Your adventure takes place at Burntcoat Head Park on Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy, declared one of the Seven Natural Wonders of North America! Grab your rubber boots and your camera as you set off on your incredible experience. Meet local forager, Jonathan Newell; guided by his expertise, you will see, touch and taste local wild edibles and learn about the edible plants in the park.

Next you will enjoy an afternoon seafood feast atop the red rock cliffs. Brimming with the freshest Nova Scotia sustainable seafood, your meal will be paired with local craft beer and Nova Scotia’s signature Tidal Bay wine.

After lunch, you’ll be led on a private tour of beautiful Burntcoat Head Park and explore the amazing ocean floor. Walk down the stone stairs to the ocean floor to see fossils, tidal pool creatures and the impact of the powerful tides on the coastline. During the tour, the tide will ebb to its lowest point and begin rising again. As the tour ends you will be guided to the ocean floor dining table and your seat with an amazing view.

Looking up at the high tide marks on the surrounding cliffs and island, you’ll be awed knowing that the area will be covered in 50 feet of water in less than 6 hours! Indulge in a three-course meal featuring the best local ingredients paired with local wine and craft beer.

Following your amazing meal, relax by a campfire on the tidal flats to enjoy tea, coffee, and a beautiful view of the incoming tide with Mi’kmaw storytelling!
