TIDAL BORE RAFTING TOURS NOVA SCOTIA

Experience the excitement and adventure of TIDAL BORE RAFTING on the Shubenacadie River... Nova Scotia's largest river. The incoming tides of the Bay of Fundy enter the "V" shaped Cobequid Bay, as the tide progresses into the shallowing and narrowing river, the water begins to "pile-up". This phenomenon creates what is known as a "tidal bore", The tidal Bore represents the lead wave of the incoming tide. Behind the tidal bore, tidal rapids form. The Tidal Bore itself can range in size from a few inches to up to 10 feet! The tidal rapids range in size from 3' to 16' in height.

Our tours are timed so as to witness and raft on the incoming tidal bore. After the tidal Bore reaches deeper water, we raft on the tidal rapids that form. The tidal rapids occur when the incoming tide flows over sand bars. The combination of the fast moving tide and the shallow sand bars creates tidal rapids. The Shubenacadie River is home to one of the highest concentrations of nesting Bald Eagles in the world. With towering, multicolored cliffs providing the backdrop, your tidal bore rafting trip is as scenic as it is exciting.
