New Brunswick, Canada
Natural History, May, 2003
New Brunswick, Canada, has so many wonders waiting to be experienced and explored! New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is One of the Marine Wonders of the World. Twice a day, the world's highest tides rise and fall almost 48 feet (14 metres ... that's equivalent to a four-storey building!)! Walk on the ocean floor and just six hours later, kayak above the very same spot! Paddle under the arch at the famous Hopewell Rocks, towering rock formations carved by millions of years of surging Fundy tides! Set sail to see all kinds of whales. Playful Humpbacks, giant Finbacks, and even the rare Right Whale! Thrill at the sight of countless shorebirds reeling and diving, and explore the coast from the amazing Fundy Trail.
But the wonder doesn't stop there in New Brunswick! Take a pontoon boat tour between the towering cliffs of Grand Falls Gorge! Or visit preserved sand dunes such as the Irving Eco-Centre, La Dune de Bouctouche, for a tranquil tour through our one-of-a-kind Natural Wonders!
One of the best ways to tour New Brunswick is through our five incredible Scenic Drives! Discover world-renowned salmon-fishing on the Miramichi River Route! Find new inspiration touring some of Earth's oldest mountains on the Appalachian Range Scenic Drivel Tour the scenic splendour of every bend and twist in the St. John River on the River Valley Route! Follow the Fundy Coastal Drive that shoulders the awesome Bay of Fundy or discover the songs and spirit of New Brunswick's French culture on the Acadian Coast!
One thing is for certain in New Brunswick ... there's never a question of what you can do ... only what you can do next! The province is home to two of Canada's National Parks! Head to Kouchibouguac National Park and take a seaside stroll along its endless sandy stretches! In Fundy National Park, you can hike and camp just moments away from this renowned natural phenomenon.
Got a day? Try our incredible Day Adventures! Kayak to see a sandbar full of seals, explore caves, learn to dip candles or how to catch and cook a lobster! There are also our amazing Top Attractions! From visiting the fictional village of Le Pays de la Sagouine to crossing the world's longest covered bridge in Hartland, it's the "A" list of everything there is to see and do in the province! Experience the life of a Loyalist at Kings Landing Historical Settlement! Or discover the meaning of our famous Acadian joie de vivre (joy of life) as you sing along to the dinner theater at the Village Historique Acadien! And no stop would be complete without visiting the charming towns and villages that make up Hometown New Brunswick!
Shop for unique local crafts such as blown glass and paintings by renowned Maritime artists! Feast on a lobster roll to go or sit down to a romantic candlelight seafood supper! Then, end the day at a downtown hotel in one of our world-class cities or tucked away in a chateau, chalet, or a cosy seaside inn!
Our neighbors from the United States are always amazed at our favorable exchange rate, where two US dollars can equal up to as much as three Canadian dollars! That means you can see more wonders for a lot less!
