Story & Photos by Cheri Sicard Covered in this Feature:
Home of the Bay of Fundy, which is in turn, home of the awe-inspiring highest tides in the world, it doesn't take a lot of detective work to figure out why anyone seeking an active, nature filled vacation might come to think of New Brunswick as paradise. The New Brunswick offices of tourism have made it extra easy for travelers to take advantage of their province's natural bounty, as well. Their Outdoor Network's Day Adventure Program allows visitors to choose from over seventy one exciting adventures, literally something for everyone. The day adventures are pre-planned itineraries, located throughout the province, that cover everything from the pulse accelerating high adventure of rappelling to the gentle calm of candle making -- and everything in between). The program makes it easy for the entire family to pursue their own interests. Dad may want to go fishing, the kids kayaking or horseback riding, while Mom may want to go whale watching and perhaps the grandparents are more interested in historical and heritage tours. It's all there, and reservations for all activities can be made in one quick stop. For more information on this innovative program call 800-561-1112 or write to Day Adventure Communications Centre, Department of Economic Development and Tourism, P.O. Box 6000, Fredericton, New Brunswick, E3B 5H1, Canada. All of the activities outlined in this article are part of the Day Adventures Program, although what is discussed here is merely the tip of the iceberg. I urge you to call or write for a full brochure. Be forewarned, however, choosing just a few of the myriad of activities offered will be extremely difficult. For those interested in adventures that last more than a day, a good resource is the Canada Outdoor Adventure Company, which runs year round multi-day active trips including canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, horsepacking, and even winter Snow Cat touring. For more information on this company call 800-667-2010 or write The Outdoor Adventure Company, 79 Main St., St. George, New Brunswick, Canada, E0G 2Y0 or email havefun@nbnet.nb.ca (they do day adventures as well). If you need to fly to New Brunswick, Air Canada is a good choice. You can reach them at 800-774-8993 or FAX them at 401-727-4745. Visit the New Bruswick Tourism Website New Brunswick has so much to offer the adventure traveler. This feature doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. There is just too much to do to possibly fit it all into one trip, not to mention, the activities change with the seasons. I hope to go back to beautiful New Brunswick someday. Part II of this article could include the following: lobster fishing, deep sea fishing, fly fishing, hunting, cross country skiing, dog-sledding, snow shoeing and more. Aside from all the activities, New Brunswick has a wonderful history that really comes alive at some of its parks and museums. But enough of this introductory information.

The
Canadian province of New Brunswick just might be the eco traveler's best
kept secret. The reasons why are almost too numerous to go into in one
article, but I'll give it my best (just be aware that I may miss a few
things). 
There
are numerous spots throughout the province to make reservations and get
additional information about the Day Adventures, many of them conveniently
located in inns, hotels and visitor's centers.
