Be prepared to get wet in places you didn't even know you had, and definitely don't wear anything that you can't do without. Don't worry about trying to wear water-wear or protective gear because Adventure Tours will provide you with full rain-gear, rubber boots, life-jacket and a helmet upon your arrival. All you need to worry about is holding and trying not to swallow too much water :) You'll want to call in advance to find out when is a good time to go. Apparently they can determine the size of the waves based on the fullness of the moon - the fuller the moon, the crazier the rafting experience. Chances are that your boat will not flip over, however, there's a fair chance that somebody may fall out, this happens frequently and is not a big deal. In addition to the rafting you'll also have a chance to go mud-sliding, where you'll get ridiculously dirty and have a great time. After the rafting and mudslinging is over and you've worked up an appetite, Adventure Tours provides you with a BBQ and beverages, and you have a chance to sit down, relax and dry, or if you prefer, go for a dip in their swimming pool. You're guaranteed to have a great time!

We laughed so hard riding the waves and being pummeled with the water. Such a fabulous way to spend a day in this beautiful part of Nova Scotia. I would highly recommend this trip, you and old alike.... Anyone up for an adventure will not be disappointed.

You then make a short walk down to the receded bay to start the adventure. We were so lucky to have Tessa as our guide! She is a geologist and taught us so much about the rocks/formations we passed and made sure we had such a great time! When we hit those waves our raft was more like a tub it was so filled with water, but it was hilarious. After you get back the team is ready with hot showers, snacks and hot chocolate. As a side note - if you didn't want to wear your own shoes during the trip, they have heaps from those people left behind. Understandable, I left mine too after the amazing time in the water and the mud sliding. Will update with pics when they send us the link. Worth every cent!

He's owned the business since 2010. Wow! His wife, Patty was amazing giving us all kinds of information about what was happening in and around the area. The tour was about 2 hours but Morgan asked if we were on a time constraint. We said no so we took us to a special spot that took an extra half an hour to do some mudsliding. So much fun! We let our inner child loose and celebrated our good friend Brian's 69th birthday today. The Rapids were amazing! So cool to have a natural wonder take you on on an amusement park ride We had rafted at the other places, but this is definitely the one to go to. Easy to find great facilities. Easy to get down to the water and if you're disabled they'll help you get down in one of their ATVs

Although sometimes, they do not seem to have any etiquette when pulling up to the beaches on the island. The take the whole beach, so no one else can access the shoreline.

I followed up with them via email and called them several times without any response. I had to finally resort to saying I would be reporting them to the better business bureau and my banking institution prior to getting a response re: the refund. They said it would take 10-15 days. Today is the 15th day and there is still no refund. I emailed again and they said the refund will take up to 45 days - THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I spoke with PayPal and they said NO refund process has been initiated. I will be reporting them in order to recover the refund. This is a time consuming process which should not be this delayed/elongated and I am out hundreds of dollars until the refund is processed (which who knows when that will be). I would honestly suggest not booking with them in the first place.

This was a great experience, with a solid staff. Jason was our guide, and he was stellar…read more(friendly, funny, knowledgeable). I was lucky to get paired with a couple (only 3 guests on the boat) that were up for as wild a ride as mother nature & Jason were willing to provide. It was a brisk June morning, and the water was chilly (especially when it splashes down your back), but the survival suits made a huge difference for post dousing warm-up. We saw well over a dozen eagles, amongst other feathered friends. All the tidal bore companies are off the beaten path a bit, so opt for the slightly longer trip at only an extra $20/pp (it's worth it). The hot chocolate / coffee / cookies after the trip were a welcome treat. They have towels if you need'm for post-trip showers. Jason said the waves were the highest he'd seen thus far this year, which was great. The boat trip wasn't quite as wild as I was expecting (compared to the intensity of some white-water rafting), but a very good time. They have the estimated wave intensity schedule posted on their website, pay close attention to that when planning your trip (should you want more or less chaos). If you have a wet suit (or water shoes), you may want to bring with you, as the water can be cold (my feet were very chilly). If you're susceptible to cold, this may not be the trip for you (but ambient & water temperatures vary). If I were to make suggestions to the owner, I'd propose bringing a canister of hot chocolate and of coffee to hand out to guests during a lull (maybe by the bridge), to help warm people up on the cooler days; and maybe gloves with rubber grips, as holding onto the ropes for a long time in cold water can chaff waterlogged hands/fingers.

Seaside view, nice owners, nice restrooms and showers, a nightly campfire and mussel feast. Here are the reasons I have trouble liking this place.

None of this stuff was available when we arrived. It was its just us in a camper paying full price ad we had it's nothing to do for 2 days. We left early because of this reason. Total Suck
