Join Captain Hal for an Authentic Full-Day Lobster Fishing Experience on the Northumberland Strait


Experience the life of a local fisherman by joining Captain Hal and his crew at Caribou Fishermen's Wharf. You will board the Janis Dian, a working fishing vessel, for an immersive day on the Northumberland Strait. The morning begins with a safety briefing and a tour of the boat, where you will have the chance to try on a survival suit. This preparation ensures that every guest is ready to participate in the daily operations of a professional lobster fishing crew.


As the boat departs the wharf, you will be treated to a spectacular sunrise over the Strait, with the calm waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the morning sky. This peaceful start to the day offers a unique perspective on the maritime environment. As you sail toward the fishing grounds, Captain Hal shares stories of his life at sea, providing context for the hard work and dedication that goes into every single day of the lobstering season in Nova Scotia.


Once on the fishing grounds, you will become part of the team. Observe and assist as the crew hauls traps, measures and picks lobsters, baits the gear, and bands the catch. Captain Hal is passionate about sustainable fishing and will explain the conservation efforts that protect the Northumberland Strait’s ecosystem. This hands-on experience provides a deep, meaningful connection to the local fishing culture and the traditions that have sustained these coastal communities for many generations of hardworking families.


The day concludes with a return to the wharf, where you will see the local fishermen selling their catch and preparing their vessels for the next day. Each participant leaves with two live Northumberland Strait lobsters, a tangible souvenir of their hard work. This immersive tour offers more than just a boat ride; it provides a deep appreciation for local heritage, maritime traditions, and the natural beauty of the coast, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.
