To Bring:
Please dress in layers.

— World’s Highest Tide Tours —
The Minas Basin

The Bay of Fundy's highest tides in the world are awe-inspiring and romantic. Their moderating rhythms provide the Annapolis Valley a dramatic pulse found nowhere else in the world.
Captain Huntley's Nova Endeavour is an authentic, Nova Scotia work boat with plenty of experience on these mighty waters. Cruise by the sandstone-sculpted Medford coastline before marveling in the shadows of majestic Cape Blomidon. Parrsboro, the coastal, artistic community across the basin, is walkable and very excited to welcome you.
