New Brunswick
From the exhilarating heights of the Bay of Fundy tides, one of the Marine Wonders of the World, to the magnificent white sand dunes of Bouctouche, New Brunswick is home to some of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Maritimes. The province is known for its abundant wildlife, picturesque towns, diverse outdoor adventure and eclectic blend of cultures.
Enjoy a one-of-kind experience with the Bay of Fundy as your phenomenal backdrop. Every day, twice a day, 160 billion tons of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy. At low tide you can walk on the ocean floor and explore the unique characteristics of sandstone formations topped with trees. Paddle a sea kayak amongst these enormous rock formations above where you were just standing merely a few hours before!
Welcome to the most monstrous, memorable, humbling experience of your life. Whale-watching in New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy will take your breath away. Fundy is home to finbacks (the second largest whale in the world), humpbacks, minkes, and the rare, endangered right whale. It’s partly because the world’s highest tides bring an abundance of food—plankton, krill and various fish—but also because it’s a sheltered area where the whales can feed, give birth and raise their calves. This makes it one of the world’s best places to whale watch.
Feel rejuvenated by hiking through New Brunswick, spotting wildlife as you walk, breathing in the sea air and enjoying the undisturbed land. Hike New Brunswick’s Mount Carleton with its 42,000 acres of pristine wilderness waiting for today's explorer, and the Fundy Trail Parkway, one of the top 50 hiking trails on the planet, to enjoy stunning views and create irreplaceable memories.
New Brunswick is famed for its authentic Acadian cuisine with its distinct history and recipes such as fricot and poutine. Enjoy a taste of coastal living by savouring delicious seafood and don’t forget to enjoy juicy lobsters in Shediac, the Lobster Capital of the World. Let your taste guide you and don’t forget to enjoy a craft beverage—wineries, microbreweries and distilleries dot New Brunswick—along the way.
