🌊 Tidal Wonders Await 

Experience the World's Highest Tides
Bay of Fundy

The Bay of Fundy is home to the world's highest tides, with a record tidal range of 16.8 metres (54.6 feet) in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia. 

​

Tides here rise and fall twice daily, driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and the unique funnel shape of the Bay. This “sloshing effect” amplifies the tides to world-record heights, with up to 115 billion tonnes of water moving in and out each day — enough to fill the Grand Canyon twice!

​

The mighty Fundy tides create a gradual but powerful transformation, exposing vast mudflats at low tide and completely flooding them hours later. Ships float at their docks at high tide and are left high and dry when the waters retreat.

 

Spencer’s Island and Advocate Harbour are perfect spots to experience this incredible natural wonder firsthand — along with beaches, hiking trails, and stunning sunsets over the Bay.​​
