Summary:
We came prepared for any weather (as Kennan says, it's NovaShores ADVENTURES), but Mother Nature gave us a beautiful calm day. Our guide Kennan was knowledgeable, funny, and had so many stories!! Best guide ever!!! He made our shore lunch, which was one of the best things we ate on our whole trip!!!! Exceptional!!! And of course the Bay of Fundy was the star of the show - she was beautiful. Lots of sea birds, cool seaweed on the rocks, and some curious seals too!
We paddled at a very easy pace - the guides make it really easy for anyone to do this regardless of skill level

Summary:
My wife and I took the Three Sisters day trip. When you visit the Bay of Fundy an excursion along the shoreline with its dramatic cliffs, red sand beaches, pristine waters and non-stop views is essential. Nova Shores Adventures’ itinerary was perfectly planned, their kayaks and gear were in excellent condition and their guide Curtis was professional and friendly and made it a wonderful experience. Lunch set on driftwood on the beach is worth special mention. I highly recommend Nova Shores Adventures.
