"Beach crawl" on the coastline to see interesting intertidal species and plants. You may see barnacles, various crustaceans and periwinkles. Look on the rocky shores and coastal flats during low tides for tidepools and exposed areas. But keep an eye on the timing of the tides so that you aren't caught by high waves and water.
Challenge yourself on the Fundy Circuit. This system of seven linked trails will take you three to five days on average to complete. You'll hike past lakes, along coastlines and through valleys. Several campgrounds along the way will give you a place to spend the nights.
Hike the trails within the park. This popular activity will get you up close to the natural landscape and wildlife. Choose between easier strolls and more challenging day hikes around the park. While you're on the trail, keep an eye out for wildlife species like deer, moose and northern flying squirrel.
Watch the Fundy tides roll in. The tides here are some of the highest in the world and many people find it interesting to watch the landscape fill back up with water. In Alma during low tide, you can see fishing boats resting on the ocean floor. If you can, visit a spot during both low and high tides to see the vast difference in the landscape, but be sure to pick a safe spot to view the high tides.
Birdwatch in the park, particularly during spring and fall migration periods. Over 200 species of birds have been sighted within the park, offering a great place for birders to add to their life list. The peregrine falcon can also be seen in the Bay of Fundy cliffs throughout the year.
Swim in the heated salt water swimming pool overlooking the Bay of Fundy. You'll find the pool off of Point Wolfe Road and it's open from June to September. The protected spot is shielded from cool winds, making it a great place to enjoy a sunny afternoon. You can also swim in several of the park's lakes, although the beaches are unsupervised.
Snowshoe or cross-country ski during the winter months on the park's trails. You'll find both groomed and ungroomed trails. The Laverty Auto Trail makes a great snowshoe trail where you'll often find wildlife tracks.
