Coastal Adventures

I took the two-day Intro to Sea Kayaking course, with very little prior experience. The course was amazing, excellent instruction and feedback, and the food was great (and they even accommodated my vegan diet!).

If you’re interested in sea kayaking, take this course. Learning how to get back in your boat from a capsize (and help others do the same) is the most important first step. And it’s fun!

Can’t recommend this place enough.

Note: I've added some photos I took on two different trips I took with Coastal Adventures after the intro course!

Beautiful scenery, well educated and enthusiastic staff.

We had a fabulous trip! We went on the three day 100 Islands tour and it was stunning and the guides were great: patient, capable,and personable. Coastal Adventures also went above and beyond to deal with our complex dietary needs and were really flexible about meeting the needs of our group. This is definitely a top-ten Nova Scotia experience for me.

Booked the half day tour and had an amazing time. Our guide (Jeremy) quickly outfitted us and got us on the water with helpful tips, tutorial, and assistance loading/unloading. The route was interesting with many small islands and inlets. A lot of marine life is readily visible from the surface, especially if you go in the morning on a day with low winds.

Our guide had lots of information about marine and bird life, and conservation in the bay. He was also happy to talk about Nova Scotia and the history of the area in general. Included a tasty snack stop at a sandy beach.

Cannot recommend this tour enough, it is definitely worthwhile making a trip out to Tangier (just an hour from Halifax) and setting aside a day for this.

Raina and Annie were very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable guides. The tour was leisurely taking in the beautiful scenery and we saw a number of seals both in the water and sunbathing. We had a drink and snack stop in a lovely little cove, then headed to a 'jumping rock', with the option to jump....before heading back. Clearly Raina and Annie love their job and they passed that on enthusiasm. Would highly recommend coatal adventures.
