Excursion Accessible saint john city sights tour at Saint John

This tour uses an accessible mini-coach equipped with a motorized wheelchair lift, and is designed for guests with mobility challenges and their companions to see the highlights of Saint John.

After boarding your accessible mini-coach at the pier, depart on a tour to see the highlights of Saint John. As your guide takes you past prominent landmarks and historic buildings, you will be introduced to the many fascinating personalities and events that shaped Saint John, Canada's oldest incorporated city.

Your first stop is at Rockwood Park, with a lakeside visit and a drive through the park itself. Next, stop to view the famous Reversing Falls Rapids at Fallsview Park, touted as the sight no one should miss on a visit to Saint John. From the bluffs, your guide will explain that twice daily the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy rise faster than the river can empty. When this happens, the mighty tides push the river water upstream, causing the rapids to run in the opposite direction and the Saint John River to flow backwards.

Continuing on, a short stop at the Old City Market allows you time to explore the old market and chat with the vendors before boarding your mini-coach and returning to the ship.
