Fredericton: A Historic Riverfront Charm
Journey to Fredericton, New Brunswick's picturesque capital nestled along the Saint John River. Step back in time at Kings Landing Historical Settlement, a vibrant living museum where costumed interpreters transport you to 19th-century New Brunswick. Explore historic buildings and interact with animals, gaining a unique insight into the province's rich past. You'll experience the charm of a bygone era.
Hopewell Rock Provincial Park: Epic Tides and Flowerpots
Conclude your adventure with a drive through Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, to the incredible Hopewell Rocks. Here, you'll experience the world's highest tides firsthand, walking on the ocean floor at low tide and marvelling at the unique "flowerpot" rock formations. Imagine kayaking around their tops at high tide.
From the land: The Indigenous Cultural Path
The Elsipogtog Mi'kmaq Cultural Center in Elsipogtog First Nation, New Brunswick, offers an invaluable and immersive experience.

This often begins with a warm, traditional greeting and a smudging ceremony within a communal teepee, offering a spiritual cleansing and connection to the land.
