What you can expect: To start your adventure, meet us by the beach at the Five Islands Provincial Day-Use Park, a scenic lookoff with a perfect view of the Bay of Fundy tides and a scattering of mysterious islands. Here you will be greeted by palaeontologists from the Fundy Geological Museum. They will be your companions, ready to guide you on a journey through time back to an era when the Bay of Fundy region was full of sand dunes and large dinosaurs walked on Earth.

Then, pause for light local refreshments before taking a journey with your personal guides to explore the ocean floor and learn the secrets of the towering cliffs. Your guides will bring the vibrant sandstone cliffs alive and introduce you to fossils, rocks, minerals, and bustling tidepools.
