Bay of Fundy
The primary attraction, featuring dramatic coastlines and the world's most extreme tidal range.
Saint John River
Follow the massive river valley southward as it snakes toward the Atlantic coastline.
Minas Basin
Observe the distinctive red mudflats and swirling silt-heavy waters unique to this part of the bay.
Bedford Basin
A clear view of the massive natural harbor and the urban sprawl of Halifax during the final approach.

Expansive views of the dense, rolling wilderness that characterizes the interior of the Maritime provinces.
Cobequid Mountains
The rugged highland terrain of central Nova Scotia visible as the aircraft begins its descent.
