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.

Witness firsthand the effects of the Bay of Fundy-home of the highest tides in the world -while experiencing the beautiful scenery which allowed New Brunswick be known as the Picture Province.

The McAdam Train Museum is a blast from the past, fantastic recreation of days gone by. Dinner by the Lions Club Members and volunteers, served piping hot and generous servings. The skits were hilarious and of course we joined in as best we could. Came home happy but tired. Even watched a movie on the bus - Princess Diana's Last Days, played bingo (great prizes) and sang Christmas songs. Started out with strangers, were friends by the end.

With the ocean as a backdrop, you'll capture memorable photos of many interesting features such as lighthouses and the twin covered bridges.

7. Golf in Saint John New Brunwick

Marco Polo Cruise Terminal, 111 Water St, Saint John, NB E2L 0B1, Canada Freedom Tours

Regardless of season, a round at Golf Rockwood is a treat to the wonders of nature. Set in the midst of a 2200 acre pristine urban park it’s not uncommon to share your time with deer, groundhogs, small fox and ducks. While a relatively short course, at 5925 yards, the unique hillside terrain presents an exciting challenge that truly rewards and keeps the ball in play. This is one of those rare courses that seems to play much longer than the scorecard yardage indicates, and is incredibly challenging from the back tees, yet offers a very playable and fair challenge from the middle and forward tees for the less skilled players.

Inclusions: Club Rentals & Green Fees, Lunch

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Gratuities
