ABOUT GRAND MANAN ISLAND

Grand Manan Island, in Canada's Bay of Fundy, is a great place to spend a day or your entire vacation. Accommodations on the Island are diverse and includes historic country inns and lodges, sea side cottages, B&B's, sea side/cliff side camping, and a motel. There is something for every taste and budget.

Finding the right thing to do is easy too. We have three small museums, craft and art shops, fantastic hiking trails, limitless opportunities for photography, art and sightseeing, some of the best bird watching you will ever find, sea kayaking, bicycling, beaches, deserted islands, and some of the best whale watching in the world (where else can you find 1/3 of the world population of right whales - total world population of less than 325 animals). Grand Manan is also the perfect place to do nothing, and no one will give you a hard time about it either.

Getting here is an adventure too. You start your adventure to Grand Manan Island with a 90 minute ferry ride on one of the two ferries that serve the Island.

Many people travel to Grand Manan just for the day, leaving their cars at the ferry terminal parking lot at Black's Harbour and walking on the ferry. There is plenty to do within walking distance of the ferry terminal on the island, including a whale watching tour with Whales-n-Sails Adventures (take the 7:30am or 9:30am crossing). We return to port in lots of time for passengers to catch the last ferry to the mainland at 7:00pm.

Grand Manan is a great "day trip" from St. Stephen/St.Andrews, Saint John, Fredericton or Moncton, or a good trip to make if you are passing by on your way to/from the other Atlantic Provinces.

The friendly people and unspoiled natural surroundings of Grand Manan have been known to turn an ordinary vacation into a vacation of a lifetime. Make Grand Manan a part of your vacation this year!
CAUTION: Some people may not want to leave!
