Itinerary

Reversing Falls Rapids
30 min

A unique phenomenon created by the collision of the Bay of Fundy and the Saint John River. At low tide the river empties into the bay causing a series of rapids and whirlpools. As tides rise they slow the river current for a brief period called slack tide. The Bay's tides continue to rise, gradually reversing the flow of the river; rapids form again, peaking at high tide. A 8.5-metre (28-foot) tide cycle is roughly 12.5 hours.

Private Bay of Fundy Tour with friends

We booked this tour directly at the cruise terminal, where the company offered both bus tours and private tours. After speaking with the owner, they immediately arranged a private tour for us on the spot. The tour lasted about 5–6 hours and was truly enjoyable. We visited many beautiful spots with several stops along the way. Our tour guide, Henry, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. He even served us Canadian coffee and snacks on the way to Saint Martin, which was a nice touch. One great advantage of the private tour is that it can be customized to your preferences, which made the experience even more special. There were five of us traveling comfortably in a large van, and the entire experience was amazing. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a small-group or private tour experience.

Operator response

We’re delighted that we were able to arrange a private Bay of Fundy tour for your group right at the cruise terminal and that you enjoyed the 5–6 hour experience. It was a pleasure having the five of you with us and showing you some of the beautiful sights around Saint John and St. Martins. Henry will be especially happy to hear your kind words. He loves sharing local history, stories, and the beauty of the Bay of Fundy with our guests—and of course, making sure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable day. We’re glad you enjoyed the Canadian coffee and snacks along the way as well! One of the great advantages of a private tour is the flexibility to personalize the experience, and we’re happy that this helped make your day special. Thank you again for choosing Shore Tours Saint John / S-TOUR NB and for recommending us to other travelers. We hope to welcome you and your friends back to Saint John and the Bay of Fundy someday!
