My trip to Sable with Picture Perfect Tours was incredible. Absolutely met and exceeded my high expectations. It's an incredible spot, and Geordie was a fantastic guide. Cannot recommend strongly enough!
I traveled to Sable Island with Picture Perfect Tours and it was the experience of a lifetime! This remote barrier island is situated approximately 322 kilometers off the coast of Nova Scotia. It can only be accessed by plane, boat, or helicopter. Pack a lunch, water, snacks, sunscreen, and your sense of adventure. Prepared to be awed by the abundant seals, ponies, and history of the island. Contact Geordie Mott with Picture Perfect Tours. You will not be disappointed.
Geordie is an incredible guide and host. We had to make some last minute choices and alterations to the tour due to approaching bad weather but Geordie made it all work perfectly. Our group’s ages ranged by 30 years and everyone was taken care of and wonderfully engaged. Also, we saw a TON of horses. Beautiful experience all in all. Would recommend it to anyone.
Sable Island...what an experience! From the helicopter ride over to the amazing landscape and of course the beautiful horses. I loved every minute of it. Geordie was a great guide. I can not recommend this day trip enough. It is a must do bucket list item.
I was beyond excited that I finally got the chance to check Sable Island off my bucket list. A life goal that I have had since I was a little girl. It was well worth it. The natural raw beauty of the island is astounding. You could literally explore for days. The trip was well planned and exceptionally organized, by Picture Perfect Tours. Geordie is a fantastic tour guide. You can tell he has a great passion for, and knowledge of the island. He clearly loves what he does. I would highly recommend that if you are at all curious about seeing unique natural beauty and wildlife that few people ever get to experience and explore, and if maybe have a taste for intriguing history, that you take the opportunity to make the trip over to Sable Island with Picture Perfect Tours.
A lot of people will find it expensive to take this tour and I appreciate that. But if you can afford it GO! Some things can’t be measured in dollars and cents and this is one of them. This is a stellar tour. At the age of 85 I couldn’t believe what I learned besides what I saw. Back to the money. Like I told my daughter who came with me. Didn’t cost me a cent. I just used some of her inheritance. Sable Island isn’t going anywhere so start saving now.
Thanks to Geordie and Picture Perfect Tours for making my birthday bucket list adventure to Sable Island an incredibly special day that I won't soon forget. Geordie's personal connection to the Island, his gifts as a storyteller and photographer, and his vast knowledge of the horses, the terrain, and the many treasures waiting to be discovered made our day picture perfect. Highly recommend Geordie and Picture Perfect Tours for an an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experience (well maybe more than once:)
A once in a lifetime experience that left me enlightened, immersed and connected forever to Sable Island. Geordie curated an experience through his detailed knowledge of the Island, its history and insight regarding guiding us to locations that demonstrated the island’s rich history, storylines and incredible photographs. I loved Geordie’s sharing of his personal family connection to Sable Island, detailed historical imagery he has collected, along with sharing his expertise in capturing amazing images.
The Magic of Sable Island - I had always dreamed about going to Sable Island since I was a kid but never imagined that I would ever get there. This October my dream came true and I spent a magical day on the island exploring and photographing the horses, seals, all things nature and learning about the past and present. Geordie was a fantastic guide, educator and photographer and shared his knowledge of the island and its history as we toured the island. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that can make it. Be prepared for walking in sand but it is well worth the effort! A dream come true.
What a wonderful trip to Sable Island! The tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and took wonderful photographs of our adventure! I had never been on a helicopter before and so was at first nervous but within just a few moments and with the spectacular views below, I felt comfortable and excited for the journey. Once there, we were greeted by Parks staff and then were taken to a little sun room to drop off our lunches and belongings. A splendid bonus was being taken on a guided tour by the island biologist Zoe Lucas who really helped deepen our understanding of the fragile ecosystems on the island. I’ve always wanted to dance on Sable Island and was able to take a few moments to do just that. It was a dream come true! The other travellers on the tour were a very interesting group and the whole day was spectacular! Many thanks to Picture Perfect Tours for a wonderful adventure!
An Enchanting Journey to Sable Island Last week, I reached out to Picture Perfect Tours for information about Sable Island, as I was contemplating a visit towards the end of October. Geordie, the owner, was incredibly knowledgeable and patiently addressed all my queries. His enthusiasm for Sable Island was infectious, and he offered some fantastic recommendations. To my surprise, Geordie informed me of two last-minute cancellations for the upcoming weekend, just two days away. Without hesitation, I secured time off from work and hastily made plans for the trip. Our departure from Halifax was slightly delayed due to fog, but once we were in the air, the helicopter ride itself was a remarkable experience, with smooth sailing and breathtaking views. During our flight over the island, we were treated to the sight of horses and groups of seals basking on the beach. Upon arrival on the island, the staff provided us with a brief orientation, outlining the dos and don'ts for our visit, ensuring both our safety and the preservation of the island's fragile ecosystem. Our journey began as a group, strolling through the picturesque dunes of Sable Island. Geordie, our guide, shared fascinating insights into the local ecosystem and the island's rich history. It didn't take long before we encountered the iconic Sable Island horses. Maintaining a respectful distance, I managed to capture some truly remarkable photographs of these majestic creatures. As the group paused to observe the horses quenching their thirst at a watering hole, I ventured off solo to explore further, which led to even more enchanting encounters with these beautiful horses. Later in the day, our group was fortunate enough to spot a colony of seals sunbathing on the sandy shores, adding another dimension to our wildlife experience. All in all, the trip was nothing short of incredible. Time seemed to slip through our fingers, and before we knew it, it was time to bid farewell to this enchanting island. It felt as though the entire experience had passed in the blink of an eye. For anyone contemplating a journey to Sable Island, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Geordie at Picture Perfect Tours. His expertise and guidance were instrumental in making this adventure an unforgettable one.
