Pedal and Sea Adventures - Black Point, Nova Scotia

We had an amazing time on our Pedal And Sea adventure in Croatia (Trogir to Trogir). I never knew Croatia was so beautiful in docking into all the ports and learning about the history was incredible. The bike rides were quite hilly at times, but even though I am not an experienced cyclist (but in pretty good shape) and on a hybrid bike, I made it. My husband used an E bike and he loved that experience. The thing that made the trip exceptional were the tour guides, both Davor and Boyan. Some cyclists in our group were more confident than others but one of the guides led the pack and there was always the other at the end of the “peleton” making sure we were safe and helping us with any questionable crossings. They were always there for encouragement or even a snack that they provided. You could just tell they enjoy their job, were proud of their country, had lots of experience, and were so personable and fun. We will miss Croatia, but my husband and the other couple we traveled with all said we will miss them even more! We made new friends, twice got to jump off the boat into the crazy blue Adriatic Sea, and sometimes even took swims in our cycling shorts during stops if we felt like it at the recommendation of our guides. We learned about the ancient cities from tour guides at different stops. The boat was immaculate and top notch. The only negative I would say is the dining room is quite loud and they don’t offer eating outside of it (they did in YOLO just not our boat). Although the dining hall is beautiful, the windows are closed, and sometimes you just want the fresh air. We also got two twins when we had ordered a queen so I would make sure that doesn’t happen to you if you want to sleep together lol. But for sure 5 stars all around and will certainly do another Pedal And Sea adventures again!

We recently did the “Best of Both Coasts” tour in Nova Scotia which was led by Mark and Sang-gye and had an amazing week. This tour was more affordable than many comparable tours and the quality was excellent. The guides are very knowledgeable and kept us informed and hydrated. The lodgings were really good and the food excellent. My partner and I ride at different speeds and the tour was able to accommodate us. Some tour members were on e-bikes, some on road bikes and some on hybrid bikes. Great group of people. Trip leaders very knowledgeable about local history and wildlife.

I completed the Pedal & Sea Cabot trail guided tour last week. The weather was mixed, but the tour was fantastic. This tour covers an iconic ride in Canada with some challenging hills. While I took my own bike, Pedal & Sea provided e-bikes, hybrid and road bikes for most of the participants. The tour guides, Jacque and Brian, were like friends on the ride, however they did a lot of background work to keep the tour running smoothly. They made sure that everyone was having a good tour. They were terrific! I was very happy with the accommodation and meals for the entire tour. It was a fantastic week with a lot of wonderful people. Thank you!

Loved everything! Our guides Wally and Mark kept us safe and on track for this challenging (on hybrid bikes) bike tour. NF is a most awe inspiring place and enjoying the wildness on a bike is the best way to go. We just returned from our trip today and we are already looking in to a Croatia tour with Pedal And Sea. Thanks again for an awesome week.

Pedal and a Sea knows how to do a great bike tour. We have been on the tour of western Ireland in 2018 and the tour of Tuscany in 2019. Both were exceptional. The places we stayed, food we ate, company we shared made each trip memorable. Dana and his team give attention to every detail and take great care of you on their tours. We will keep coming back year after year.

Our guides, Sang Gye & Brain, were exceptional for our Cabot Trail adventure. Great team building was displayed toward the best through the most challenged riders. Wonderful road side support and guidance--greatly appreciated! Meals were fabulous and lodging varied per location, from high end to quaint. Isolated locations came with considerable ambiance and entertainment. A taste of local music and culture was available en route and at nightly stops. I highly recommend the guided adventure. It is well worth the extra charge.

I had the best trip down the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Rod and Nathan were excellent tour guides and hosts. We had a great time and were treated great. I would definitely take another tour with Pedal and Sea

I rode the Cabot Trail on a self-guided tour. Pedal and Sea provided the bike, route maps, made lodging reservations and moved my luggage each day. They also drove me from Halifax to Cape Breton and back. My road bike was a good quality Garneau aluminum road bike, they also have high end carbon bikes and ebikes. I've not taken a guided tour with them.

The Cabot Trail scenery is fantastic.
