Excursions and Experiences

Full-Tide Ocean Safaris, Deer Island whale watching

Welcome to Full Tide Ocean Safaris! Embark on an unforgettable whale-watching adventure aboard an authentic lobster fishing vessel and witness all that the Bay of Fundy has to offer. Full Tide Aquatic Safaris is a locally owned and operated family business. Located in the heart of the West Isles in the community of Stuart Town on picturesque Deer Island, we are just a 20-minute FREE ferry ride from L’etete NB. Our ideal location places our departure point 30 minutes closer to the whale feeding ground than that of other operators, thereby increasing the likelihood of whale sightings. Our lifelong ties to this area and passion for preserving this way of life are reflected in our tours and the respect we show to the nature around us.

Excursions and Experiences

Kov Nordic Spa

KŌV is a Nordic spa inspired experience located just a few minutes away from the resort town of St. Andrews by-the-Sea. What makes KŌV unique is that it offers a private spa experience, the first of its kind in New Brunswick. When guests book a session at KŌV, they get exclusive, private access to all the facilities for their entire allotted time. Guests can choose to have a fully guided experience with their hosts or enjoy a private experience. During the session, guests and their groups can access the wood-fired cedar barrel sauna, jetted whirlpool spa/hot tub, and cold plunge tubs. Three cold plunge tubs are available for those who want to participate in the entire thermal cycle ritual. The wood-fired cedar hot tub is included in the four-hour bookings and can be booked as part of a custom booking for smaller groups or shorter bookings. Guests can also experience the cold phase of the thermal cycle ritual in the cove, where the tides and weather permit. As the spa sits on a basin of the Bocabec River, the little cove enjoys a twice-daily refresh from the Bay of Fundy as the tide comes in. Guests are also invited to enjoy the Lagom Lounge, KŌV's indoor rest area that they can use if they choose not to be outdoors by the fire due to inclement weather. The lounge is comfortably furnished, where guests can relax with herbal tea, read a book, and rest before resuming another thermal cycle experience. KŌV features one private washroom and shower room for its guests and three outdoor rest areas by a wood fire in a cozy Adirondack chair, closer to the Bocabec River and next to the custom-built fire cauldron. There is also a fire table near the main amenities of the sauna and hot tubs, as well as a meditation platform near the hammocks and chairs thoughtfully placed in the trees.
