THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Starting from the US border drive onward into St. Stephen.

Enjoy a short drive out of town where you will find Ganong Nature Park, a 142-ha (350-acre) natural park, featuring a spectacular coastline that overlooks the St. Croix River. The park has woods, fields, many walking trails, and 73 ha (180 acres) of intertidal areas. Stroll the Riverfront Walking Trail along the scenic St. Croix River and watch for eagles overhead, you may even catch a glimpse of these mighty birds fishing.
Arrive in St. Andrews, one of Canada's most beautiful seaside resorts. Perched on a peninsula jutting into the Bay of Fundy, St. Andrews is an equal parts resort town and adventure haven. Whale-watching is just the beginning. Visit Kingsbrae Gardens and see over 50,000 perennials in many themed gardens including the magnificent sculpture garden. The 27-acre Garden is home to alpacas, goats, peacocks, rabbits, and more. Kids can explore the cedar maze, playhouses, climbing castles, and experience the live ladybug release. Tour the Fundy Discovery Aquarium, which showcases creatures big and small found in the beautiful Bay of Fundy. See harbour seals through the windows of the underwater viewing area, and watch some of the sea creatures in the gigantic touch pool. Continue eastwards to Saint John, the largest city in the province of New Brunswick.
Sitting along the Bay of Fundy, Saint John is filled with old-world charm, unique architecture, vibrant restaurants, and historic sights. Spend time exploring Saint John with a self guided city walking tour. At an hour and a half each, the self-guided Loyalist Trail, Victorian Stroll and Prince William Walk will take you through the history and landmarks associated with the city's earliest settlers, the post-Great Fire residential renaissance and the emergence of turn of the century grand commercial architecture. Pick up the brochure at a Visitor Information Centre. Later, visit the natural phenomenon of the Reversing Falls, a series of rapids and whirlpools on the Saint John River that empties into the Bay of Fundy. The extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy affect the river and reverse the flow of the current as the tides rise and fall. Spend time at leisure to enjoy the local eateries and markets.

These rocks are forested islands at high tide and resemble flowerpots at low tide.Visit the town of Shediac, known as the "Lobster Capital of the World", where you can see the World's Largest Lobster before you embark on a lobster cruise to learn about the lobster's fishery and enjoy a delicious meal onboard.
