Day Trip to St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada: Visiting the Sea Caves + Fundy Trail Parkway
Come join us for a day trip to St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada to visit the impressive sea caves and hike around Fundy Trail Parkway. Thanks to an invitation from our good family friends Joan and Garry, we had the opportunity to explore more of New Brunswick visiting some real hidden gems. The drive to Saint Martin's from Fredericton was incredibly scenic as we drove through serpentine forest roads.
Upon arriving in St Martin's we couldn't help but notice how lively it was given that there was a special home coming week taking place with about half of the local residents having big garage sales.
Our first stop was at an old grocery shop dating back to 1889 which also featured interesting souvenirs. We then headed out to visit the famous St Martin's Caves! To say they were impressive is an understatement. Visiting at various different times of the day ensures an entirely different experience depending on the tide. At certain times you can visit the caves by kayak.
From there we entered into Fundy Trail Parkway where we paid and entrance fee and drove down to Long Beach to walk along the beach and then have a delicious lunch buffet prepared by our hosts Garry and Joan.
We then continued into the park visiting the Interpretive Center, walking across a suspension bridge and going for a hike before visiting Fuller Falls.
Afterwards with seafood chowder and ice cream on our mind we headed back to St. Martin's where we first checked out some covered bridges before grabbing some delicious food.
We finished things off by visiting Red Rock before driving back to Fredericton. What an incredible day-trip in New Brunswick! Thanks again to our friends Joan and Garry for making it possible and if you have a chance to visit New Brunswick be sure to check it out as it is one of the more underrated provinces in Canada for tourism.

St Martins and the Sea Caves, New Brunswick
St. Martins is a Canadian village in Saint John County, New Brunswick. The picturesque community is 40 km east of Saint John and is situated on the Bay of Fundy.
The Village's premier attraction is the St. Martins sea caves. Walkers and hikers consult the tidal charts to find the best time to walk the ocean floor out to sea caves, caverns and arches. The tide rises, soon erasing their footsteps, filling the caves and caverns with water. The tide rises and falls every 6 hours and 13 minutes , creating new times for high and low tides every day.
Saint Martin's Sea Caves - NB
This is a beautiful stop to adventure as a family. I have been going here since I was little and still do to this day. This beautiful beach features multiple sea caves that are accessible only at low tide. There are also a few restaurants around as well. There is a take-out restaurant right along the beach, where you can bring your food onto the patio to enjoy the views of the caves, or you can be seated inside. The other restaurant is famous for it's seafood chowder. It's cozy inside, or you can sit on the deck as well. There is also a food truck across the street as well!
The walking trail is at the top of the road (to the right - You'll see the gate) It takes about 20 minutes or so to complete, depending how long you want to spend there. The views are absolutely perfect for any ocean lovers out there!

Welcome to St Martins, New Brunswick
Enjoy everything New Brunswick has to offer right here in St.Martins. Experience Fundy Trail, enter the sea caves and take in the scenery. There is truly no place like it in the world.
Canada’s Fundy Footpath hike
Join my friend and I on an REI-sponsored hike through the Fundy Footpath in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada. We were very impressed by the area, guides, and the fresh, local food rather than backpacking meals! Mike and Bri were fantastic guides. If you're interested in this REI-sponsored trip, you can learn more and register at:
If you're interested in the Sea Caves Kayak Tour, Fundy Coastline Zodiac Boat Tours, Multi-day Fundy Kayak Tours, or the shuttles listed on the board near the end of the film (or great coffee at Shipyard Cafe!), I highly recommend Red Rock Adventure, as they're great people. Visit them at:

The St. Martins Country Inn - St. Martins, New Brunswick
Situated on the Bay of Fundy, (renowned for the highest tides in the world), The St. Martins Country Inn offers travelers a little slice of Victorian luxury in the area. Owner/Operator Michelle LeClair tells us about this history of the home and what it offers today.
St Martins Sea caves - New-Brunswick
This place is out of this world!!
The tide rise, filling the caves with water and when tide is high, it can be up to 38 feet on the saint martins shores.
The amount of water that flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy in a day is equal to all of the water pumped into all of the oceans by all of the rivers of the earth. IMAGINE!!
Now that's a lot of water in only 6 hrs 13 min :P
I don't know what happened at the end, I did that flip and got all disoriented, and crashed onto a big rock. The gopro mount, along with the gopro itself flew away from the quad. I presume the lipo must had hit a rock as well, cause it was in pretty rough shape loll
End up with a smashed lipo, a broken arm, a dented motor bell, and one of the XSR antenna was cut :P
Good thing I had my backup quad, so my FPV road trip could continue :D
-Doing my best to travel my surrounding, and to share those beautiful places with you guys!-

