Ocean Explorations Zodiac Whale Cruises is the maritimes ORGINAL Zodiac ("ocean rafting") whale/seabird adventure! Celebrating 30+ seasons, founded by biologist Tom Goodwin, in 1986! "one of the best" (Lonely Planet) and the most recommended by accomodation providers in the area. Ask them "who is the BEST?" and go with THEM (ie. we'll see you then) We are the 'premium' option - using only ONE 'commercial grade' professional "zodiac" (type) boat - rugged commercial construction with twin engines is the professional standard. Biologist Tom Goodwin is one of the most 'famous' and qualified/experienced whale guides, IN THE WORLD. (see the world famous Triple Breach video online, link from the website, or google it). He is doing 95% of the tours himself now. It is the ONLY professional grade zodiacs in use in nova scotia and only biologist/owner (too). If this site doesn't allow quoting websites. google triple breach and/or Tom Goodwin (he's not the baseball player one! :-) )

Followed a couple of humpback whales around while one put on a tail slapping dance. Tom Goodwin was an excellent guide. Be sure to see balancing rock formation. The trail is less than a mile away ( short trail with some steps but an incredible view).

Mavillette Beach Provincial Park

Reviewed By MarkandKarenHunter - Windsor, Canada

Visited this beach several times while staying at the Cape View Motel and cottages. The beach is sandy and very clean. My family enjoyed the sandpipers and the waves. The beach has a slow slope making it wonderful for playing in the waves or enjoying your time with small children. There were very few people there during our visits. There was also a place you could rent surfboards as well as a snack bar, both near the road just off the beach. A very pleasant experience.

Cape Forchu Lighthouse

Welcome to Cape Forchu, a Light Like No Other. This spectacular and unique "apple core" lighthouse is the second most photographed lighthouse in Nova Scotia and located just 10 minutes outside the Town of Yarmouth. The Cape has been welcoming visitors since 1604, when Samuel de Champlain landed and named the area "Cap Forchu," meaning "Forked tongue of land."

Reviewed By PitaLemon - Melbourne, United States

It's not just a lighthouse to take photos. It is a beautiful location to hike and enjoy the cool breezes on a hot summer day. Nice people working in the gift shop, too.
