Check out our most recent adventures and places we have explored.
Paddling Nova Scotia’s Three Sisters
Paddling Cape Chignecto’s dramatic coastline to explore the Three Sisters, ancient sea stacks surrounded by towering cliffs, sea arches, caves, and Mi’kmaw legend.
Cocagne Island Paddle
Found in the shallow waters of the Northumberland Strait, Cocagne Island is a low-lying landform measuring just 4.5 kilometres long and no more than 1.0 kilometre at its widest. Composed of ancient sandstone eroded over time, the island contains many secluded beaches and striking rock formations. Throughout its long history, the island bore witness to Mi’kmaq, Acadian, and English settlement, and later became one of the last islands in New Brunswick to be abandoned.
Mount Carleton: Highest Point in the Maritime Provinces
Hiking the Maritime Province’s highest peak in Northern New Brunswick.
Dingle to Dublin
From Dingle’s rugged headlands and historic sites, our route north and east carried us through ferry crossings, medieval ruins, and lively towns before returning to Dublin with a deeper appreciation for Ireland’s layered landscapes and enduring heritage.
The Dingle Peninsula
On the Dingle Peninsula, every bend in the road unveils spectacular coastal panoramas, windswept mountains, and the timeless interplay of land and sea that defines the Wild Atlantic Way.
The Irish Copper Coast, Cork, & Castlemaine
Following the rugged Copper Coast southward into Cork and onward to Castlemaine, the route weaves dramatic Atlantic vistas with traces of Ireland’s industrial and maritime past.
Dublin to Cashel
A journey from Dublin into Ireland’s ancient heartland reveals the dramatic ruins of Cashel and surrounding rural landscapes that embody centuries of Gaelic and Norman history.
Îles-de-la-Madeleine in May
Exploring Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Magdalen Islands), an off-the-beaten-path archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence where sweeping sandy beaches, dramatic coastlines, and the unique culture of the Madelinots come together to create one of the region’s most interesting landscapes.
In 2024 we set out on our journey to Iceland, a place often described as the land of fire and ice, but which proved to be so much more—an island where every bend in the road revealed new wonders, both natural and cultural. Joined by some good friends we set out on an 11-day road trip through Iceland, first exploring the inner Golden Circle and back roads, before driving the country’s scenic Ring Road. As we were travelling in the first couple of weeks of September, we attempted to tent when possible, but were often easily tempted into last-minute accommodations that were not a tent when the weather turned for the worse (which it does quite regularly in Iceland).
