Best times to photograph the Reversing Falls
The most dramatic views occur:
- About 30–60 minutes before and after high tide, when the Bay of Fundy pushes the river upstream and the rapids are at their strongest.
- Around slack tide, when the river briefly appears calm before reversing direction—a fascinating sight if you want to witness the change in flow.
For this coming week, some excellent viewing windows are:
- Monday: 11:45 AM–12:45 PM
- Tuesday: 12:25 PM–1:25 PM
- Wednesday (Canada Day): 1:05 PM–2:05 PM
- Thursday: 1:45 PM–2:45 PM
- Friday: 2:20 PM–3:20 PM
If you’re planning photography, a telephoto lens can capture the whirlpools and standing waves, while a wide-angle lens works well from the observation platforms overlooking the rapids.
