Overview

Ever wonder how to catch a lobster?​

Hop aboard a real Northumberland Strait fishing boat for a truly authentic Nova Scotia experience.

  • Your Discover The Strait Love Lobster experience begins as soon as you arrive at an authentic Nova Scotia fishing wharf. Take in the sights and sounds as you stroll down the dock to meet your captain on their Northumberland Strait fishing boat.
  • Before leaving the dock, your captain will provide a tour of their boat, a safety briefing, and description of the course you’re about to set sail.
  • You’ll cruise to your captain’s fishing grounds where they will haul a lobster trap from the ocean floor, and share a lifetime of knowledge about fishing on the Northumberland Strait.

  • Then, enjoy a delicious lobster roll picnic lunch as you cruise Nova Scotia’s scenic north shore coastline.
