“I love the rawness & vastness of our outdoors.”
Angelo Spinazzola - Nova Scotian tour guide
Skyline Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park of Canada
Angelo’s Nova Scotia
I love everything about the outdoors in Nova Scotia. We are blessed with
awesome natural beauty all around this
province, from breathtaking ocean views
and stunning inland rivers and lakes
to pristine Acadian forests. The visitors who come here
really respond to that. Every trip is different. Every trip is
exhilarating. And when people come to visit, it can change
their entire attitude. After only a couple of hours outdoors,
they discover something new about themselves.
My favourite adventures
You can paddle for days exploring the islands in
St. Margaret’s Bay and Tangier. Or feel the
heartbeat of Cape Breton Island on the Bras
d’Or Lakes. At Point Michaud in Cape Breton,
along the Eastern Shore near Lawrencetown
and further south at White Point there is some
phenomenal surfing. Try whale-watching off
Digby, or back-country trekking through the
Tobeatic Wilderness area. Kejimkujik National
Park and National Historic Site of Canada offers a
stunning array of outdoor adventures.
