Seal Cove 2 Day Adventure
Itinerary
The Seal Cove Adventure takes you into Cape Chignecto Park, a very scenic place to paddle and camp. Launching from the red sands at Spicer’s Cove, the cliffs become increasingly dramatic as we paddle along the park’s shoreline, and we might spot seals and eagles along the way.
We explore the park’s stunning rock features for 2-3 hrs until we reach the secluded Seal Cove. Here, we’ll relax on the beach, have lunch, and set up camp. In the afternoon, you have the option of hiking up the escarpment to Green Point (1 h return) for magnificent vistas back to the Three Sisters and across the Bay to Fundy National Park, or you could go out kayaking again with your guide to float among the seals. You land again for dinner on the beach facing west – perfect for the sunset.
The next morning, you will have breakfast at leisure, pack up camp, stop for lunch in one of the coves along the way, and be back at the launch spot around 2-3 pm.
Stay overnight and watch the incredible Fundy tides
The tides change the scenery dramatically, and it is great to spend a whole tidal cycle by the Bay – have the water almost lapping at your tent’s doorstep and wake up to a huge beach with quite a walk to the water’s edge.
Meals – all included
We provide healthy, tasty & carefully prepared meals. Most ingredients are either home-grown in our own garden, home-baked, or provided by the local fishermen. We strive to be sustainable, say no to single-use plastic and bake and cook with up to 90 % organic ingredients. We cater to all dietary restrictions. Please notify us in advance.
“We had a very memorable time on our Seal Cove Adventure. The scenery was beautiful, the food scrumptious and your services at NovaShores Adventures were everything we had hoped for.”

Good to know
Groups: The usual group size is 2 to 6. For a larger party or private tours, please contact us directly.
Safety: We provide double kayaks as the conditions on the Bay can change quickly, and the immense tides can create some extra challenges. The doubles are stable yet sporty, long sea kayaks that leave each paddler enough space to paddle even if they shouldn’t be in sync.
Gear: We provide all gear but sleeping bags. Guests can bring their own or rent one from us for CA$ 20. We also provide 2 medium sized dry bags for your personal gear and will provide a packing list. The tents can accommodate 1 to 2 persons comfortably, or a family of 3 with a smaller child.
Payment & Cancellation policy: Full payment is due upon booking. For cancellations of up to 30 days before tour start, a refund of 90 % of the tour price after tax will be issued. For cancellations of 30 days or less, there will be no refund. We recommend a travel cancellation insurance. If NovaShores has to cancel, there will be a full refund.
