NEW for 2008!: *** Paddling and Porpoises - The Shut In Island Adventure ***
Join us for a pleasant 3 hour paddle to explore the largest and least visited island in Saint Margaret’s Bay. Paddling North through the active fishing villages of Indian Harbour and Modesty Cove, your destination, Shut In Island, looms before you, mist shrouded and mysterious.
Local lore tells of pirates, ghosts and buried treasure hidden in one of its many caves. Believe what you will of the old tales, one thing is certain; there is a treasure on the island. But this treasure won’t be found buried deep in one of the many caves or hidden in a dark hollow. It can be found at the top of the island where, on a clear day, a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire St Margaret’s Bay and Peggy’s Cove area awaits the committed treasure hunter. This is the ultimate destination of your Shut In Island adventure and Oceanstone’s EcoConcierge, Eben Fry, will be pleased to guide you there.
There is more to this trip than the awe inspiring view; Eben will also share information about the native flora and fauna which flourish along Shut In’s shores and pristine waters. Porpoises, whales, osprey, bald eagles, deer, mink and sunfish are often spotted on this trip, so be sure to keep a close watch! Your Shut In Island adventure includes:
- Kayaks and all necessary equipment
- Basic instruction in kayaking and safety briefing
- Guide
