I want to be over 1000 likes by the end of the summer so help me out if you can! Outdoor Adventures in Nova ScotiaWould you like some outdoor adventures this summer in Nova Scotia? Well, there are plenty in this beautiful province.Take a look at my list! Kayaking on the Bay of FundyThe Three Sisters is very well known along the Bay of Fundy. It is a rock formation at the tip of Cape Chignecto Park and is a destination for many kayakers. But this is not a place for the meek and mild! The weather can be unpredictable here so be prepared.The folks at NovaShores will provide everything you need for this adventure. And I promise you it will be an adventure kayaking near the Three Sisters! Not Since Moses Run on Bay of FundyHave you heard of this very unique event?You can run on the ocean floor at low tide on the Bay of Fundy! Yes, you can! Over 1000 runners of all ages will gather at Five Islands Provincial Park on August 21, 2016 to do just that. The Not Since Moses run is one of a kind. Where else can you run on the ocean floor? Whale watching off of Brier IslandI finally got the chance to visit Brier Island last summer. It was amazing and we loved it. We went whalewatching with Mariner Whale Cruises on their vessel, Chad & Sisters Two. It was a beauty of a day.The biggest thrill was seeing a Right Whale which is an endangered species. It was unbelievable. There is no adventure bigger than being only feet from these magnificent creatures. Riding the Harbour Hopper in HalifaxThis is a great way to experience Halifax. The fun part is that you get to see Halifax from the harbour and from land on the same vehicle. It is called the Harbour Hopper and it is an amphibious vehicle.It actually has some history attached to it from another part of the world. The Halifax Harbour Hopper is a renovated Vietnam war vehicle. Coastal Camping at Fishing CoveIf we want to get close to the elements and far away from people then this is the place. I hiked to Fishing Cove located in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park several years ago and loved it.The best part is that you can spend the night as well. There are wilderness camping sites right on the beach. However, you need to bring everything you need and take everything back with you. And a permit is required so contact the park beforehand. Sailing on the Bras'dor LakeIf you love to sail then you need to experience the Bras d'Or Lake on Cape Breton Island. This lake is known as Canada's Inland Sea so it is not to be taken lightly.The waves on this lake can become just as dangerous and thrilling as on the Atlantic Ocean. You can go for a sail on the Amoeba in Baddeck Bay which would be a relatively calm adventure. Or you can venture out onto the wide-open lake with Cape Breton Sailing Charters. Cape Breton Sailing offers several choices. You can even practice your sailing skills and take the helm and handle the sails. Camping at the Fortress of LouisbourgSome would say that the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island is full of ghosts from battles long ago and, of course, they come alive at night.Just being at the fortress at night would be fabulous. Can you imagine camping there! That would be special and, perhaps, a little spooky. But Fortress of Louisbourg camping would certainly be an adventure.
