Digby and Bay of Fundy
The Bay of Fundy has exhilarating river rafting and wonderful whale watching, while inland from Digby the region is renowned for its historic wine trails.
The Bay of Fundy between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia is a natural wonder with the highest tides in the world, attracting visitors for incredible river rafting and whale-watching.
According to First Nations folklore, the huge tides are caused by a giant whale and there’s certainly no shortage of these amazing creatures here. The 530-km-long bay attracts 12 species, including humpback, minke and finback, so it’s one of Canada’s best destinations for whale-watching.
The difference between high and low tide can be as much as 16 metres, the height of a four-storey building. Those looking for adventure can ride the waves of a water rollercoaster on a rafting trip on the Shubenacadie River, while a more relaxed excursion is walking on the ocean floor at low tide at Hopewell Rocks.
Digby is a great base for whale-watching at Digby Neck and Brier Island, while nearby Annapolis Valley is a rich agricultural region, famous for its wine, beer and cider, so a gastronomic tour here is highly recommended.
History lovers should visit the remains of Fort Anne near Annapolis Royal, which dates from the 17th century. Learn about the French-speaking Acadian culture, deported from this region in the 18th century, at the Grand-Pré Historic Site near Wolfville.
