Bird watching

Learning about birds in a very natural setting.
This is an awesome place to go and spend some time learning about all the different birds of prey. They have flying demonstrations everyday and this is worthwhile visiting for all ages. You can even purchase an up close and personal closeness with the birds in the flying demonstration.

Sightseeing

This is a historic wooden trestle bridge that is the most amazing thing to see. This was fully restored by the community and is visited by many tourists and locals. You can walk the trestle or bike to the trestle via the Trans Canada trail.

You can rent kayaks right here in Maple bay and explore the bay and Birds eye cove. Wander around the boats at the marina, watch for wildlife such as seals, otters and lots of birds. They have a full moon midnight kayak trip where you can see the bioluminescence in the water. Really cool trip to do.

This is a brand new attraction that just opened in July 2021. We have taken our visitors from out of town and it is so worth going. Bring a lunch if it’s a nice day as they have lots of picnic tables and chairs and just relax and enjoy the views. All ages and abilities can enjoy as this is wheelchair friendly too. We brought my 97 yr old mother in law in a wheelchair and she loved it. There’s even a huge slide but we didn’t send her down the slide!
