WELCOME TO THE SITE OF THE HIGHEST RECORDED TIDES
IN THE WORLD!
With the scent of the salty ocean air, climb 100-foot cliffs overlooking waters where Bald Eagles glide over the water, or walk on the ocean floor when the tide has dropped the height of a four-storey building.
Experience the ultimate culinary adventure at the site of the world’s highest tides. Savour the best Nova Scotia food, beer and wine in this exceptional experience. Begin by learning about the wild edibles of Nova Scotia, followed by a lunchtime seafood feast where you meet the Chef and enjoy beer and wine pairings. Enjoy a guided tour of the ocean floor, then take a seat at a dining table with a view of the incoming tide for an intimate 3-course dinner on the ocean floor; all followed by an ocean floor campfire.
TOUR THE OCEAN FLOOR
Burntcoat Head Park is home to the world's highest recorded tides, but beneath that tide lies an abundance of sea creatures.
Explore the ocean floor with a guided tour by one of the knowledgeable park guides, located at Burntcoat Head Park!
TIDAL BORE RAFTING
Tidal bore rafting is powered by the world famous Bay of Fundy tidal bore. Nova Scotia’s tidal bore rafting tours are unlike any other rafting experience on the planet. Imagine floating on a calm, peaceful river taking in the scenic cliffs one moment, and seeing it transformed into raging rapids the next. Twice a day when the tide changes, the bore temporarily reverses the flow of the river, creating incredible roller coaster rapids!
VISION AIR HELICOPTER TOURS
We had the privilege of experiencing Vision Air Services Heli-Picnic Sambro Island Escape! It was incredible to experience Nova Scotia with a bird’s-eye view. We flew over Halifax harbor, stunning coastlines, circled Citadel Hill, and landed on a secluded island with North America’s oldest active lighthouse. Tim gave us a walking tour of Sambro Island showcasing the historic lighthouse, stories of past residents, and local wildlife. Our picnic was delicious too—a beautifully prepared charcuterie board from the Italian Market paired with Jost Vineyards Tidal Bay wine.
