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 decades, but the remainder of the world is beginning to catch on that the Bay of Fundy is a must-visit location. According to Frommer's, the Bay of Fundy is anticipated to be a real hot spot in 2012:
"For just a moment, waters come to peculiar calm in the Bay of Fundy; 100 billion tons of seawater pause before gently reversing flow. In 6 hours and 13 minutes travellers will walk the sea floor some 50 feet below the spot where sea kayakers paddled. These are the highest tides in the world, best experienced at Hopewell Cape on Canada's east coast.
This large bay between Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Maine has one of the world's most dynamic and dramatic coastlines and lures millions of migrating
shorebirds each year. Nutrient-laden waters are pantry and nursery for over 12 different species of whales and whale-watching is a favourite option for interaction with nature. The Bay of Fundy's geological landscape of awe-inspiring rock cliffs, tide-sculpted towers of sandstone, marsh plateaus, and beaches make this one huge natural destination that's straightforward 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 all the way from lobster at the shore to fine dining or coastal wineries. These offer 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.
