One of the Marine Wonders of the World

New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is one of the Marine Wonders of the World. Home to the world's highest tides, it offers some of the best whale-watching on Canada's east coast. Walk on the ocean floor at the famous Hopewell Rocks. Explore the base of towering flowerpot rock formations and, just six hours later, kayak the very same spot. At high tide all that remain of the rocks are tiny islands.

Tour Two Spectacular Coastal Parks

At Fundy National Park, you'll see whales, birds, and all kinds of plant life, all within reach of the world's highest tides! From lush inland forests to towering seaside cliffs, the park's 206 square kilometers (80 square miles) are full of wonder. Hike nearly 125 kilometers (78 miles) of incredible trails, relax in a heated saltwater pool, take in a round of golf, learn the mysteries of the Bay at the interpretation center, and stay the night in first-class camping facilities.

One of the wonders of the Acadian coast is Kouchibouguac National Park, known for its endless stretches of sand dunes and fragile grasslands. Kayak past a sandbar full of seals, follow a series of boardwalks to some of the warmest saltwater north of Virginia, and explore a near-perfectly preserved ecosystem--all part of the park's camping and exploration grounds.

Provincial Parks, Natural Sites and Endless Trails

Hike to the highest peak in the Maritimes or canoe incredible inland rivers in New Brunswick. The province has nine provincial parks, countless natural sites, and a network of hiking trails.
