Today we’re driving the Fundy Trail Parkway, a 30 km scenic drive along the coast of the Bay of Fundy that is said to be one of the most scenic drives in New Brunswick. And wow, did it deliver! Along the way we got to experience hikes, waterfalls, overlooks, beaches, and so much more. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!
NOTE: Drones are NOT allowed on the Fundy Trail Parkway without permission, which we obtained beforehand.

New Brunswick is one of our provinces that doesn't get all the love it deserves. Thanks for showcasing our beautiful country!! We are very proud of her.

@metaxaanabeer Год назад

Agree, totally. We are from BC and when we went cross Canada and back we "did" PEI and NS with a quick pass through of New Brunswick. However we "did" NB on our way back west and both of us agree, New Brunswick more then holds its own. Beautiful Province, beautiful people.

@MonctonRad Год назад

Excellent summary of the "Cabot Trail of NB." A bit of an update - the management of the Fundy Trail Parkway has just been taken over by the Province of New Brunswick, and, next year, it will be akin to all of our other provincial parks. This will stabilize funding levels and, it will be interesting to see how this might play out in terms of future development. I would love to see the new park expanded eastward to the boundaries of Fundy National Park, and, an access road built to Martin Head, a small island just off the coast and connected to the mainland via a sandbar. The scenery there is truly spectacular, with views of the coastal cliffs both to the east and the west. This "ironbound" coastline is truly unique along the eastern seaboard of North America. I'm glad you had the chance to experience it. New Brunswick is much more than a "drive-thru" province on the way to NS and PEI. More and more people are beginning to realize this. I hope you had a chance to visit Saint Andrews-by-the-Sea and Campobello Island.

@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад

Thanks for the info! We wish we could see and do it all! Time and budget play a factor. All the more reason to come back! And we totally agree…New Brunswick is a destination itself!

@dorisbetts3012 Год назад

Our son moved to Riverview and we have yet to explore NB even though we are from Nova Scotia. Looking forward to it. It looks amazingly beautiful!

@metaxaanabeer Год назад

I knew this from following you across BC, Yukon and into Alaska which is my turf but you two prove once again you are far more than tourists, you are travelers! Finding Fundy National Park was one thing but finding and doing the Fundy Trail is something even most Canadians don't know about.

@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад

Thank you for the kind words! We especially love visiting spots that are lesser known. New Brunswick was full of gems!

Hi A@K, happy you enjoyed your Trek of Fundy National Park. Unfortunately never had the oppurnity to visit the southern part of NB while growing up there, and on returning it was always visiting the parents. Thank you for sharing. Incredible scenery, Im so happy you enjoyed my home province. Look forward to the next vid!

@dorisbetts3012 Год назад

Agreed, and I'm from Nova Scotia!

@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад

It was such a gorgeous province! We knew it would be pretty, but it blew us away!

@bradgingerich6814 Год назад

What a drive! New Brunswick is gorgeous!!! I’m so glad you got to do this…the scenery is just outstanding!!!

@terribolding8162 Год назад

As always, an epic video of a part of our beautiful country! Thank you!

@derbagger22 18 дней назад

Bummed I'm seeing this now as I'm home from our Newfoundland/Nova Scotia trip. Didn't know about this. Will have to check this out next time. But I recognize the former railroad bridge on the NS side as we stopped on our way back from Burntcoat Head park. Will check out that vid...

@maryl2224 Год назад

The scenery looks breathtaking! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate how you include travel details - cost to drive on private road, open certain hours depending on the month, etc. Best to you both!

@johnlenart597 Год назад

Returning from my 2 wheel trips, it's always nice to continue on with you three as you explore so much more that I've missed. Your efforts to make the filming and background music is truly amazing. I just turned 70 and my willingness to travel and see more is still there. As Spock said, "Live long and prosper ". Love your dance moves. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

@williamthawley9251 Год назад

keep on traveling, we are in mid 70s, and are planning a month long trip to maine, moosehead lake, aroostook valley, and of cour;se acadia. we were going to new brunswick and nova scotia, but we love maine too much. thanks for showing us the fundy drive.

Loved the drone footage in this video. Looking forward to more 😊

@ritchiemunn Год назад

Excellent footage! Enjoy following and all the great content you provide, even more so when it’s my province and my back yard only 30-40 mins from Saint John. A great motorcycle ride that I do often each season.

@dorisbetts3012 Год назад

Must tell my husband and son that. They may like to ride the area. Our son now lives un Riverview.

@bobculhane4746 11 месяцев назад

Wow the views of the coast were amazing loved 😍 the waterfall, caves, and the dance 💃 🕺 moves on that suspension bridge 😂

@privatename8228 Год назад

Wow! I live in nearby Nova Scotia and these sights were all new to me! Those drone shots were spectacular!

@stevedietrich8936 Год назад

Nice scenery. I really didn't have much of an idea of what New Brunswick looked like because we almost never see any pictures from there. Kona is getting her share of water sports time.

@dorisbetts3012 Год назад

Hidden Canadian gem!

