We live here. That is the whole pitch.

Local Guy Adventures is a guided tour operator within the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark, along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. We run guided hikes to waterfalls and slot canyons, fat bike tours that ride the sea floor at low water, and paddleboard rentals and beach tents at Spencers Island.

This coastline is the home of the Mi'kmaq people and of early settlers. It has the highest recorded tides in the world, cliffs that preserve lava flows from 200 million years ago, and lush vineyards an hour up the road. We think it is the most interesting stretch of shore in the province, and we would rather show you than tell you.

We live in one of the most beautiful places on the Bay of Fundy, and would love to share our favourite places to explore along this coastline with you.

Small groups, built around you

We book small group tours that are customised to your interests and fitness levels. If a five kilometre bike ride sounds like your style, we know just the route — you are going to love it. Oh wait, you meant fifty. Sounds good, no problem, buckle up.

Fat bike rides run two to eight people. Hikes run two to ten. That is deliberate: it keeps the day flexible, and it means your guide is actually talking to you rather than a crowd.

Bookings are made by phone or email. Every adventure page shows the days that work and roughly when each one starts; we confirm the exact time with you when you book.

Who takes you out

Your guide is a working lobster fisherman who grew up on this shore. The stories about what it is like to fish the highest tides on earth are not researched, they are just what happened last season. Our guides are also the people who cut and maintain these trails.
