welcome from the owners of oak island, nova scotia.

The 2019 tour season is currently being organized.  Tours will be conducted on weekends and the final schedule will be announced by February 18th.  It is the goal of the owners, tour guides, volunteers and staff to provide the highest quality experience to as many people as possible.  Each year, we adjust the tour offerings to meet this goal. 

Last year, the afternoon 50 person semi-private tour was very popular.  For 2019, it will be renamed Small Public Tour for 50 people and will be available in the morning and afternoon, increasing tour opportunities by approximately 30%. 

The Friends of Oak Island Society will be returning to host the Large Public Tours for 125 people and will be offering an additional weekend of tours.

The online reservation system links will be listed on this page.  Large public tour tickets (125/tour) will go on sale March 1st and the Small Public tour tickets (50/tour) will go on sale March 2nd.

Thank you for your interest and support.
Oak Island is a privately owned island.  The only way to tour Oak Island is with a  knowledgeable tour guide on a pre-booked weekend tour. The Interpretation Centre will re-open May 13, 2019.   Revenues from the tours are used to enhance the Interpretative Centre displays and exhibits.  The schedule will be announced February 18th.
