Hi Tanya, we are so glad that you did decide to come on out. The fog often lifts and even if it doesn't it just adds some mystery to the experience. If its a open water crossing it can mean we travel quite slow, but along the shores it doesn't make a lot of difference in our small zodiac style boat. Hope you get to join us again!
Thanks for the great review. What is so great about it is that it tells it like it is with our boat adventures on the largest tides on earth of the upper Bay of Fundy, where we occasionally have to come up with solutions to the extremes of nature that we work with daily. For others thinking of coming with us: It is a spectacular ecosystem, but also very different from anything you might have experienced with boat tours in the past as we cannot, like on most boat tours, launch from a developed wharf as there isn't water at the wharf much of the time. So we launch many days from beaches. But when you drain a body of ocean water of 40 vertical feet of ocean in 6 hours and then have it all flow back in over the next 6 hours you have to do what those amazing tides allow you to do. Those tides also differ in time and height each day. And then there is what the beaches allow as they can go from large rock to soft sand and we often have to move our launch and return spots to be able to depart or come back in. Throw into the mix a ecosystem so powerful that it creates its own weather as those huge tides flood the bay each day, sometimes creating unpredictable wind or fog. So to have flexible, understanding people join us, such as this reviewer, is wonderful as you can see we do our best with what nature offers. That may mean a juggling of timing, or even destination at times - but we are wanting to give you the best experience we can so even with that juggling you will have a unique, fun and often exciting adventure. We hope you can make it back up sometime Lisa and Jon!
Wow Daloris, thanks for sharing your impression of Advocate Boat Tours. As a new business we appreciate your advice to travellers to this remote region of Nova Scotia.
Thanks for the excellent review of our service to supply transport to Isle Haute. A bit different than one of our tours but as you witnessed, the logistics of such a excursion on the largest tides on earth of the upper Bay of Fundy, which makes its own weather due to the huge changes in tide every 6 hours, is a adventure in itself!
I'm glad we were able to help you out - and we look forward to seeing you on your return!
Thanks for the review of a foggy day ride Karen. Regardless of if it is a clear or fog day the experience is unique as the tides and cliffs of Cape Split are always a awe inspiring sight. We are still often spellbound by the power of the tides, after all the times we have witnessed it.
Thanks for sharing your advice here on TA for those contemplating a tour with Advocate Boat Tours academic1. Isle Haute is truly one of the most unique places in Nova Scotia and we were pleased to be able to share it with you and your friends. Hope to see you again soon!
Thanks for the great review Brian, its always fun being out with such an enthusiastic guest as yourself. The photos you shared with us were excellent and we have posted them on our facebook page - hope to see you again!
Thanks for the excellent review Susanne, we hope you do get back to join us on another tour soon!
Thanks for letting us help you get that off your to do list Su' and we greatly appreciate the review. After running the NovaShores Adventures kayaking for so many years its great to get some feedback for our first year of running the new boating adventures. Now that you have seen the shores of the mysterious Isle Haute we hope you can join us to take in the tidal power of Cape Split!
