Shubie river wranglers eagle rescue

The bald eagles on the Shubenacadie river are a huge part in helping us deliver such great tours every day, so it was nice to be able to help one out when it needed a hand. Our close encounter only added to the enormous amount of respect we already had for these incredible birds.

What started as a normal day turned into a wild and unique Shubenacadie experience. We were out rafting when we came across an injured eagle on the sandbar. After seeing this eagle struggle to take off from the sandbar we knew something was wrong. After several failed attempts to fly off the sand bar, the eagle found himself caught in the incoming tide and quickly swept away by the tidal bore. We watched and tried to position ourselves down the river and close enough to the eagle to lend a hand however we could. Despite continuing to struggle and encountering some quite large waves, it was able to maintain its upright posture. Now, we had a strong sense that the eagle had sustained a severe injury that prevented him from taking flight. We managed to get him into the boat safely and we did our best to keep him at ease as we travelled back to our rafting location. Once we arrived back to our site @hopeforwildlife arrived to take the eagle and provide him with the care he required. The eagle recovered completely from its injuries and was eventually released to its natural environment.

Best waves 10/10 We went as a staff event and I can say I think evenyone had a blast! The waves were a lot of fun and Gabe was an excellent guide, my face was sore from laughing so much. We went later in September, it was amazing how warm the water was, I recommend a wet suit for the air if you have one for this time of year but really, they'll keep you so entertained that you wont even think of the cold!

Rough, Wet, and Dirty - the Best Ride of My Life These guys are the BEST! I’m writing this review heading home after rafting with my sister, her friend, and our dad to celebrate my sister’s 25th birthday. We had the privilege of having both Emmett and Matt as our drivers. The tour was filled with tons of BOREing knowledge (it was actually quite interesting) and an abundance of funny jokes. We stopped for mud sliding, we got slapped with water and rocked by the waves and we had lots of laughs. Matt lead us through most of the tour. He was born to take people out on the Shubenacadie River, guys. I’m telling you, this is his calling (Unless he decides to go big in the standup comedy world). If you are at all scared or nervous, there’s no need to be. From the moment we got there we were with friends. Matt and Emmett were both professional and their confidence, calmness, and humour made it feel like we were out for a cruise with old pals. Oh, I forgot to mention... today is also when hurricane Teddy began to hit us and we were still able to go on our adventure. There wasn’t a single moment where I didn’t feel safe! I’m sad that our adventure is over. I will definitely be back again! Much love for these guys.

Magic Mike There's never a dull moment on the boat. He either had us in the middle of the action or bent over laughing. Quick on his feet and hard to catch off guard, there's definitely some magic to Mike. We were hanging on tight and soaked while he calmly stood in the middle of the boat without a hair out of place. He has a certain sense of humor that has to be experienced to understand. This is a must do trip especially with Mike at the wheel.

Lots of fun Had a lot of fun. The beginning of the tour is calm so you get to take in the sights. When the tide comes in that's when the fun starts! I would absolutely do this again.

Awesome Experience!! We had so much fun!! Emmett was great and lots of fun. The mud sliding added so much to the experience. There was plenty of room on the boat and at no time was it scary...just all fun! Emmett was very knowledgeable about the area and the tides. From start to finish it was a great experience! Highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed.
