Tidal Bore Rafting

Experience the wonder of mother nature as a tranquil stream turns direction and becomes a rushing river full of rapids and amazing waves. Journey up stream, enjoying the scenic beauty, history and geology of this historic river.

The Bay of Fundy is particularly noted for the highest Tides in the world and for its Tidal Bores.

In the funnel shaped Bay of Fundy, which is 48 miles wide at its mouth and narrows down along its entire length, the tide waters enter the bay at its widest point. As the tide pushes inward towards the head of the bay it is squeezed by the ever narrowing sides and constant shallowing of the bottom.

In the Shubenacadie River this incoming tide creates a wave, varying from a small ripple to a huge wave. This wave is referred to as a "Tidal Bore". Thus we have the phenomenon of a river changing direction before your very eyes, created by the tidal wave, or bore, flowing in over the outgoing water. The Bore is followed by 3 to 12 ft rapids. Nowhere in the world can a tidal bore of this magnitude be seen.

Duration - 4 hours.
