Description

WHAT YOU WILL VISIT
SKYWALK
Here, where the Saint John River flows into the Bay of Fundy, incoming tides halt and reverse the river's roiling current twice each day. Nowhere else in the world are ocean tides so extreme, fluctuating up to 50 feet (15 meters) between high and low tide. And there's no more dramatic way to view this phenomenon than from Skywalk. Extending 24 feet (7 meters) from the cliff's edge, it puts you right above the rushing rapids! A brief introductory film explains the powerful tidal effects.
FALLSVIEW PARK
Part of Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark, this destination offers a look at Reversing Falls from ground level. The rocks here tell a fascinating history all their own. Revealing the site where two ancient landmasses collided, they feature exposed rocks ranging from 50 million to 1 billion years old.
WHAT YOU WILL SEE ALONG THE WAY
En route to Skywalk, enjoy a guided tour exploring Saint John's highlights. Discover the colorful streets of historic uptown; stroll along the water's edge on Harbour Passage; and take in breathtaking views from Fort Howe.
SPECIAL PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Fallsview Park affords an excellent viewing point to capture photos and video of the turbulent rapids from ground level.
