1. Feel the power of the highest tides in the world

The Bay of Fundy is one of the world’s most fascinating coastlines. Head to Hopewell Rocks, a.k.a. the flowerpot rocks, and walk the ocean floor when the tide is out to explore the dramatic rock formations. At nearby Cape Enrage, you can zipline over the Bay or rappel down 140 cliffs onto Fossil Beach.

Or, view the tidal wonder in Saint John at Reversing Falls Rapids, a prime spot to view the tidal impact upon a river. Here, water levels rise 8.5 metres as Bay of Fundy tides collide with the Saint John River. At low tide, you can watch the whirlpools forming while, at high tide, the direction of the St. John River is reversed. Yes, reversed. The ocean pushes the river all the way back to Fredericton.
