outer islands were once recognized as the micro nation of Outer Baldonia! This one day tour will begin and end at Comeau's Hill, Municipality of Argyle. We'll begin by exploring the northern and central islands of the Tusket Islands, eventually passing between picturesque Harris and Big Tusket Islands. We'll stop on Turpentine Island where we'll enjoy a fully catered shore lunch tailored to your group. We'll enjoy a second stop on Deep Cove Island which boasts views of the entire archipelago. Experience includes: - 6-7 hour tour with Candlebox Kayaking's highly certified, experienced, and knowledgeable local guides - High quality sea kayaks by Boreal Design, Seaward, and all related kayaking equipment - catered shore lunch tailored to your dietary needs - interpretation of the natural and cultural history of the areas visited - photos of your tour What to bring: - shoes that can get wet - personal water bottle (we'll have extra water if you need a refill) - hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, long sleeves - light windbreaker/rain jacket - non-cotton clothing that dries easily if wet What people are saying: "We had a wonderful kayaking excursion to the Tusket Islands with this outfitter. Very professional, always safety in mind, informative explanations of the area visited and overall super helpful to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. They offered a wonderful lunch on a deserted island with everything one could want. We were able to visit places not easily accessible and it sure was a good workout. Can highly recommend Matt and his crew. Thank you very much for a great adventure." - Roland G., TripAdvisor Time: Meet at 8:30am the day of the tour at the end of the road in Comeau's Hill (a link in Google Maps will be provided in a welcome E-mail at time of booking).
