Oak Island at Golden Hour?

Our weekend tours are sold out through September, but we’ve just added an evening tour on Wednesday, June 10th — a rare chance to see the island in a completely different light.

And to everyone who joined us this weekend: thank you. The weather was on our side, and we caught some great moments out there. A few of our favourites below.

It’s been a perfect Nova Scotia weekend here on Oak Island! So many excited visitors getting to experience it for the first time… it’s great to see the returning faces too!

If you are looking for something to do on the holiday tomorrow, we still have a few sets of tickets left for our 1pm tour. Otherwise we’re sold out until mid September!

Another lovely weekend on Oak Island (okay, maybe the weather could have been a little nicer today!)

Here’s a bunch of moments we captured of people across the island over the last two days!

Thank you to everyone who has come to experience the legend over the last two weeks. Don’t forget to send us your photos to [email protected] if you want to have them shared!

Only one photo from today because the weather was less cooperative and the photographer (me) will melt. It was great to have Dan back for his first tours though!

We’ve opened up some extra spots in May so that more of you can visit the Island. Check them out on our site oakislandlegend.com

Reminder to check the weather before coming for your tour. Sometimes a rain jacket or sweater is needed!

Otherwise thank you to everyone who visited us for our first weekend back open! It’s wonderful hearing your stories and how Oak Island has impacted your life. We can’t wait for next weekend.

What a spectacular day today has been! Sunny, warm and full of celebration. Birthdays, anniversaries, so many special moments marked by a visit to Oak Island.

It is great to be back open!

It’s official. The first tour went off today! The weather could have been better, but Oak Island is still Oak Island even when it’s wet!

We were excited to welcome our first official guests to the interpretive centre. What a way to celebrate a 50th birthday!

We have a packed weekend ahead of us… we’re going to start posting stories too! Stay tuned!

We’re back! Tomorrow will be the first public tour of the season!

Today has had a lot of final preparations taking place. The Interpretive Centre is ready to go. The new concession stand on the island is ready for you too.

We’ve just sent new staff and some of our tourism partners on a tour so they can experience Oak Island themselves!

For those of you can’t be here, enjoy the photos… and your first peek inside the new Interpretive Centre!
