Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy is home to the world's highest tides. Visit at low tide and you can even dine on the ocean floor! Each day, twice a day, 160 billion tonnes of seawater flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy, creating one-of-a-kind adventures that literally can't be had any place else on earth!
