| Fascinating Fundy Facts |
|
 Ancient seawater rises to the height of a four-storey building - the highest in the world! Created by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, tidal waters flow in and out of the Bay's funnel-like opening. Imagine, twice daily, 200 billion tonnes of water enter and leave the Bay - equal to all the rivers on the planet!
Astonishingly beautiful, the Bay of Fundy is a unique and unforgettable ecoattraction, an authentic marine wonder of the world.
- The constant stirring of the nutrient-rich waters causes immerse blooms of plankton that nourish the 15 species of whales that visit the Bay of Fundy.
- There are fewer than 400 Right whales left in the world and some of these rare creatures can be seen every year in the Bay of Fundy.
- Thirty-four species of shorebirds have been recorded using the marshes and mudlands of the upper Bay of Fundy.
- Between 75 to 95 per cent of the world's population of semi-palmated sandpipers depend on the Fundy mudflats for their survival. One sandpiper can eat between 9,000 and 20,000 shrimp per day to double its weight for a 72-hour, non-stop flight to South America for the winter.

You can find yourself the perfect lookout. You can drive it. You can walk it, hike it or bike it. Whichever way you decide to experience the spectacular Fundy Trail, you are creating memories that span the senses and stay as vivid as the power of the ocean vista itself. Be dazzled by sun-splashed waves in a sea kayak, or feel your heart leap as you challenge the mighty Reversing Falls in an exhilarating jet boat ride at the City of Saint John. Listen to the sounds of a working fishing village around you as you stare unbelieving at Old Sow - the western hemisphere's largest tidal whirlpool on Deer Island.
All this and more - use our Fundy Scenic Drive information to plan your stay-near-the-Bay of Fundy.
