Itinerary and highlights

The Three Sisters Day Tour shows off all the highlights of Cape Chignecto in one stunning paddle. The paddling time each way is 1.5 hrs, with a splendid picnic in between. At the office in Advocate Harbour, our friendly staff will outfit you and make sure you have everything you need for your kayak adventure. Then, you drive around 30 minutes in your own vehicle to the launch area at a wild beach, where your certified, personable guides welcome you. After instructions on the beach, we paddle along magnificent, colourful cliffs at leisure, while your guides take pictures and entertain with interesting facts about the spectacular geology that is at our fingertips, and the people whose legends still reflect in the place names around here, the Mi'kmaq. Highlights of this tour include paddling through an arch and the Three Sisters rock spires. (On the high tide paddles only. On low tide paddles, you will be able to walk the ocean floor.) After about 1.5 hrs, we will pull into a beautiful cove to have a home-made picnic that guests regularly rave about. After some relaxing and exploring, we head back on the ebbing tide and will be in awe about how much the scenery is changing.
