Excursion Descriptions  

Our excursions are 2-3 hours and include an intro to kayaking and paddling techniques.  On the water the trip is typically broken into 2 legs with a beach stop and snack break. Please ask about our shorter and longer excursions

 

1/ Explore St Martins, a Stonehammer Geosite and its awesome scenery. 

 Our main excursions are from the harbour in St Martins and include an intro to sea kayaking plus a tour under the bridges of the Irish River, out into the bay and a viewing of the famous caves.  We'll have a beach stop below the towering cliffs of the Bay of Fundy and view the geological history of the area.


   

2/ From Darling's Island covered bridge paddle the meandering arms of the Hammond River to Darling's Lake and the Kennebecasis River

This area can be accessed in April and May to see the panorama of the spring flood plane, then in the summer months to enjoy the serenity of the lazy waterways and finally the spectacular colours of early fall in September and October.

  

3/ From Fairvale on the Kennebecasis River cross over to view the geological spectacle of Minister's Face on Long Island. 

 Then hike to the top for a panoramic view of the Kennebecasis Valley.  Return to the beach for a snack and then head back to the mainland.

 

4/ From Millidgeville on the Kenebecasis kayak out and around the various islands (Indian and Two Brothers) with a snack break at Tucker Park.

 

5/ Saint John on the Bay of Fundy kayak from McLaren's Beach or Saint's Rest with optimal exploration to islands such as Partridge, Mahogany or Taylor's

Here is a great opportunity for wildlife viewing (various bird species, harbour seals and marine life).


  

We rent kayaks and accessories for: $50 per day* (all fees include delivery in the local area). 

*Quotes available for longer durations
