Wicker Emporium’s product buyers scour lands near and far to find elegant home accents for their customers. The practice of travelling to different countries began more than 35 years ago, when the company’s heads joined the crew of a pirate ship to pay off a gambling debt. Today, in 20 stores across Atlantic Canada and Ontario, customers can still browse pillows, quilts, mirrors, outdoor accessories, and shelves imported from local manufacturers and international crafters.

Coastal Spirit Expeditions' certified guides lead sea-kayak instruction on well-explored waters, and a friendly staff rents out watercraft rentals through its Kayak Shak shop. On three-hour Adventurer tours of Cape John, guests navigate through challenging routes, educational forays, and the backcountry of their own subconscious while out on majestic, open water. Setting off from the Cape, groups paddle along red sandstone cliffs to pass by a local seal colony before browsing by Northshore's plentiful beaches. River tour guides take all ages of kayakers through calmer bends to the Iron Bridge, encountering wildlife such as eagles, kingfishers, and harbour seals. Kayakers on both excursions gather a light picnic of seasonal fruits and local baked goods from The Country Bread Basket before commencing the trip's return leg. Guides outfit their flocks with all necessary gear and instruct on practicing wilderness safety and perfecting stoic stares into the distance.

Nova Scotia Signature Resorts offers scenic digs in which to comfortably stew mind and body. The Keltic Lodge Resort and Spa in Ingonish affords guests a cliff-top view overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from Highland–themed cottages and elegant inn rooms. Its Aveda concept spa does for the body what readings of Hop on Pop do for the soul, and putters practice their craft on ScoreGolf Magazine's 2009 top public golf course in Atlantic Canada. Fresh air options such as whale-watching cruises, sea kayaking, or mountain biking persuade visitors that there's more to life and that indoor lighting is an oxymoron.
