St. John, New Brunswick, Canada

Make sure you catch the high tide! Twice a day, it sends water churning up the St. John River to create the spectacular reversing falls in a narrow gorge. On a jet boat ride, you could see it up close! Peruse Canada’s oldest continuing museum, the New Brunswick Museum, with its natural history displays, local artworks and innovative modern tidal feature.
