Sable Island has all the makings of a myth: a forty one kilometers long sandbar, three hundred kilometres southeast of Halifax, known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
Now a research and rescue station, the remote and otherworldly island was recently named a national park by the Government of Canada. A legend for centuries, Sable Island beckons the intrepid adventurer for a closer look at its many mysteries on a unique Canadian Arctic expedition cruise.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
