The Itinerary
Grand Manan, the Bay of Fundy's largest island, is a hidden gem: 145 km² with cliffs, lighthouses and whales, reached by a 1h30 ferry from Blacks Harbour.
The island hosts 18 whale species in summer (right whales, humpbacks, dolphins, porpoises). Swallowtail Lighthouse (1860) is the iconic lighthouse. Hole-in-the-Wall, a pierced rock formation, is a classic postcard shot. Whale's Cove inspired Winslow Homer's painting. Bay scallops, herring smokehouses, fish chowder in local restaurants.
