Travelers who venture between Nova Scotia and the neighboring province of New Brunswick on Canadian rail tours can witness one of the most remarkable seascapes on the planet. The Bay of Fundy boasts the highest tide in the world, five times greater than the Atlantic Coast average. Ranging from 11 feet to a massive 53 feet twice a day every day, the natural phenomenon provides tourists with opportunities to explore the landscape, ocean floor and abundance of marine life.

The tides have caused steady erosion over millions of years. When the waters reach low tide, the region is ideal for fossil hunting, with its carved overhanging sea caves and cliffs. The UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site is located right near the Fundy Shore and can be an ideal spot to visit for travelers interested in paleontology - the site possesses the world's largest collection of 300 million-year-old fossils.

After checking out the prehistoric life of the bay, travelers can learn about the modern life inhabiting the shore and ocean floor. The finback whale, the world's second largest animal, comes to the Bay of Fundy to feed and interact with other whales in the region, including right, minke and humpback whales.

Waiting to be explored by tourists and adventurers along the Trans Canadian railway, the Bay of Fundy can provide a wealth of activities, from treasure beachcombing to tidal rafting through the colossal waves.
