Kayak Fundy - FreshAir Adventure offers guided sea kayaking excursions that let you experience the world's highest tides up close. Based in the charming fishing village of Alma, the tours paddle through the nutrient-rich waters of the Bay of Fundy, where you can spot seals, seabirds, and maybe even whales. The guides are knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and ensure safety while sharing stories of the region's maritime heritage. What makes this distinctive is the chance to paddle near the iconic Hopewell Rocks at low tide or explore sea caves and cliffs as the tide rises. The experience is intimate, with small groups, and suitable for beginners as well as experienced paddlers. You'll be provided with all necessary gear, including a kayak, paddle, life jacket, and spray skirt. The tours typically last a few hours, and the scenery changes dramatically with the tides, making each trip unique.
