• The Canadian Badlands are renowned for their unique geological formations. These formations, including hoodoos (tall, thin rock spires), canyons, and sedimentary layers, date back as far as 70 million years
• The Canadian Badlands span 7,700 square kilometres (3,000 square miles) in southeastern Alberta

The Bay of Fundy, situated between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is renowned for having the highest tides on earth, with tidal ranges rising to 16 metres (54 feet). The tides, a result of the bay’s funnel-like shape, create a dynamic ecosystem.

You can witness the mesmerizing phenomenon of the reversing falls in Saint John, where the river flow changes direction with the tides. In St. Martins, sea kayaking adventures take you past the dramatic red rock cliffs to sandstone sea caves. At low tide, you walk along the sea floor to further explore these sea caves. Other activities in the Bay of Fundy region include whale-watching tours, bird watching, hiking along scenic coastal trails, and discovering charming fishing villages.
