Go on adventure in the Bay of Fundy
The power of the tides has made unique, stimulating and wild rides. There are several degrees of excitement and the Bay of Fundy offers a little of each.
Challenge the Reversing Falls
For the advanced white water kayaker, the reversing falls at low tide present a superb challenge, making a fantastic ride.
For the less adventuresome, but similarly daring, try walking thru the falls in a completely unique “bubble” or taking part in a jet boat ride.
Surf the Tidal Bore & Mud Sliding
The earth at the top of the Bay opens up to waters that quickly flow in at high tide. A few local companies use this phenomena by offering white water adventure tours. This is a wild experience that’s definitely totally unique to the Bay of Fundy.
Once the Tidal Bore is emptied of the powerful waters of high tide, steep muddy banks are revealed. For the truly bold and a touch crazy only.
Sea Kayaking
The Bay of Fundy has fantastic opportunities for sea kayakers. The waters can be still at times , as the Bay does offer shelter from the open ocean’s wake creating fantastic conditions to explore a largely undeveloped shoreline. With six hours between high and low tides, the view of the tide worn shores is continually changing.
Underwater Diving
For those that brave the cold waters of the Bay, Fundy offers spectacular underwater life and fantastic challenge. Deer Island, among the Fundy Isles, is a local scuba diving hot spot.
Whale Watching
Home to at least 8 different kinds of whales, whale watching is a favored activity on the Bay of Fundy. Tours range from 2 to 6 hours and are offered from a spread of coastal locations along the southern parts of the Bay.
Hiking/Back packing
The Bay of Fundy has trails for all levels of hiking. Whether searching for a short trail to an astounding view or a back country heaven, the coasts of the Bay have it all.
Rappelling/Rock Climbing
