Fall Foliage Tour (3 days)
3-Day Kayaking/Camping all inclusive*
Cost: $595CDN Call for Dates: Late September through Canadian Thanksgiving weekend
New Brunswick is the picture province of Canada - especially in early October when the blue of the ocean and sky meets the reds and rusts of the foliage. With a bright sun and crisp air we set out on the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend for our last tour of the season. Join us in celebrating this magnificent time of year. For three days and two nights we can paddle along the 300 foot cliffs of Grand Manan, visit the crystal cliffs of White Head, camp on a different island each night and scavenge some isolated coves and beaches that are reachable only by water. If camping sounds too cold for you this time of year, we will be happy to arrange B&B accommodation for you instead.
