Bay of Fundy

Unbeatable, Unbelievable and Unforgettable!

Enjoy a unique opportunity to explore the site of the highest tides in the world, Burntcoat Head Park, with an extreme tidal range of up to 53.6 feet. Twice daily the Bay of Fundy fills and empties 160 billion tons of water, a feat of nature recognized by the Guinness World Records. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from the Port of Halifax to Maitland, Nova Scotia.

Upon arrival enjoy a welcome reception, before being led down to the ocean floor tour with a local guide. Tiptoe through the periwinkles, search for fossils and when the tide is out, see the creatures left behind. You will need to avoid wading in the tidal pools or stepping on the colonies of shells found on the ocean floor because what looks like an empty shell could be home to a Hermit Crab. Feel free to pick up the shore life, however, remember to put it gently back where you found it…and be careful as some of the shore life can pinch or nip you!

Afterwards enjoy a unique picnic dining experience featuring local cuisine on the edge of the Bay of Fundy. Then, re-board your mini coach to head for a Tidal Bore Rafting Adventure.

Tidal Bore Rafting

This tour starts slow but finishes fast. We'll start on the lazy outgoing tide to meet the tidal bore. Everything is still and picturesque. The water level is low and trickles in between huge sandbars. But one wave will change it all. The tidal bore will suddenly reverse the river as if you released a dam! We ride and splash through the tidal bore. The trip is action-packed all the way back through standing waves ranging in height from 3 to 10 feet tall!

**Included: Rafting roller coaster rapids, mud-sliding, HOT showers, and post-tour snacks and refreshments
