This two day wilderness experience pairs one of Nova Scotia’s most iconic provincial parks with a guided exploration of a dramatic waterfall slot canyon, anchored by a distinctive beachfront overnight stay.

Day one features a Valkyrie Hiker Experience along the McGahey Canyon Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. This 7.7 km loop includes approximately 318 m of elevation gain and is typically completed in 2.5 to 3 hours at a steady group pace. The trail moves through Acadian forest, along rugged shoreline, and toward the striking cliffscapes of the Bay of Fundy’s wild west coast. Expect varied terrain, defined climbs, and expansive coastal views. Distances and elevation figures are approximate and may vary with route conditions and GPS data.

Following the hike, the group settles into rustic wooden beach tents provided by Local Guy Adventures, set directly along the Bay of Fundy shoreline. With twin mattresses, beachside campfire pits, and nearby hot showers and facilities, the setting balances comfort with immersion, offering sunset views and the sound of the ocean overnight. Paddleboard rentals are also available on site for an additional fee of $25 per hour.

Day two shifts into a guided hike to George Fraser Brook Waterfall within the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark. This approximately 4 km trek leads through old growth forest into a striking slot canyon framed by towering rock walls and cascading falls, offering a dramatic contrast to the coastal terrain of day one.

Together, this itinerary delivers a cohesive blend of coastal wilderness, forested backcountry, and guided geological exploration in a thoughtfully curated two day experience.
