Guided side-by-side trail rides

tour· Mira Road, NS · $$$ · ★ 4.90 (113 reviews)

  • Mixed terrain — gravel forest road, single track, and lookouts
  • Mud is part of the deal, especially after rain
  • Small groups, radio-equipped guides

Don't miss

  • The Mira River viewpoints on the longer rides
  • A shoreline lunch stop on the all-day option
  • Beaver dams and eagle sightings in the wetland sections

Good to know

  • Drivers need a valid licence; passengers can be younger (ask for age min)
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind ruining
  • Operates roughly May through October
  • Booking ahead essential

Pair it with

  • A swim at Mira Provincial Park afterwards
  • Dinner at Governors Pub & Eatery in Sydney
  • A morning at the Fortress of Louisbourg the next day