Geordie is everything you want from a photography tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the geography, culture, and history of Nova Scotia. He is professional, informative, and pleasant. While he has a plan for the tour, he is flexible and accommodates his client’s interests and priorities. He also provides excellent recommendations for additional places to visit. Geordie is an excellent photographer and a patient teacher. During our tour, he taught my wife and me new techniques and ways to make the most of our camera’s capabilities. His transportation was comfortable, roomy, and clean. It’s clear Geordie enjoys his work - We had a wonderful time! Without reservation, I highly recommend Picture Perfect Tours!
Amazing trip! SI is so unspoiled and beautiful. Lots of horses and seals. PPT was a great host and communication was awesome. Many thanks!
Gordie the owner of the company is wonderful to work with. He answered all my questions and the travel information that he provided was exactly what I needed. Our guide Charles was the best. Knowledgeable, kind and attentive. Great to spend the day with. I will return to Sable with Gordie’s company as soon as I can get away again!
July 27th was the realization of a lifelong dream to go to Sable Island after reading about it in National Geographic as a kid in the early 70s, and now after having been there I can say it was worth the wait and every penny spent. This was all made possible by Geordie Mott owner of Picture Perfect Tours, Geordie is a relaxed and informative guide with intimate knowledge of the island and he lead us on a day long hike along the horse trails and stretches of white sand beach explaining about the flora and fauna as we went, the weather was great, the scenery captivating, the wild horses and grey seals were abundant making for excellent photo opportunities and memories that will last a lifetime, however the desire to return has already started, the winter version looks very interesting, also if you happen to leave your phone on the helicopter after the tour Geordie can help with that too. Very Highly Recommended.
This expedition was to the hard to get to and very unique sable island. Geordie the owner of Picture Perfect is an excellent host that has professional photo level knowledge to help from the pro photographer to the beginner to capture that special horse and other images......delighted to recommend this tour and would love to go again
Our Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove tour with Geordie was the highlight of our cruise. We are so lucky to have Geordie as our tour guide. Communicating and coordinating with him was very smooth from the start. He responded back to all our inquiries and provided detailed information. He was very welcoming and engaging. He provided us with soda and water, made sure we are comfortable and was very flexible with the itinerary. All 10 of us in the group had a wonderful time. We will definitely tour with Geordie again next time.
I am so very pleased I chose Picture Perfect Tours and Geordie, who made my “trip of a lifetime” to Sable Island come true. It was even more than I hoped for. Geordie anticipated everything and even saved me from a very angry Tern!
Excellent guided tour of Sable Island it was everything and more than I expected!
Geordie’s tour of Sable Island was incredible! A spectacular location for sure, but Geordie made the difference. Attention to details, thorough preparation and a calm approach all contributed to a day that will be remembered for a lifetime. Picture Perfect Tours has my highest recommendation.
The staff were amazing and really made excursion a ton of fun and our tour guy gave us some great tips on some neat photo tricks.
Geordie is an exceptional guide, knowledgeable, flexible, enthusiastic and engaging. He is passionate about Nova Scotia, and a wonderful photographer who helped us see in landscapes and historic buildings in new ways. He recommended wonderful restaurants, connected us with local experts and remains infinitely curious about more places to explore. We loved being with him. It was a great trip!
Geordie gave our group a terrific introduction to the beauty and history of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. What sets Geordie apart is his thoughtfulness and attention to details. He also was very flexible, changing our itinerary when the mood of our group changed. I would highly recommend Picture Perfect Tours to anyone. There are not enough stars in a five star rating.
We’ve hired Picture perfect tours a few times and they’re always fabulous. The guides are knowledge in both camera tricks and history. Your tour will be filled with so many helpful hints and beautiful landscapes you will be blown away. Nova Scotia is already beautiful and it’s enhanced by Geordie’s expertise. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go again.
Geordie was a great host for our girls weekend. Very professional, picked us up at the airport and had shared a great itinerary ahead of time so we knew what to expect. Great pace and visit times along the coast en route to our hotel destination at White Point. Above and beyond service with lobster delivery and a cooking pot so we could cook on the grill! Definitely recommend and will use his services again. Thank you Geordie!
An outstanding trip to Sable Island! Geordie was organized, knowledgeable and easygoing. Our pilot Debbie was very professional and friendly. Greg from Parks Canada was very informative & great story teller. .Perfect day with the good fortune of seeing lots of horses, seals and birds. Trip of a lifetime in our own backyard!
Highly recommended tour co. Professional and dedicated to their guests experiences.
Geordie was amazing! My wife and I had a great time out with him around Peggy's Cove. He was patient and teaching some of the other tourists how to use their cameras, he even taught me a cool iPhone photography trick! Highly recommend.
