The power of the tides has made unique, invigorating and wild rides. There are numerous degrees of adventure and the Bay of Fundy offers a little of each.
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. Several local outfitters use this phenomena by offering tidal wave rafting tours. This is a wild experience that's definitely completely unique to the Bay of Fundy.
Once the Tidal Bore is emptied of the powerful waters of high tide, steep muddy banks are revealed. For the really adventurous and a touch crazy only.
Scuba Diving
For those that brave the cold waters of the Bay, Fundy offers spectacular underwater life and fantastic challenge. Deer Island, among the Fundy Isles, is a local scuba swimming hot spot.
Whale Watching
Home to at least 8 different kinds 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 spread of coastal locations along the southern parts of the Bay.
Sea Kayaking
The Bay of Fundy has wonderful possibilities for sea kayakers. The waters can be still on occasion as the Bay does offer shelter from the open ocean's wake creating fantastic conditions to explore a mostly natural coast. With six hours between low and high tides, the view of the tide worn shores is constantly changing.
Challenge the Reversing Falls
For the advanced white water kayaker, the reversing falls at low tide present an incredible challenge, making a fantastic ride.
For the less adventuresome, but similarly daring, try walking thru the falls in a completely unique "bubble" or partaking in a jet boat ride.
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 beaches of the Bay have it all.
Caving
Many caves have been sliced out of the coasts of the Bay by the power of the tides. Exploring these caves can be exhilarating and dangerous. Cavers always need to watch out for the rising tide. Guided tours are available.
Rappelling/Rock Climbing
Cape Enrage is one of the Bay of Fundy's most dramatic rock faces, creating a chance for the most impressive rappelling and rock climbing in the area. The ultimate activity for the adventurous.
