SUNSET KAYAKING WITH GO FUNDY EVENTS

DOMINION PARK BEACH, 3 HOURS 

Prior to the establishment of Canada’s oldest incorporated city, Saint John, a flourishing Nation existed in the area already. Learn about how they lived along the “beautiful and bountiful river” in balance with nature and how it was integral to their movement around the region and province.

We’ll meet at the beach pre-sunset, taking some time to get you fitted with your gear before your guide goes over safety procedures and basic paddling instructions.

We launch into the lovely South Bay region of the Wolastoq (Saint John River) and follow the shoreline toward Grand Bay under the setting sun. We’ll be stopping along the way at a beach for a small bonfire to enjoy traditional Bannock as well as a smoked sturgeon platter.

At Aquila Tours Inc., we're thrilled with the shore excursion program provided by First Nations Storytellers for our cruise guests in Saint John, New Brunswick. The feedback has been outstanding, with guests raving about the enriching cultural experience.
