Top Experiences
Reversing Falls
The Reversing Falls is a unique phenomenon caused by the tremendous tide in the Bay of Fundy. At low tide, the St. John River empties into the bay through a rocky gorge. Once the tide is higher than the river, the reversal of the current occurs and continues until high tide. It is recommended to view the Falls twice – near low tide and near high tide. View this wonder from two vantage points – Fallsview Park and the Falls Restaurant observation deck.
St. Martin’s Sea Caves
Discover how this coastline was carved over centuries by crashing waves. Explore sea caves at low tide and then hike up to the sea cliffs and watch the incoming tide fill them with water.
Harbour Passage
Harbour Passage is a system of walking and biking trails, lookouts, and heritage sites extending along the Saint John Harbour. Showing spectacular views of the St. John River meeting the Bay of Fundy and a beautiful scenic walk to the world-famous Reversing Falls.
Hopewell Rocks
Located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy, are the fascinating Hopewell Rocks. Over the centuries 
since the retreat of the glaciers, at the end of the last ice age, these rocks have been sculpted by the extreme and powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy. It is these same tides that can be seen rising up to almost fifty feet, covering the bottom part of the rocks, and making it impossible to walk where moments ago had been dry land. This is a unique and truly amazing sight that is essential to any Bay of Fundy adventure!
Fundy Trail
The ultimate Bay of Fundy eco-adventure! Drive the paved parkway that hugs the coastal cliffs. Lace up your hiking boots and hop on your mountain bike and explore the trails. These connect to paths and stairways which lead to pristine beaches and tumbling waterfalls, Precambrian rocks, and cliffs that tower at the water’s edge. If that doesn’t take your breath away, just check out the view – the spectacular, stunning Bay of Fundy!
Irving Nature Park
Irving Nature Park, a 243-hectare (600 acre) site, was created by J.D. Irving, Limited to help protect an environmentally significant, endangered area. After an extensive clean-up effort, the land has returned to a natural state, and it is being protected so that it may continue its invaluable environmental role. This special part of the Fundy Coast is now a place where the public can enjoy the various ecosystems of Southern New Brunswick’s coast.
