Weather & Seasons

Adventure is ALWAYS IN SEASON... Summer brings out the boats on beautiful Chaleur Bay. Autumn arrives in a burst of colour at Fundy National Park. Winter awakens to skating parties and ice festivals, then melts into Spring like the taste of warm taffy on snow. Our weather creates ideal travel opportunities throughout the four seasons!

Tides

Be HERE FOR THE HIGHS... (world-record highs)
100 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy twice a day - and the effects are phenomenal. Explore sea caves and intertidal beaches at St. Martins and St. Andrews. Walk the ocean floor and examine the flowerpot formations at The Hopewell Rocks, or visit Reversing Rapids where the highest tides in the world push the St. John River backwards!
