NEW BRUNSWICK
At New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy you can witness the phenomenon of the World’s Highest Tides. Twice daily, the tides drastically recede, unveiling the ocean’s deepest secrets. Just hours later, they rise again to the height of a four-storey building, as 100-billion tonnes of seawater return to these majestic shores.
Kayak on the very same spot where only hours earlier you left your footprints on the ocean floor. At low tide, stroll among the mysterious shadows of the towering ocean-carved Flowerpot Rocks that, at high tide, become tiny islands in the sea.
Whales of all types, Marine Wonders themselves, migrate to the Bay of Fundy to frolic and feed in their summer waters. Drawn by the rich waters of the Bay of Fundy, an eco-system teeming with an abundance of plankton and fish, the whales come to feed and court. You might even spot a rare Right whale, though fewer than 400 of these endangered creatures survive.
Explore the unspoiled Fundy coast by foot, bike, or car. Take a drive to Cape Enrage for a view of the bay so amazing, it’s declared by Frommer’s Guide as “the best view in Canada.”
This majestic St. John River surges forth from the legendary Republic of Madawaska through the towering Grand Falls Gorge, then meanders through New Brunswick’s heartland filled with beauty and bounty. Along the way, let the Longest Covered Bridge in the World at Hartland take you back to the 19th century when these charming wooden structures were known as “kissing bridges”. From the picturesque riverfront capital city of Fredericton, through the quaint communities of the lovely Lower River Passage, this grand waterway winds seaward through the curious wonder of the Reversing Falls in the city of Saint John.
