Itinerary

Arrive at the Saint John Airport (YSJ) and take a Red Rock Adventure shuttle to the city of Saint John. Stay at the Hilton Hotel and take time for yourself to relax or explore the city. There’s lots of great restaurants and tons of history for you to discover.

Day 1

After having breakfast at the Hilton’s York Bistro, head out to Deer Island. From here you will start to make your way by sea kayak through the Fundy Isles Archipelago. Discover the highest tides in the world as you island hop. Land on a private island to have dinner and camp for the night.

Day 2

Wake up early and have a tent-side breakfast before heading out back onto the water. Keep your eyes open for some of the marine life that called the Fundy Isles home. Porpoise, seals, and the occasional whale can be just as curious about you as you are of them. Another dinner and night on the island means more chance for star gazing in a place with little to no light pollution.

Day 3

This is your last day on the water. After another island breakfast, paddle back to Deer Island, land, and head to the beautiful town of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. Check in to the historic Algonquin Hotel before having a group farewell dinner at the bay side Niger Reef Teahouse.

Day 4

Today you have one last breakfast together at the Algonquin Hotel before you are shuttled to the Saint John Airport and head home.
