Tidal bore rafting is a MUST on a Nova Scotia road trip. It's one of the funnest things we've ever done and truly unforgettable. Think of it as white water rafting but on a tidal bore.

The Shubenacadie Tidal Bore Rafting Resort offers an exciting adventure for thrill-seekers and nature lovers looking to experience the world's highest tides where the Bay of Fundy meets the Shubenacadie River. As the only Indigenous-owned tidal bore rafting experience on the river, guests can connect with Mi'kmaq traditions and culture while splashing through waves and getting drenched with salty water.

You'll ride the waves of one of the world's largest tidal changes, see dozens of bald eagles, and smile until your face hurts. If you want, you can participate in mud-slide at the end of the trip (which was our favorite part).

Reserve in advance!! These do sell out and aren't available every day. Depends on the tide chart. You can book

• Normal tide

• High tide

• Extreme tide

We booked an "extreme tide" day and loved it. The waves were as high as 8 - 10 feet at times, and was thrilling but safe. I've heard the normal tide can be a bit boring at times, so try to book high or extreme tide if possible.
