Existing as a large sand island 300km off of the coast of Nova Scotia it has changed, eroded and adapted over time to be what it is today. Home to numerous flora and fauna including lots of seabirds, the largest colony of grey seals numbering over 400,000 and is also home to over 500 wild horses. Due to it's location however it is a nearly impossible island to visit because of weather, costs and more. However it can be reachable via helicopter, plane or boat.
The island also has a storied past of many shipwrecks taking place there with roughly 300+ documented since the 1500s with the last one taking place in 2001.
Before this trip I had never even considered Sable Island being a place that I would ever be able to visit. Thanks to One Ocean Expeditions that all changed. July 2019 I sailed with them on their Fins and Fiddles tour around the Gulf of St Lawrence and to Sable Island. On our 11 day cruise we visited Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, Percé and Bonaventure Island in Quebec, the Magdalen Islands, Anticosti Island, Gros Morne National Park, La Poile Bay, and St. Pierre et Miquelon. For me without a doubt Sable Island was my favorite stop of all. I would highly recommend that everyone should add Sable Island to their bucket list.