New Brunswick Travel Guide (Canada) | Visiting Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Fundy & Hopewell Rocks
Come join us for our New Brunswick Travel Guide as we visit this beautiful province in maritimes of Canada visiting Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Fundy National Park and the Hopewell Rocks.
We kick things off in Fredericton, where my parents live, playing tourist by visiting the historic downtown centre, city hall, pedway, lighthouse, Odell park and legislative building as well as walking along Waterloo Row to see some historic mansions and the Fredericton Railway Bridge (pedestrian walking bridge) to grab lunch and beers at Picaroons Roundhouse.
From Fredericton we continued our road trip by heading south to visit Saint Andrews. Beautifully situated along the coast this is one of the most scenic towns in New Brunswick and great place to go boating and/or whale watching. Although we just visited briefly we really enjoyed our fish and chips and assorted seafood platter lunch and walk along the beach.
We continued onward to Fundy National Park where we set up base in a beautiful cabin located in Cape Enrage nearby Alma. From here we did several days worth of exploring Fundy National Park visiting lakes, hiking trails, beaches, rivers and more. Togo especially loved the opportunity to splash around as much as he could.
Our final stop visiting New Brunswick was at Hopewell Rocks - the most iconic attraction in the province. Having a chance to visit with beautiful weather and before the crowds descended was the perfect ending to our time in New Brunswick. If you're looking for an underrated Province to visit in Canada look no further than New Brunswick. This province has so much to offer and is well off the typical tourist radar.

New Brunswick Travel Guide (Canada) | Visiting Fredericton, Saint Andrews, Fundy National Park & Hopewell Rocks:
Today we’re going to be taking you on our family road trip across New Brunswick! After two days driving across Ontario and Quebec, we finally arrived at our destination: Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick. We show you Fredericton highlights, and then we’ll be touring the charming seaside town of St Andrews, hiking in Fundy National Park, and marvelling at the Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy, which is home to the highest tides in the whole world. We hope you’ll enjoy our tour of the province and now let’s go explore New Brunswick.
We took a break after all that food and drink, and later in the afternoon we drove to Odell Park so that Togo could enjoy a walk in the woods.
We showed my parents a few of the city landmarks stopping at Town Hall, the lighthouse, and the Legislative Building, and then it was time to hop in the car and start this road trip!
Our next destination was St Andrews, about a 2 hour drive away. This is a very picturesque seaside town where you can do whale-watching excursions, boat tours, and enjoy delicious seafood.
Because it was such a hot day, we also made time to find a beach so that Togo could splash around.
Then, it was time to hop back in the car and drive to our next destination: Cape Enrage where we had rented a cottage for the next 2 nights. It was about a 3 hour drive to get there with a few stops for the dog along the way. We had to cross all of Fundy National Park.
The following morning, we got an early start and made our way to Fundy National Park for some hiking. After a few days of driving, Togo was thrilled to be out in the woods leading his pack down the trails.
After a little snack on the picnic tables, we got back in the car and drove towards Herring Cove to give Togo a chance to play in the water. Alma is a small town located just outside the park, so they picked up some fish and chips with coastal views.
That afternoon, we continued exploring the rest of Fundy National Park and visited two different lakes. The fog was starting to roll in as we drove back to the cottage that afternoon, and shortly after, it started to rain. We were lucky enough to have a special visitor: this deer!
The next day was another early start because it was our last day in the province and we couldn’t miss the Hopewell Rocks!

Fundy Trail Parkway & Sea Kayaking | Bay of Fundy, Canada Travel Journal
Last weekend we traveled to Saint Martins to do some sea kayaking and check out a new addition to the Fundy Trail Parkway.
Red Rock Adventure took us on a tour of some of the amazing sea caves and places that you can only get to by boat!
The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world and seeing it from the water was a really unique experience. After we finished our kayak tour we had lunch at the Caves Restaurant and drove along the newest section of the parkway, which is opening on June 24th. The new lookouts are amazing include the famous Walton Glen Gorge which has been dubbed the Grand Canyon of New Brunswick

