Rafting in the Shubenacadie tidal bore
The Bay of Fundy receives the highest tides of the world which rises up to 15m every day. These extremely high tides results in a high tidal wave which is also known as bore that flows to the Feeder Rivers at the time of high tide. As a result of this bore, the Shubenacadie River in Nova Scotia has become extremely popular for the tidal bore rafting. The height of the wave however depends on the phase of the moon; it will foretell the rafters whether they are going to experience wild or mild.
