Despre activitate
Enjoy a guided kayaking adventure along the shores of the historic Saint John River from Dominion Park Beach in Saint John NB. Located just a short 15 minute drive from the center of the city!
History and photo opportunity abounds as you paddle in your tandem kayak along an ice aged river where 15,000 years ago receding glaciers forced the river to find a new route over the rock ridges at Reversing Falls Rapids. A light-house, pre-cambrian fossils, and an industrial story dating back to the 17th century. Explore the beautiful and bountiful river which has been the lifeblood of our region for thousands of years.
Keep your head on a swivel and an eye on the horizon for local wildlife, including bald eagles, blue heron, sturgeon, and if we're lucky, even the occasional rare sighting of harbour seal, osprey, and river otters.
** The traveller information collected at registration (age, height, weight, etc) is so we can plan appropriately with gear, (rough estimates are acceptable)

Located on Saint John’s west side, Dominion Park is a popular year-round recreation destination. In summer, the stretch of sandy beach provides ideal access to the beautiful Saint John River for swimmers and boaters.
Dominion park is the staging area for our tour. We'll meet here to get geared up and to go over safety and instruction before setting out into the river and will return back to Dominion park beach at the end of the tour.

A snapshot of what this 418 mi (673km) river has to offer. Our kayak tour takes place in South Bay, where we explore natural and historic sites near the terminus of the "Rhine of North America," the Saint John River. A region where salt and fresh water meet, just upstream from the impressive reversing rapids, creating a unique and vibrant ecosystem
Wildlife abounds, an active bald eagle nest, jumping sturgeon, great blue heron, and if you're lucky even the occasionally a harbour seal.

The site of a lime quarry likely dating back to the 17th century, Greenhead Cove is favourite stop along our tour. The site features the remains of the quarry, kiln foundations, and wharf timbers all visible from water level. A great location for a photo-op, the often protected cove is a chance to get that selfie you've been waiting for! Choose between a background of limestone cliffs, forested hills and a small beach, or Grand Bay, the roughly 16 square mile (20 sq km) confluence of the Saint John and Kennebecasis Rivers.
