Explore one of the world’s most dramatic and dynamic coastlines....THE BAY OF FUNDY!!! Home to the highest tides in the WORLD! the Bay of Fundy is a 270km (170 miles) long ocean bay that stretches between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on Canada's east coast. Each day 100 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle, which is more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers!
As you can see, the Bay of Fundy has very beautiful natural characteristics that will be fun for the whole family to explore! but there's much more!
The waters at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy from the ledges off Brier Island right up the Digby Neck are important feeding areas for many species of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and a wide variety of seabirds. Most common species seen are the Minke, humpback and fin whales, harbour porpoise and Atlantic white-sided dolphins.
Immerse yourself in one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. Being in a kayak for several hours allows you to fully experience the flow of the tremendous Bay of Fundy tides and enjoy the rugged dramatic coastline, beautiful secluded islands, abundant marine life, lighthouses and quaint fishing villages.
