New Brunswick
New Brunswick is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces
and also the only province to be officially bilingual, both English and French
are spoken. Bordering the US state of Maine and just below Quebec, New
Brunswick is an ideal province to visit to explore the great outdoors, with the
Bay of Fundy, Appalachian range and a scenic coastline with a number of
lighthouses. The capital of New Brunswick is Fredericton and the province
also hosts the towns of Moncton and St John.
Pristine natural beauty, hospitable locals, fantastic
cuisine and a host of leisure activities make New Brunswick an unforgettable
travel destination. Among its most famous attractions is the Bay of Fundy,
where ebb and flow of the tides sees an incredible billion tonnes of water come
in and out of the bay per day.
A highlight travel experience of the region is
island-hopping around the Bay of Fundy using the local ferry system. Other
prime activities include sport-fishing off the coast and fly-fishing in the
surrounding lakes and rivers, and whale watching just off the coast, with the
chance to see up to 12 different whale species!

the Bay of Fundy beckons visitors with its dramatic scenic beauty and array of
outdoor pursuits, which include hiking along pristine nature trails, kayaking
along the coast, and whale-watching at the mouth of the bay.

out of the bay, forming impressive rapids and whirlpools at certain locations.
