Itinerary
Have breakfast at the Hilton’s York Bistro before walking the historic uptown of Saint John, Canada’s oldest incorporated city. After that, start towards the Village of St. Martins. Kayak at hight tide along world famous sea caves and discover cliffs carved by wind, water, and time. Check into the St. Martins Country Inn, home of a major shipbuilding family, overlooking the Bay of Fundy.
DAY 1
Start your day with breakfast at Vaughn’s Restaurant before walking the ocean floor and discovering the sea caves at low tide. After a trailside lunch, continue on to hiking in the UNESCO Fundy Biosphere from the Fundy Trail Parkway. Return to St. Martins and learn about the rich cultural history. From shipbuilding families to women ship Captains, your connection to the region is hidden in the stories. Finish the night with a beach barbeque and entertainment along the Bay of Fundy.
DAY 2
Enjoy your final morning in St. Martins before departing west to the Fundy Isles Archipelago. Ferry through the islands on your way to Campobello, where you will check in to the historical Roosevelt Cottages at the Roosevelt Campobello International Park. Among all the highlights of the day, the greatest is Tea With Eleanor. Experience the life and lore of the First Lady through stories from locals about her time on the beloved island.
DAY 3
This day is certainly a day of exploration and discovery. After departing the Adams House, travel the same carriage roads the Roosevelts traveled on to hike along the same beaches they frequented. Have lunch at the world famous Head Harbour Lighthouse before heading out to sea in search of whales. If you’re lucky, you could see the Finback Whale, reaching sizes up to 89.6ft, this is the second largest animal in the world and entirely awe-inspiring. Head back to the Roosevelt Cottages to have cocktails with FDR, followed by a lobster dinner.

Breakfast and some free time on Campobello ease you into your short boat ride to the town of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. The history of St. Andrews will not be lost as you take a historic tour with the most prominent guide from the area. At the end of your tour, you will arrive at Kingsbrae Gardens, where you will be wowed by Chef Alex Haun and his local creations. Check in to yet another historical destination, complete with a ghost story or two, and stay at the Algonquin Resort.

In August, the highs can average 26°C (upper-70s°F), while the lows at night average around 13°C (mid-50s°F). As with any coastal region, wind and rain are always a possibility, along with Atlantic fog. Be sure to bring layers for both warmth and protection against rain.
What's the weather like?
Due to our tides (highest in the world), our departure times change daily. Our Kayak the Sea Caves tours must depart right before or on the day's high tide. Otherwise, there won't be enough water in the harbour to get out!
Why are tour times different every day?
La côte du Nouveau-Brunswick jouit d’un climat doux en été, avec un sommet quotidien moyen en juin et au début de juillet autour de 18,5 °C (milieu de 60 °F). En août, les plus hauts peuvent atteindre en moyenne 26 °C (maximum de 70 °F), tandis que les plus bas, la nuit, se situent autour de 13 °C (milieu de 50 °F). Comme dans toute région côtière, le vent et la pluie sont toujours possibles, tout comme le brouillard atlantique. Assurez-vous d’apporter des couches pour la chaleur et la protection contre la pluie.
