Zodiac Boat Tours

Due to new government regulations, boat tours have been temporarily suspended. The Ovens is awaiting paperwork from Ottawa before resuming boat tours. Please call the office at (902) 766-4621 for updated information.

When the Chapin family purchased the park in 1987, the first thing they did was buy a Zodiac, one of those inflatable boats (made famous by Jacques Cousteau) with a marine engine on it. They would use it to go cod fishing and to show family and friends the spectacular beauty of the Sea Caves at Ovens Natural Park. It was (and is) the best vantage point from which to look at the majesty of the rock structures.

Since then, our Zodiac Boat Tours have become one of the favourite attractions at the park.

See the famous Ovens Sea Caves up close from the safety of an inflatable boat. Our experienced guides will explain the fascinating geological events that created the caves.

Tours from mid June until September.
