Why should I visit New Brunswick?
New Brunswick is very accessible, not just from the UK, but from other parts of Atlantic Canada and Quebec, so it fits well in to a fly-drive holiday, or even using the VIA Rail train
Tidal bore rafting and visiting the Hopewell Rocks are must-dos and you can also go island hopping around the three Fundy Islands; the “Fundy sisters” as they are sometimes called: Grand Manan, Campobello Island and Deer Island.
New Brunswick is also the place for whale watching – many whales live in the waters surrounding New Brunswick, including the right whale, one of the rarest whales in the world.
