We will make our way from Halifax to Halls Harbour, one of the best natural harbours on the upper Bay of Fundy. At low tide, you can walk on the gravel beach which at high tide is the bottom of the Bay of Fundy. Witness the harbor dock with its fishing fleet. It was floating at mooring only six hours ago and is now resting on the low tide seafloor.
This area of the Bay of Fundy was first inhabited by the Mi’kmaq people and then a French colony in 1604. The French settlers were known as Acadians. They were eventually caught up in dramatic events of the era which are immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Evangeline". Their history is featured at Grand Pré National Historic Site museum. The surrounding countryside is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape.
Here is a list of other possible activities we can accommodate while on our Fundy tour:
- UNESCO World Heritage site at Grand Pré
- Wine tasting
- Lunch featuring delicious fresh seafood and local produce (in season)
- Many beautiful locations for photos
The focus of this tour is to witness both dramatic phases of the Fundy high and low tides. To do this, we start at Halls Harbour, leave and then return at an appropriate time. This time gap between tides is how we accommodate other attractions such as the museum, the wineries and photo stops like the “Look Off.”
This tour is dependent on the tidal phase and may or may not work with your time schedule if you are a cruise ship client. This will be discussed during your quote process. Please feel free to inquire about the Burnt Coat Head version of this tour.
