Where do you need to go in 2012?
Frommer’s travel guide has published its top destinations list for 2012 and the Bay of Fundy (both its New Brunswick and Nova Scotia sides) is the only Canadian entry on it. Canadian Maritimers have known for years, but the remainder of the world is starting to catch on that the Bay of Fundy is a must-visit destination. According to Frommer’s, the Bay of Fundy is expected to be a real hot spot in 2012:
“For a little while, waters come to strange calm in the Bay of Fundy; 100 billion tons of seawater pause before gradually reversing flow. In six hours and 13 minutes tourists will walk the sea floor some 50 feet below the spot where sea kayakers now paddle. These are the world’s highest tides, best experienced at Hopewell Cape on Canada’s east coast.
This enormous bay between Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Maine has one of the planet’s most dynamic and dramatic shores and attracts millions of migrating shorebirds. Nutrient-rich waters are pantry and nursery for 12 species of whales and whale-watching tops options for interaction with nature. The Bay of Fundy’s geological landscape of awesome rock cliffs, tide-sculpted towers of sandstone, swamp plateaus, and beaches make this one massive natural destination that is simple to access and enjoy.

Country hotels, B&Bs, resorts, hostels and campgrounds offer hospitality going back to the early 1600s when Samuel Champlain’s Order of Good Cheer made great feasts by harvesting land and sea. Culinary options range from lobster at the shore to fine dining or coastal wineries. These supply a welcome repast after a day of excitement made up of jet boating the reversing falls, tidal bore rafting or river running at Shubenacadie, wilderness hiking along the Fundy Trail, or rappeling or ziplining at Cape Enrage.
