The Canso Archipelago
Join us on our last multi-day tour of the season as we meander about this fascinating archipelago, one of the most isolated coastal regions of the province. It is a stark and compelling landscape highlighting huge glacial boulders perched precariously, overlooking the uninhabited offshore islands. Shallow water covers the white bedrock in sheltered lagoons where the sea becomes a brilliant turquoise more reminiscent of the Carabbean than the North Atlantic and white sand beaches inhabit the protected coves. Even more impressive than the familiar Peggys Cove [but without the people]. This is a memorable journey.
5 Day Tour: August 27-31