Visitando St. Martins y Fundy Trail en Nuevo Brunswick, Canadá
En este video nos vamos de paseo a St. Martins, un pueblito ubicado sobre la Bahía de Fundy en la provincia de Nuevo Brunswick. Comenzamos el día visitando las Cuevas del Mar (Sea Caves), unas cuevas sobre la costa donde una puede entrar durante marea baja, pero que se llenan de agua durante marea alta. De ahí continuamos al Parque Fundy Trail Parkway, donde paseamos por la playa Long Beach, disfrutamos un rico picnic con vistas del mar, caminamos por los senderos y visitamos una cascada. Luego regresamos al pueblo de St. Martins a probar el famoso 'chowder' (una sopa de pescado y mariscos). Terminamos el paseo en Red Rock Beach, una linda playa de rocas rojas. Esperamos que disfruten este video de otro rinconcito en la provincia de Nuevo Brunswick!

Hear the Otherworldly Sounds of Skating on Thin Ice | National Geographic
This small lake outside Stockholm, Sweden, emits otherworldly sounds as Mårten Ajne skates over its precariously thin, black ice. “Wild ice skating,” or “Nordic skating,” is both an art and a science. A skater seeks out the thinnest, most pristine black ice possible—both for its smoothness, and for its high-pitched, laser-like sounds.

Black ice is recently frozen, and can be as thin as 2 inches and still support the weight of a skater. Like a dome or arch, the support comes from the sides rather than the top, and the water underneath prevents the ice from breaking. But, experience and careful advance planning are key. Factors including temperature, atmospheric conditions, and even satellite images of the Earth’s surface are considered. It’s complicated, but appealing to mathematicians like Ajne. Even with preparation, there’s a risk of falling in… So it’s best done in groups, for safety.

Rock climbing adventure Red Rocks
Daily Vlog #33 - It's our last full day here at the Red Rock rendezvous in Las Vegas. There is always fresh coffee brewing a short distance from tent city so it makes the morning a little easier to start. Even though we are sleeping in the Vanagon you get the most amazing feeling when you wake up and take a peak outside your window and see these giant red cliffs with the sun just starting it's orange morning sunrise. It's truly amazing!! We jumped on the bus after coffee and met up with pro climber Ethan Pringle for an awesome climb session. We were lucky that the climb approach was short, you can get stuck with miles and miles of walking before a climb sometimes. After a full day of climbing it ended with an amazing BBQ back at camp! I couldn't of asked for a better day! Well maybe it could have been better if Astrid was well enough to climb ;)

How to Vlog? This is the question I asked myself as I started out the new year. I am always looking to be more creative and I decided that this year will be the year that I start a daily vlog. So sitback and step into my daily life.
Vlogging is totally new to me, but I hope to bring you on all my travels, adventures and all around exploring.
A little bit about myself:
I live in San Diego and love all things creative. I am a webmaster for work but do all sorts of things including design, photography and anything that involves using my hands or creativity.
My wife and I are avid rock climbers and love go to on adventures in our 88 Vanagon. We traveled to last year all around Mexico, China, Bali, Hawaii and throughout California and Neveda. I am hoping that 2016 will bring more excitement and more travels, so be sure to subscribe :)

I use a Canon 70d combined with a Canon G7X for all my Vlogs.
Our epic journey through the Fundy Footpath. Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada
The Foot Path is difficult, inspiring and beautiful.
Some tips and things we learned:
We took 3-1/2 days to complete. From St. Martins to Fundy National Park. The total of the Fundy Footpath is 44kms (roughly- they're changing some things and have updated the guide book after we did it). Then you have to hike to Fundy park. You can take the new trail which is 12kms (I think), or the old Goose River Trail which is 8kms and more of a bike path/service road and not very scenic. (a nice short cut though). The new path is longer but apparently very nice. Will do that next time!
Very important notes on logistics we didn't see anywhere online:
You have to get inside the Fundy Trail Parkway to the interpretive centre by car to register and start the hike. If you are leaving a vehicle on the St. Martins side, understand that its gated inside the Fundy Trail Parkway after they close the gates. Close times vary by season, go here to check it out:
We luckily found bayoffundyadventures.com and Jordan from there was very helpful and drove us in for a fair rate so we could park our car outside the gate. It would have sucked getting back and having to wild camp on the side of the road if your car is inside the gate.
Camping the night before at in St. Martins which was cheap and a great sleep in their cabins. They have power and a heater and a bed which was bueno.
Go get your gear at they know their stuff and have great products!