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

Kona is loving her water time here in Canada! We think New Brunswick gets overlooked, but it is a destination in itself if you ask us!

@dustinwall1552 Год назад

Wow! We just traveled the Fundy Trail Parkway too and were really impressed by the rugged terrain. It reminded me of California's PCH as well. The hiked the Walton Gorge too, but couldn't do the Eye of the Needle because our kids are too young, so I really appreciated seeing your video of that trail. Thanks!

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

Yeah the end of the Eye of the Needle trail would be tricky with kids! It is such a beautiful park and area isn't it!? Thanks and thanks for watching!

@SchaferBob1 Год назад

Wow, what a great video! I have never been to this area and your video with the drone and regular footage was amazing! I especially enjoyed the canyon and all of the beaches. Some of those areas looked a little treacherous for hiking especially the water crossings and that wooden stairwell! Keep up your contagious energy and enthusiasm and thanks for sharing your trip!

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

Some of the hiking is pretty adventurous! Thankfully there are lots of hiking options in the park...there's something for everyone! Thank you and thanks for watching!

@TheBeatenPaths 9 месяцев назад

I'm from New Brunswick. I used to hike down into Walton Glen Gorge before that area was turned into a tourist attraction, even before the parkway was built. I spent the night in the gorge approximately halfway between the falls and the eye of the needle. Amazing experience. I also visited where that elevated lookoff platform is, before it was built.

@AdventuresofAplusK 9 месяцев назад

How cool! It's an awesome spot!

@williamleopold507 11 месяцев назад

So glad you are having a lovely visit to our neighboring New Brunswick , we are in Nova Scotia . Worlds highest tides here .

Awesome I live close to the trail. Great drone shots. You two put on a lot of miles. 😊

@TracyKMainwaring 11 месяцев назад

Your video came out a couple days before we went, but i didn't watch it (data is expensive in Canada). I was injured so we couldn't do much hiking, but one beach trail on the pamphlet said 0.1km. I think that was from the parking to the start. After hiking several hundred metres we got to a sign that said something like 3km to the beach. Disappointed but i knew i couldn't climb back up if we went on. We also saw the Sea Captains grave yard and did the suspension bridge. We had started with the Sea Caves and by the time we got on the Parkway, it was later in the afternoon so we mostly enjoyed the scenic drive back to Fundy NP.

@alrichardson7027 11 месяцев назад

Hello Adventurers 👍😊👍😊👍😊👍😊👍, WOW! I'm looking at all those steps climbing up up and AWAY! These waterfalls are ABSOLUTELY ridiculous 👍👍👍! I'm thrilled that your enjoying the Fundy shoreline. I hope that you got to Hopewell Rocks. We...that's my son are enjoying this amazing video. We've enjoyed this so much. Can't wait to see what's next. OUTSTANDING!

@mbrooks5555 Год назад

This drive has just been added to my travel wish list - thank you!!! I'm guessing another reason why it took you 11 hours to drive was because of all your BEAUTIFUL drone shots you take (in addition to your regular shots)!! Love when you start a drone shot up-close and waving so we can see the start of the pan out with you in the pictures! Thanks again for sharing!!

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

Yes the filming and drone shots add so much time! 😂 If we weren't filming it wouldn't have taken nearly as long, but there is lots to do! Thank you!

@nwdixieboy Год назад

So beautiful. I learned to love nature in flat, boring Miss. so that now that I live in Seattle I never tire of the abundance of superlative nature because I got used to so much less dramatic scenery as a kid. I don't travel anymore so your videos are "getting me out" of the house.

@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад

We LOVED living in Seattle and we hope you do too! We never ever got sick of seeing Mount Rainier out. Truly one of the most spectacular sights in the lower 48!

@jpadicecoffee9812 Год назад

It's nice to take a detour to an unplanned place on the road trip. Like the cliffs and wide beaches of NB, reminds me of Central CA... Still waiting to see what indy coffee shop and food places you stumble across.

@dorisbetts3012 Год назад

You won't find many in rural NB compared to California, that's for sure!

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

The Fundy Trail Parkway was an amazing find!

@cathleen3192 Год назад

Love all of your videos - they are beautiful and well done! It’s great that you take your pup everywhere - have you considered hiking with a harness on in case she slips and you need to grab her, especially on those narrow ledges?

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

Thank you Cathleen! We used to use a harness on Kona for years and she constantly pulled like a sled dog. She did 7 weeks at a board and train program a couple years ago and they trained her on the prong collar. She doesn't pull like she used to at all. A way to grab her on ledges would be nice, but the current set up is much more enjoyable for all involved. Thanks and thanks for watching!

@juniperdog5523 11 месяцев назад

It is cool that you are seeing things that many Canadians never see. I don’t know if you went to Cape Breton or not but I am wondering if this area of New Brunswick is as nice as Cape Breton.

@AdventuresofAplusK 11 месяцев назад

No we haven’t been yet. We’re saving that for the fall to hopefully see the beautiful foliage! We’re so thankful we are able to see so much of Canada!
