More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Atlantic breeze pushes into your face as you step from the red sand and lower your kayak into the restless Bay of Fundy. Cliffs rise like folded pages to your left; the Three Sisters sea stacks stand off the shore, sculpted by tides that rearrange this coastline twice daily. Guides check skirts and life jackets, then your paddle meets the water and the day begins.

Check the tide schedule
This coastline changes dramatically with tide — high-tide paddles access arches and stacks that are exposed or walkable at low tide.
Wear grippy water shoes
Launches and landings are on rocky or sandy shores; closed-toe water shoes protect feet and improve traction.
Respect weight limits
Guides pair paddlers in double kayaks and the operator enforces a 240 lb weight limit — mention any concerns when booking.
Bring a dry bag and spare layers
Weather on the Bay of Fundy can flip; keep electronics and clothes dry and add a warm mid-layer for wind and spray.
Waterproof dry bag
Keeps phone, camera, and spare layers dry during spray and potential splashes.
Technical splash jacket
A windproof, water-resistant jacket reduces chill from spray and wind on open water.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet on rocky launches and provides grip on wet surfaces.
