Grand Manan Island Saint John St. Martins Big Slamon River Cradle Brook Martin Head Rose Brook Bay of Fundy NEW BRUNSWICK NOVA SCOTIA ITINERARY DAY 1: SAINT JOHN  Travel independently to Saint John. Overnight in a centrally located four star hotel. DAY 2: SAINT JOHN TO GRAND MANAN  Today we transfer by ferry to the small island of Grand Manan. We’ll spend the afternoon touring the island before heading out on a sunset kayaking exploration of the beautiful, secluded coves. DAY 3: GRAND MANAN  Take in the breathtaking scenery on this coastal hike from Seal Cove to Pat’s Cove via Flocks of Sheep. The name comes from fishermen thinking these large white granite boulders, placed by glaciers on top of the black lava spires, looked like flocks of sheep. Along the hike, reclaimed lobster traps serve as benches that overlook the ocean and remote beaches. Delight in an afternoon whale watching excursion. DAY 4: GRAND MANAN TO ST. MARTINS   Today is a travel day. We return back to the mainland by ferry and drive up the coast to the village of St. Martins. Enjoy an afternoon walk along the beach. If the tide is right we will visit the famous Sea Caves. DAY 5: BIG SALMON RIVER TO CRADLE BROOK  Enjoy a spectacular hike up the first part of the Fundy Footpath. Well-deserved beautiful coastal views abound from all angles as steep ascents and descents make the Footpath challenging. The trail crew has built cabled stairs to make the steepest sections easier. Untouched and unfrequented beaches make for perfect rest breaks and picnic spots. DAY 6: CRADLE BROOK TO MARTIN HEAD  In the morning, we’ll transfer back to Cradle Brook to continue the next section. More coastal vistas abound along the longest stretch of wilderness coastline on the Eastern Seaboard. We’ll return to our charming country inn with time to relax or visit the Quaco Head Lighthouse. DAY 7: MARTIN HEAD TO ROSE BROOK  Today is our last day on the Fundy Footpath. We begin at Martin Head and will finish at Rose Brook. For this section, we must really be mindful of the tidal changes, as some parts of the trail are only accessible at low tide. Tonight we’ll dine on delicious Atlantic Salmon as part of our farewell beach barbecue. DAY 8: DEPART 21 "The Bay of Fundy… this place is mighty spectacular." – Lynn M.
