About this tour
A 6–7 hour small-group coach tour of the Bay of Fundy designed for cruise passengers. Using 18–22 seat buses instead of larger coaches, you'll visit the Reversing Falls and Fundy Trail Provincial Park at a relaxed pace with guaranteed on-time return to your ship. The experience prioritises uncrowded sightseeing and coastal views over packed itineraries, suited to anyone wanting a quieter alternative to standard port excursions.
Highlights
- Small groups (18–22 passengers per bus) for a quieter, more personal experience
- Reversing Falls and Fundy Trail Provincial Park as main stops
- Walking trails through coastal scenery at a comfortable, unhurried pace
- Complimentary water, coffee, tea, and snacks throughout the tour
- Guaranteed on-time return to cruise ship (key for port days)
- No crowded group dining or forced meal stops
- Designed specifically for cruise passengers with tight schedules
What to expect
You'll board a smaller coach (rather than a full-sized bus) and spend the day exploring the Bay of Fundy's natural landmarks. The itinerary includes stops at the Reversing Falls—a tidal phenomenon where water direction reverses—and the scenic Fundy Trail Provincial Park, with time for walking and taking in coastal views. The pace is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the landscape without rushing between sites.
Breaks are built in for complimentary beverages and light snacks, though there's no formal lunch service—you'll eat before departure or bring your own. The tour wraps with a timely return to the ship, factoring in the window you need as a cruise passenger.

Good to know
This suits anyone seeking a less frantic port day: families, older travellers, and those who prefer smaller groups will appreciate the approach. You'll need moderate fitness for trail walking and the ability to handle coach travel; it's not suitable for those with spinal injuries or significant cardiovascular limitations. Wear comfortable walking shoes (no sandals). The tour is weather-dependent—bring layers or rain gear as needed. Lunch isn't provided, so eat a substantial breakfast on board. Group size keeps crowds manageable but also means limited flexibility if you want to linger at one spot. Complimentary drinks and snacks are included; anything else (souvenirs, meals off-tour) comes at your own cost.
