We are excited to be running day tour and instructional programs out of Pictou Lodge Resort situated on the picturesque shores of the Northumberland Strait. Pictou Lodge Resort is one of Nova Scotia’s remarkable hidden gems. Lighthouses, seal colonies, pristine beaches and more are within a day’s journey from the lodge as well as the historic village of Pictou. These tours will allow us to explore the beautiful coastline of the North Shore that greeted the first settlers of New Scotland.
