It's 8 hours since we got home from our kayaking excursion and we are STILL smiling!!! (Although we are completely exhausted!!!! Lol) This was my first time kayaking, my fiancé's first time and my 14 year old son’s second time. The owner was great when I called with my million questions about what to expect, what to wear, what if... More

I booked our tour well in advance and, as the day approached the weather looked overcast and I considered cancelling our trip. I am so glad I did not. It was one of the best experiences of our 10 day trip in Canada. My husband and I did a tandem tour with Angelo who hit the right balance of guide... More

The weather was beautiful and the river was calm. We stopped and had tea and banana bread which made for a great time to stretch our legs. We had a great time with Emily. We enjoyed the time on the water.

We stopped by here by accident while travelling through the area. We saw the sign and said why not. There was no one there but we did see a prominent sign noting the tour schedule for the day. We only had to wait for one hour before the next tour. We toured for about 3 hours along the shoreline on... More

Justin and Emily were great guides, the kayaks were well maintained, it was a beautiful day in August 2012. We saw 3 eagles, an eaglet and great blue herons as well as kingfishers. We did the 1/2 day tour - just long enough. You will be very happy with the whole experience.

My wife and I did a tadem kayak tour with Angelo, and it was one of the highlights of our Cabot Trail trip. Although, it is probably best to pair yourself with others of similar age and/or fitness levels, ocean kayaking is nothing to fear and gives you access to parts of the river you wouldn't otherwise be able to...

We went on the half day trip with friends. It was a warm, sparkling day and the Bald Eagles put on quite a display. A beautiful trip, made better by Emily and Justin, our two fun and capable guides. We loved the trip and the whole experience Thanks, Angelo, for running such a good tour company.

My fiancee and I thought our maiden voyage to Cape Breton wouldn't be complete without some sea kayaking. We chose North River as our outfitter and had an absolute blast on our half-day tour with Emily, our guide. It was an overcast day with some good wind and waves on the open water, but Emily's guidance, instruction, and contagious exuberance... More

Brian Mac My brother and I booked a half-day guided tour with Justin, our informative guide. Driving from Sydney, we encountered rain showers along the way. However, when we arrived at the Cabin in the woods, the rain had stopped, the wind had diminished-- a perfect day for a paddle. Justin had packed banana bread and chocolate chi tea for... More
