PRIVATE Zodiac Coastal Tour
Description
Are you a "road-less-travelled" kind of person? Would you like to experience a beautiful, quieter, less touristy part of Nova Scotia? Join us for a 2-hour Zodiac coastal tour through Tanner's Pass and Lunenburg's back passage - a pristine part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Our tour is in a professional Zodiac MilPro MKV. These popular expedition boats are the black, inflatable boats you find on expedition ships around the world. (They're also the boats we operate as photographers and expedition guides in Canada’s sub-arctic and Antarctica!)
So what will we see? It is common to see Atlantic grey seals, osprey, great blue herons, mink, and deer (among other fauna) as we Explore the South Shore. We’ll also talk about flora, fauna and geology as we cruise Tanner’s Pass, Schooners Cove, Heckman’s Island and the Back Passage to Lunenburg. It truly is one of the prettiest parts of Nova Scotia!
Will the tour operate in rain, wind or fog? Absolutely! Light rain, wind and fog are part of the adventure! That said, we keep a close eye on marine weather forecasts, and if we have any safety concerns, we will contact you the day of the tour. It’s also important that you be prepared (at least a little) to get wet. We’re not whitewater rafting, but there’s still a very good chance water will come over the bow.
Please contact us if you have any questions at all!
Know before you go
Please bring warm, waterproof and/or water resistant layers. This is crucial for those mild, rainy days and could make or break your experience. We operate in rain or shine and there's always a chance you could get splashed on zodiacs.
You may also want to bringing a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a full, reusable water bottle, especially for the sunny days of summer!
We also suggest footwear appropriate for walking/hiking. It’s common for us to beach the zodiac so we can explore various islands.
We cannot guarantee that electronics (phones/cameras) will be safe from rain or ocean spray while on tour. We leave it to you to make a judgment call on the day of your tour.
