Oak Island and South Shore Coastline Tour
NOTE: The Oak Island Visitor Centre will remain closed for 2023. *Followers and Fans have likely noticed that during the last several years, the Oak Island Interpretive Centre has been repurposed to provide space for the Archaeology Team and, more recently, to house the fantastic new diagnostic equipment.
For these reasons, the Interpretive Centre has not been open to the public and therefore must remain closed during 2023. For full details on this announcement by the owners of the island, please visit this link.
Due to the island being closed, our Oak Island Tour can be modified to explore the local areas of Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester. Additionally, we can arrange or recommend seeing Oak Island by boat. Please contact us for more details. Thank you for your understanding.
