A life of exploration
Few people know where they’ll be every day. But from May to October, adventure guide Anna-Marie Weir does. Through Roads to Sea (roadstosea.com), she has been hosting tours seven days a week, six months a year, to the four corners of New Brunswick.
Weir started her company in 2003 after leaving a corporate job. She says, “I enjoy sharing our amazing part of the world through culture, cuisine, storytelling and meaningful experiences with the people and artisans of New Brunswick.”
Whether walking the ocean floor at the location of the world’s highest tides, sampling local wines and fresh seafood, exploring a 3,000-year-old First Nations community or experiencing an Acadian kitchen party, this high-vibe tour guide offers unique excursions that she promises will include “Maritimes hospitality and good old-fashioned fun.”—Wendy Kitts
KIDS TO SEA
There are many activities at Roads to Sea for youngsters 6 to 12 years old. Children receive a prize for completing 10 activities—such as building an inuksuk, a figure that resembles a person, out of rocks, or identifying the different kinds of seaweed found on the tour—as part of the Bay of Fundy Nature Club. (Due to safety regulations, children 5 and younger are not permitted on the tours.)—WK
