I joked that I would give Calvin a single star because he has a sense of humour! We spent an incredible day on the water with Calvin. To our great surprise, we caught six species of fish and kept a nice amount of haddock, which Calvin cleaned for us after the tour. He was knowledgeable, funny, kind, and very accommodating. He is a wonderful person and I recommend him, as well as Tusket Island Tours, without hesitation. You will not be disappointed! 10/10!

A wonderful time with Simon who shares his passions in incredible landscapes. A favourite was the chowder served with music by the water. Flawless, I recommend even with a basic level of English.

We had the pleasure of meeting Simon and discovering the Tusket Islands region. The boat crossing was pleasant and the scenery was magnificent. Simon adapted to our schedule so that everything went as smoothly as possible.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible land and sea adventure with Tusket Island Tours! As a family (there were five of us, with young children aged 20 months, 4, and 5 years old), Simon gave us the authentic local experience we were looking for. The 30-minute boat ride to Big Tusket Island was perfect for our little ones. We spotted seals along the way and learned how to haul up a real lobster trap, discovering the daily life of fishermen. Thanks to Simon's knowledge and kindness, the excursion was both informative and fun for everyone. Once on the island, the children were over the moon with the sandbox and endless space to explore, while we admired the breathtaking scenery. Simon's hospitality was exceptional: guitar music, stories, and that famous seafood chowder! A mix of local seafood (scallops, haddock, potatoes) that you really have to taste to believe. This tour offers a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and local charm. Simon's passion for his region and his sincere care for his guests are palpable. This is exactly the kind of experience that makes travelling with young children not only possible, but absolutely wonderful. If you are visiting Wedgeport and want to discover the authentic soul of Nova Scotia, don't miss this tour. Highly recommended for families! Thank you for this unforgettable day, Simon!
