To Know:
All departures are weather-permitting.
Huntley’s will ‘make the call” ~2 hours before departure, if not sooner.
Full-refunds are offered for weather-related cancellations.

To ensure the correct survival suit size, the height and weight of every guest will be asked for in advance.

Transportation pick-ups and drop-offs are available from Halifax, the South Shore, and the Annapolis Valley, for an additional cost.

To Bring:

Please dress in layers.
The survival suits can get cozy.
Water-resistant footwear or boots would be most comfortable. 

Bringing your cell phone or personal camera is at your own risk, as we will be on the water, sometimes moving at high speeds, enjoying the natural motion of the Bay of Fundy!

A waiver to-be-completed will be presented in advance of departure.

— World’s Highest Tide Tours —

The Minas Basin

The Bay of Fundy's highest tides in the world are awe-inspiring and romantic. Their moderating rhythms provide the Annapolis Valley a dramatic pulse found nowhere else in the world.
 
Captain Huntley's Nova Endeavour is an authentic, Nova Scotia work boat with plenty of experience on these mighty waters. Cruise by the sandstone-sculpted Medford coastline before marveling in the shadows of majestic Cape Blomidon.  Parrsboro, the coastal, artistic community across the basin, is walkable and very excited to welcome you.
