Experience Details*
Take in the scenery as you sit back and relax on the drive to St Andrews by the Sea, a quaint town set on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. Just across the water is the historic Ministers Island, only accessible at low tide offering the rare chance to travel across the ocean floor.
As your coach takes you across the ocean floor at low tide to the island, admire the distinctive natural marine surroundings. Once on the island, enjoy a guided tour with several stops along the way. Admire the views of Passamaquoddy Bay from the iconic bathhouse, and explore the restored Maxwell Barn and the charming summer cottage of Sir William Van Horne, founder of the Canadian Pacific Railway. During your visit, a boxed lunch will be served, accompanied by a refreshing soft drink.
Crossing back over the ocean floor to St Andrews, enjoy an orientation drive of the town before taking a little free time to browse the charming shops and boutiques.
On your return drive to the port, a photo stop will be made at Fallsview Park to admire the mighty Saint John River.
