13 ways to see this coastline — from a two-hour paddle to a three-hour crossing of the bay. Small groups, local guides, and times that follow the tide.
Out on the water from Spencers Island
Times follow high tide Three landmarks, one crossing
Cross the bay to the fishing village of Halls Harbour, run the base of Cape Split's 300-foot cliffs, and tour Spencers Island from the water — the full sweep of the Fundy shore in a single afternoon.

A crossing to the working fishing village of Halls Harbour, with time ashore at the wharf and the Lobster Pound, then a tour of Spencers Island from the water on the way home.

Times follow high tide 300-foot cliffs from below
Feel the rush of the tides at the base of Cape Split, where 300-foot basalt cliffs preserve lava flows that erupted 200 million years ago — a landmark most people only ever see from the trail above.

Times follow high tide Mist, legends and basalt pillars
Eight kilometres offshore, Isle Haute rises out of the Bay of Fundy behind 100-metre pillars of basalt. A National Wildlife Area, a seabird and seal sanctuary, and on a foggy day it looks like it is floating.
