Our second tour with Viva Shediac and another wonderful day ! We had the BEST fried clams ever!! - at Chez Leo and enjoyed meeting the owner and manager. The 40km drive was beautiful and we loved the oysters ! ( and the sausage !) They introduced us to Grange Du Chavire - a very special stop on your Sunday Drive Tour ! Daniel Leger was both charming and talented ! He entertained us with songs and stories of his life thru music! We can’t say enough about the experience ! The entire tour is fabulous - but meeting Daniel and hearing his music was the highlight ! Thanks again for another great day !

Mike was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the area. He is a local, retired teacher & history buff who brought us to the beautiful "out of the way" places that truly made this a Hidden Gems tour! Loved the "secret" places we went to for lunch & smoked Salmon. Architectural designs & local history is his forte'! We will be coming back!

This tour offers a smaller group experience than the cruise lines at a better price. If you have ever wanted to see the highest tides in the world, mixed in with the historical nature of the quaint fishing villages then this is the best way to spend your time ashore in new Brunswick. Don't forget to visit the wave-carved sea caves in the sandstone cliff if the tide is low enough to allow access while you're there. It is a photographer's delight! There will also be an opportunity to purchase a mug of world-famous seafood chowder. You also get to see the oldest farmers market in Canada in the old city part of the tour, dating back to 1876. This is a tour to make your time ashore a memorable one.

Our tour begins with a visit to the seaside community of St. Martins. You'll step back in time and sense the serenity of this area with its wharf, fishing boats, and piled lobster traps. With the ocean as a backdrop, you'll capture memorable photos of many interesting features such as lighthouses and the twin covered bridges. Don't forget to visit the wave-carved sea caves in the sandstone cliff if the tide is low enough to allow access while you're there. Learn about this small community's wooden ship building industry and see some of the highest tides in the world ebb and flow during your visit. You'll also visit the famous Reversing Falls, where the huge tides from the Bay of Fundy force the mighty Saint John River. Before returning to the cruise ship, we'll stop and explore the unique Old City Market in the heart of Saint John and learn why the local folks have loved to buy fresh produce here since 1876. Please note: all tours depart at local time and depend on cruise ship arrival.

This was an all-day excursion - particularly planned to see the Bay of Fundy 2 different times to experience the change in the tides. Paula was an absolutely amazing guide who had tons of information about the area, lobstering, tidal waves, etc. Absolutely a great way to spend the day (and I did get some local coffee at the city market which was also a plus).
