The power of the tides has made unique, invigorating and wild rides. There are different degrees of excitement and the Bay of Fundy gives you a little of each.
Challenge the Reversing Falls
For the advanced white water kayaker, the reversing falls at low tide present an incredible challenge, making a wild ride.
For the less adventuresome, but equally daring, try walking through the falls in a unique "bubble" or partaking 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 outfitters use this phenomena by organizing white water adventure tours. This is a wild experience that's truly totally unique to the Bay of Fundy.
Once the Tidal Bore is emptied of the powerful waters of high tide, steep muddy banks are laid bare. For the really adventurous and slightly crazy only.
Sea Kayaking
The Bay of Fundy has fantastic opportunities for sea kayakers. The waters can be still occasionally as the Bay does offer shelter from the open ocean's wake creating superb conditions to explore a mostly natural coast. With 6 hours between low and high tides, the view of the tide worn shores is constantly changing.
Underwater Diving
For those that brave the cold waters of the Bay, Fundy offers impressive underwater life and superb challenge. Deer Island, among the Fundy Isles, is a local scuba swimming hot spot.
Whale Watching
Home to at least eight different types of whales, whale watching is a favored activity on the Bay of Fundy. Tours range all the way from 2 to 6 hours and are offered from a variety 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 path to an amazing view or a back country paradise, the beaches of the Bay have it all.
Rappelling/Rock Climbing
Cape Enrage is one of the Bay of Fundy's most dramatic rock faces, creating an opportunity for the most spectacular rappelling and rock climbing in the area. The ultimate activity for the fearless.
Caving
Many caves have been sliced out of the shores of the Bay by the power of the tides. Exploring these caves can be invigorating and dangerous. Cavers always need to watch out for the rising tide. Guided tours are available.
