A visit to Nova Scotia is not complete without witnessing the incredible tides in the Bay of Fundy.
Twice each day the Bay of Fundy fills and empties its 160 billion tons of water creating the highest tides in the world. These dramatic tides which typically see a difference of 14.5 metres (47.5 feet) allow Nova Scotia to offer one-of-a-kind adventures that literally cannot be experienced anywhere else on earth!
Bay of Fundy is a shared body of water located between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
This region is home to the highest recorded tides in the world
The dramatic cliffs and caves make it a popular paddling destination
Home to the oldest dinosaur fossils in Canada
Top things to do
Burntcoat Head Park
At low tide, you can easily make your way onto the ocean floor to explore. A mere six hours later the mudflats where you once stood will be covered by up to 42 feet of water.
Tidal Bore Rafting
When the Bay of Fundy’s incoming tide meets the Shubenacadie River, the rolling waves created by the tidal bore, ranging from 8 to 20 feet, creates the perfect roller coaster on water.
UNESCO Global Geopark
The cliffs and beaches of the Bay of Fundy are home to the world’s most complete fossil record of life 300 million years ago and are part of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark.
