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.
Ride the Reversing Falls
For the advanced white water kayaker, the reversing falls at low tide present a fantastic challenge, making a fantastic ride.
For the less venturesome, but equally daring, try walking through the falls in a novel "bubble" or taking part in a jet boat ride.
Surf the Tidal Bore & Mud Sliding
The earth at the very top of the Bay opens up to waters that rush in at high tide. One or two local companies take advantage of this phenomena by offering white water adventure tours. This is a wild experience that is really 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 wonderful possibilities for sea kayakers. The waters can be still at times , as the Bay does offer shelter from the open ocean's wake making wonderful 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 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/Backpacking
The Bay of Fundy has trails for all levels of hiking. Whether looking for a short trail to a breathtaking view or a back country heaven, the coasts 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 carved out of the coasts of the Bay by the power of the tides. Exploring these caves can be exhilarating and dangerous. Cavers always have to beware of the rising tide. Guided tours are available.
