This activity begins at the dock, where you meet your friendly captain and be given a briefing on safety and what to expect. Next, you will board the jetboat, life jackets will be available.
We then depart from the dock and ride into the heart of the Reversing Falls Rapids! As the river fights against the force of the tides, the river seems to reverse and rapids are formed. You will experience the highest tides in the world up close in the Bay of Fundy.
While on the water, your captain will provide commentary on the history of the area, and the rapids. There is even a chance to see diverse marine life - seabirds, seals, and maybe even dolphins!
After jetting through the rapids and experiencing the tides, we return to the dock to end the tour. You will then disembark the boat and are free to explore the Saint John waterfront.
