Amanda PhillipsCome witness the hypnotic flow as the Bay of Fundy fills and empties, replacing billions of tonnes of water, creating the highest tides in the world. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors come from around the world travel to the Bay of Fundy, a UNESCO Biosphere, to watch and walk the ocean floor at low tide. For an introduction to the tides, the geology – including the stunning ‘flowerpot’ formations – the shorebird migration, the whales, and the local culture of Fundy, come and try Walking the Ocean Floor.
You’ll want to grab some good rubber boots and venture out onto the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks to really see the bottom of the sea at low tide – it’s a pretty muddy activity so good rubber boots are a necessity.
During the summer months of July and August, you’ll be completely swept away by the sight of millions of shore birds congregating in the upper reaches of the Bay – a well-earned rest stop on their 4,000 km migration to South America.
If you’re feeling a little adventurous whilst visiting the Bay, why not take the chance to hop in a kayak at high tide to explore slightly further afield? Who knows what you might see…!
Travellers around the world are telling us they want to explore and live a life less ordinary, and that’s what we’re giving them.
