Tidal Bore Rafting Adventure in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia
The Tidal Bore Rafting Resort in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia offers one of the most unique adventures in the world. This is the only place on earth where you can go rafting on a tidal bore. A tidal bore is when ocean levels rise at the beginning of high tide and the tide is so big that it rushes back up rivers and essentially changes the rivers current pushing everything back up stream. When the two currents meet they create a crazy amount of rapids and waves that can be up to 12 feet tall. The tidal bore only lasts about an hour and is a crazy experience as you go rafting through these huge waves. Nova Scotia is the perfect location for it on the Shubenacadie river where it meets the Bay of Fundy home of the largest tides of the world.
At the Shubenacadie Tidal Bore Rafting Resort on certain dates they offer a unique experience called The Fundy Tides & Fireside Adventure. This excursion includes tidal more rafting, a lobster boil and big feast of a dinner, fireside drinks, live music and marshamallows as well as an over night stay in one of their cottages.

Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia - Canada HD Travel Channel
The Fortress of Louisbourg, a recommended destination for the whole family, is on the Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia and one of the National Historic Sites of Canada. In the true to original rebuilt parts of the town, history comes alive.
Louisbourg was originally founded by the French and expanded into an important port city. For their protection, a fort was built, which was conquered several times by the British. The history of Louisbourg is closely linked to the history of the Acadians; those who did not swear on the crown, were deported to France or had to search for a new home in New England, Quebec and New Brunswick. After the reconquest by the French, the Acadians were allowed to return. Today, their descendants live in New Brunswick, as well as in Nova Scotia and PEI and represent a significant proportion of the population.
The present town is located in some distance from the fort. At the time of the wars, the fort surrounded the former bourgeois town and served as a protection and military defence against the British. A protection that the common people, the peasants and the poor did not enjoy. They had to eke out a living outside the walls.
An inn was reconstructed as an example of a dwelling of the ordinary people; it is surrounded by a wooden scaffold for drying fish.
The Britsh conquered the town twice. After the initial conquest it was awarded to the French in the second Aachen Peace from 1748.
This did not prevent the British from a second attempt of conquest. This time, 15,000 British with 39 warships were confronting 7000 French with 11 ships. The British took the town and destroyed it completely.
The fastening walls and ditches convey the impression of an impregnable town, but the protection of the back country was illusory. From the hills of the British peered out everything that happened in the fort and their artillery reached nearly every point. Once the British had managed to establish a beachhead on land, the town fell after a seven-week siege.
A year later, Quebec City be conquered by the British.

Die Festung Louisbourg, ein empfehlenswertes Ausflugsziel für Familien, liegt auf der Kap-Breton-Insel in der Provinz Nova Scotia und ist eine der Nationalen historischen Stätten von Kanada. In den ab 1961 originalgetreu wieder aufgebauten Teilen wird die Geschichte wieder lebendig.
Ursprünglich wurde Louisbourg von den Franzosen gegründet und zu einer bedeutenden Hafenstadt ausgebaut. Zu deren Schutz wurde ein Fort gebaut, das mehrere Male von den Briten erobert wurde. Mit der Geschichte Louisbourgs ist die der Akadier verbunden: wer nicht auf die Krone schwören wollte, wurde nach Frankreich deportiert oder musste sich in Neuengland, Québec oder New Brunswick eine neue Heimat suchen. Nach der Rückeroberung durch die Franzosen durften die Akadier wiederkehren. Heute leben ihre Nachkommen in New Brunswick, aber auch in Nova Scotia und P.E.I und stellen einen bedeutenden Anteil an der Bevölkerung.
Die heutige Stadt liegt in einiger Entfernung vom Fort, das zur Zeit der Kriege gegen die britischen Eroberer die damalige bürgerliche Stadt umgab, schützte und militärisch verteidigte. Ein Schutz, den das gewöhnliche Volk, die Bauern und die Armen nicht genossen. Sie hatten das Leben außerhalb der Mauern zu fristen.
Als Beispiel für ein damaliges Wohnhaus der einfachen Menschen wurde eine Gastwirtschaft rekonstruiert, umgeben von einem Holzgerüst zum Trocknen der Fische.
Zweimal eroberten die Briten die Stadt. Nach der ersten Eroberung wurde sie im zweiten Aachener Frieden von 1748 den Franzosen zugesprochen.
Was die Briten nicht von einem zweiten Eroberungsversuch abhielt. Diesmal standen sich 15000 Briten mit 39 Kriegsschiffen und 7000 Franzosen mit 11 Schiffen gegenüber. Die Briten nahmen die Stadt ein und zerstörten sie völlig.
Die Befestigungsmauern und Gräben vermitteln den Eindruck einer uneinnehmbaren Stadt, aber gegenüber dem Hinterland war der Schutz illusorisch. Von den Hügeln aus spähten die Briten alles aus, was in der Festung geschah, und ihre Artillerie erreichte fast jeden Punkt. Nachdem es den Briten gelungen war, einen Brückenkopf an Land zu errichten, fiel die Stadt nach siebenwöchiger Belagerung.
Ein Jahr später konnte dann Québec von den Briten erobert werden.

Riding a TIDAL WAVE in Nova Scotia
While traveling through Nova Scotia Canada, The Adventure Travelers decided to take a Tidal Bore Wave ride adventure with the Shubenacadie River Runners, in the Bay of Fundy.
Riding the tidal wave of Nova Scotia was spectacular. A tidal bore wave only happens in a few parts of the world. The tidal wave occurs when you have a wide bay that funnels into a narrow channel and causes the water to rise quickly. The wave can start out small but grow to mover 10-12 feet high.
The owner of the Shubenacadie River Runners actually went on the trip with us as the safety dinghy behind all the boats. We did not have to wear helmets because the river bottom is all soft mud.
We were all advised NOT to take anything that was not fully waterproof so we were only able to bring our GoPro camera.
We were fitted with our safety life vests and jackets. The boat was powered by an outboard motor so we didn't have to paddle.
We give this adventure an honest and solid thumbs up!
