Highest tides and natural wonders unlike any other.

The Bay of Fundy

A billion tons of water moving in and out of the Bay of Fundy twice a day for eternity has created a land and seascape between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick that is unparalleled.  The Bay of Fundy tide, the highest in the world and five times higher than the Atlantic Coast average, give rise to beachcombing for sparkling amethysts at low tide and to exhilarating Tidal Bore rafting when the rising waters cover hundreds of meters of ground in minutes.
Having caused steady erosion over millions of years, the tides historical impact on the terrain is evident. The waters have carved overhanging sea caves and cliffs, and low tide is a perfect time for fossil hunting. Nova Scotia vacations to the Bay of Fundy should include a stop at The Joggins Fossil Centre on the Fundy Shore, where you will find the world's largest collection of 300 million-year-old Joggins Fossils.
