Grand Pre/Bay of Fundy / Hall's Harbour
Description
The Bay of Fundy's shape and prevailing ocean currents conspire to create the highest tides in the world. Experience what happens as 3,680 billion cubic feet of water pour in and out of the "funnel" not once but twice each day. Boats and even ocean-going ships can be stranded high and dry. Vast tidal flats are waiting to be explored. That's how Hall's Harbour began in 1779 - as a pirate base for local scalawag Samuel Hall, his native Mi'Kmaq girlfriend and a band of cutthroat Yankee privateers. They would prey on the Planters and Loyalists to the British Crown. Finally, remember that this is a real fishing village, one that takes its living from the sea - not one created to please tourists. The fishermen and other village folk are usually busy with their work, but you'll find that they will often take the time to pass time the with visitors to their community. Why not come and spend some time with us?

Hello Keegan. Thank you so much for the post. It was nice taking you to the Bay of Fundy. One of the natural wonders of the world.
The day was guided and driven well by Jonathan- we loved the area, learned something of its history, enjoyed the seafood and were enthralled by the speed of the incoming tide… all while being entertained. What a great day… thanks
Thank you so much my friends. I hope to see you someday in your home town as discussed. My regards to you all.
Jonathan was a great host and very entertaining! It was a great day at the Bay of Fundy and Hall's Harbour with a few extra stops along the way.
Your mother is a Darling! Your mother really,really made my day. I felt blessed sitting in the presence of such a gracious lady. Please tell her we are looking forward to seeing her again in Halifax. You are a chip off the block. Be Blessed. Your friends in Halifax, Canada.
This is a great opportunity to see Nova Scotia beyond Halifax. Our driver Jonathan was very informative and helpful. The stops were well chosen including the historic, scenic and wineries. Poor weather intervened but this was a trip which I recommend highly.
Indeed, I hate to do tours on a foggy or rainy day. But we cannot control the weather. I really enjoyed meeting and touring with you. Thank you.
Jonathan was a great tour guide/driver. We had a lovely drive from Halifax to the Minas Basin where we got to see the beautiful scenery and walk on the ocean floor. We also stopped for a delicious lunch in Port Williams.
Walking in the Ocean @ the Bay of Fundy was fantastic. I hope to see you again in the future. Thank you.
