So this review will be a little different... all of the other reviews saying how fun the rafting is…read moreare correct. It is an absolute blast... Having said that, being in the tidal bore is a contact sport. It's possible to fall out of the boat. And on our trip, my 14-year-old daughter fell out on the largest wave of the day along with two others on that side of the raft. When that happens, like in white water rafting, everyone on the boat participates in the rescue. Luckily my daughter is a good swimmer... we were actually more concerned about the two other ladies as our guide JD maneuvered the boat so we could full everyone back in, When my daughter got back in she had cut up both her legs and one of the wounds was bleeding pretty well. Almost immediately the lookout boat came and gave my daughter first aid for her cuts right there. Then when we got back to shore (this all happened right near the end of the ride) one of their staffers who was also a paramedic treated her cuts, which thankfully were superficial but bled well because they were on her calves. I mention all of this because this is an activity that while fun, can be dangerous. And it was so impressive that when something happened Tidal Bore had staff on hand both in the water and on shore to handle it. They could not have been more professional. There were other companies out on the water but I did not see any other first aid boats (I'm not saying they didn't exist but every other boat I saw out there was rafting, not watching). This is the company you want to do this activity with. They gave us a great time, and took care of our daughter when the going got a little tough. I would give them ten stars if I could. JD was a pro's pro, and both the first aid rafter and the paramedic guide were the best (I wish I could remember their names). I don't know if when we will be back to Nova Scotia, but when we are we will raft the tidal bore again, and it will be with the best prepared, most professional company there is, Fundy Tidal Bore Adventures.

What an amazing trip! We went at the 5:45 pm (17:45) trip and went on the 2 hour excursion. The…read moregrounds has plenty to do while you wait for everyone to arrive (corn hole, connect ford, yard Tetris, plastic axe throwing, etc.). You then make a short walk down to the receded bay to start the adventure. We were so lucky to have Tessa as our guide! She is a geologist and taught us so much about the rocks/formations we passed and made sure we had such a great time! When we hit those waves our raft was more like a tub it was so filled with water, but it was hilarious. After you get back the team is ready with hot showers, snacks and hot chocolate. As a side note - if you didn't want to wear your own shoes during the trip, they have heaps from those people left behind. Understandable, I left mine too after the amazing time in the water and the mud sliding. Will update with pics when they send us the link. Worth every cent!

If you're into adventure and the outdoors than you'll want to be sure to try out Shubenacadie River…read moreAdventure Tours. Be prepared to get wet in places you didn't even know you had, and definitely don't wear anything that you can't do without. Don't worry about trying to wear water-wear or protective gear because Adventure Tours will provide you with full rain-gear, rubber boots, life-jacket and a helmet upon your arrival. All you need to worry about is holding and trying not to swallow too much water :) You'll want to call in advance to find out when is a good time to go. Apparently they can determine the size of the waves based on the fullness of the moon - the fuller the moon, the crazier the rafting experience. Chances are that your boat will not flip over, however, there's a fair chance that somebody may fall out, this happens frequently and is not a big deal. In addition to the rafting you'll also have a chance to go mud-sliding, where you'll get ridiculously dirty and have a great time. After the rafting and mudslinging is over and you've worked up an appetite, Adventure Tours provides you with a BBQ and beverages, and you have a chance to sit down, relax and dry, or if you prefer, go for a dip in their swimming pool. You're guaranteed to have a great time!

Went today for a fantastic river trip his company. My husband and I along with our 9year old…read moredaughter and 80 year old uncle. We all had an unforgettable time! We laughed so hard riding the waves and being pummeled with the water. Such a fabulous way to spend a day in this beautiful part of Nova Scotia. I would highly recommend this trip, you and old alike.... Anyone up for an adventure will not be disappointed.
