  • Come join us for a day trip to St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada to visit the impressive sea caves and hike around Fundy Trail Parkway. Thanks to an invitation from our good family friends Joan and Garry, we had the opportunity to explore more of New Brunswick visiting some real hidden gems. The drive to Saint Martin's from Fredericton was incredibly scenic as we drove through serpentine forest roads.
    Upon arriving in St Martin's we couldn't help but notice how lively it was given that there was a special home coming week taking place with about half of the local residents having big garage sales.
    Our first stop was at an old grocery shop dating back to 1889 which also featured interesting souvenirs. We then headed out to visit the famous St Martin's Caves! To say they were impressive is an understatement. Visiting at various different times of the day ensures an entirely different experience depending on the tide. At certain times you can visit the caves by kayak.
    From there we entered into Fundy Trail Parkway where we paid and entrance fee and drove down to Long Beach to walk along the beach and then have a delicious lunch buffet prepared by our hosts Garry and Joan.
    We then continued into the park visiting the Interpretive Center, walking across a suspension bridge and going for a hike before visiting Fuller Falls.
    Afterwards with seafood chowder and ice cream on our mind we headed back to St. Martin's where we first checked out some covered bridges before grabbing some delicious food.
    We finished things off by visiting Red Rock before driving back to Fredericton. What an incredible day-trip in New Brunswick! Thanks again to our friends Joan and Garry for making it possible and if you have a chance to visit New Brunswick be sure to check it out as it is one of the more underrated provinces in Canada for tourism.

You guys did a great job promoting the beauty all around the area i love that you acknowledged the covered wooden bridges they are amazing with so much history behind them we truly need to keep these beauties but their future is at risk even here. My favorite beach close by is Browns beach so many people come to simply visit the caves if they only ventured further to the Fundy trail, Browns beach, Duck pond or Moore's for a ice cream cone days can be spent on day trips in this local area. Thank you so much for this video i will share and your absolutely right this area is a hidden gem.

    That place reminds me of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My parents went to Niagara Falls in New York when I was a child. I don't remember much about the trip. My father started driving into Canada. I was expecting the trip to Canada to be like a trip to Florida or Texas. I was expecting to see people, shopping centers, and homes everywhere. Canada has a population of 37 million people. Texas has a population of 29 million. Canada is 15 times larger than Texas. So much of Canada is unsettled territory.

    • @samuelandaudrey
      @samuelandaudrey  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks Brian! That is so true. California has a bigger population than Canada by 2.5 million. Most of the 37 million is within driving distance of the border. The further north you go in Canada the more remote it gets.

    • @KingsportMan
      @KingsportMan 4 роки тому

      I hope you all get a chance to see Gatlinburg, Tennessee someday if you have never been there. I'm sure Canada becomes more remote as you travel further north because of the cold weather. I remember watching a documentary about people living in Alaska. A man was trying to start a snowmobile. The engine was frozen. He had to build a fire and thaw the engine before he could start it. It was 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit outside. I can't imagine living there. I start feeling miserable when it's 40 degrees above zero.
