About Grand Manan Island
The Bay of Fundy, with its dramatic and extreme tides, was a finalist – One of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. In addition, it was also voted as one of the “World’s 7 Best Small Islands”, by Reader’s Digest. A bird watcher’s paradise, with over 240 species of birds, and also the only place in New Brunswick to arrange a tour to visit the puffins, which is now a protected bird sanctuary.

Your adventure starts with a 90-minute ferry ride, where you will discover all the best of The Bay of Fundy and arrive at your destination – Grand Manan Island. With idyllic Grand Manan Island as your backdrop, here you can get up close and personal with birds, marine wildlife, and maritime culture on the finest tours in the bay. Life will adjust to a new pace as you breathe the invigorating sea air and explore our working fishing villages, herring weirs, and lighthouses, which offer a glimpse into our maritime roots.

I look out to the weir, and on past to land
But something comes upon me that I barely understand…
It’s a quiet peace, an inner joy
That is usually foreign, where rush is the word to employ
Here is different
Here is right
Here, you don’t care if it's morning or night.
