4.Fundy Coast to Fundy Shore Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 82 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $96

Travel from Saint John to St. Martins, where fishing boats, covered bridges, lighthouses, and tide-dependent sea caves await. Return to see the Reversing Falls and Saint John City Market with a local guide such as Abdul, Jim, or Penny. Shared transport, guide service, and cruise-port pickup are included.

“Penny was great but we didn’t have as much time as we thought we’d have at places. Leaving very little time for exploring or visiting gift shops. Also we had bus issues that stopped us as well. The AC wouldn’t allow the bus to run for a large part of the trip so we had to ride in a very stuffy van. Then the van door wouldn’t open at our last stop.”
