Hi my name is Maila (my-la), I have more than 10 years of experience as a tour guide providing tours across New Brunswick. It started out as a hobby - sharing the vibrant nature and history of the province with friends and family. I want everyone to see New Brunswick and all the beauty it has to offer. There are so many gems around our province that only a true local like myself would know about. My goal is to show you the sites, share the culture, make you laugh, and eat good food along the way! I can speak 5 languages: Dari, Farsi, Hindi, Urdu, and English! Communication is not an issue as I ensure that everyone is actively engaged - there is never a dull moment! I do not guide ordinary tours, I guide extraordinary tours - Let me make your tour of New Brunswick unique! -Licensed Tour Guide -Licensed to Provide Transport There are no restrictions at this time.

Discover Reversing Rapids, Hopewell Rocks & Fundy National Park
Overview of your Saint John New Brunswick tour
My family and I were welcomed by a warm community when we moved here over 20 years ago. Being immigrants it was very important for us to learn the history of Saint John, the oldest incorporated city in Canada. We enjoyed the visits to the City Market for fresh seafood, meat and vegetables. For my young kids, each visit to these places was like a fascinating adventure. We were excited to be so close to the water! That is what drew us to the reversing rapids. Each visit was filled with the ever changing tides of the Bay of Fundy. During Summer vacations, our kids always wanted to go exploring. They loved to go to the sea caves and climb the rocks at low tide, canoeing at high tide. We always made sure to pack walking shoes so that we could end our day with a hike through Fundy Trail. We soon came to love this Victorian era City which would be our forever home. Seven years ago I was given the opportunity to share my knowledge with visitors to the City and Bay of Fundy which I would love to share with you.

Maila was a wonderful guide. Humorous and kind, she was a breath of fresh air. We had a 3 year old with us and she was so nice to him. We had a wonderful day!
Wendy F.United States
Our group of 5 people arrived at the Saint John Bay (Bay of Fundy) cruise terminal on a Royal Caribbean cruise. Maila picked us up at the port for our 9-hour private tour. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the van was comfortable for our group. Maila knew the tide schedule very well allowing us to walk on the ocean floor of the Hopewell Rocks. We visited the Reversing Rapids, Fundy National Park, St. Martian Sea caves and other little places. We feel we would not have been able to see and do everything if we were on a tour from the cruise ship. Maila is an excellent tour guide. The best tour guide we have ever had.

We really wanted to do this tour but noticed that Maila usually starts the 9-hour tour at 8:30 a.m. and we couldn't get off of our ship until 10:00 a.m. so we reached out to Maila to see what we could do. She was most accommodating and met us right outside the terminal at around 10:15. She made sure that we got to the places that we needed to get to when we needed to get there and was very knowledgeable about The Reversing River and the Hopewell Rocks, both things that have to be seen to fully appreciate. This was a great tour and we highly recommend it. Maila is really the best.
Susan G.Philippines
Maila is an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable, considerate and energetic and fun to be with . She went above and beyond to make our tour very memorable by sacrificing her lunch so we can see as much as possible during the short time we were in St John. It was a very relaxing experience although there are areas that were rough, she made it a point to navigate around so we won't have a hard time walking or climbing. She gave us plenty of time to take pictures . Thank you Maila!
Your Saint John New Brunswick tour itinerary
We will begin at your accommodation and off to the first stop on this tour, the Reversing Rapids. Then a 2-hour drive (depending on traffic) towards Hopewell Rocks. Hopewell Rocks is filled with iconic rock structures, including Flower Pot Rock, that are shaped like flower pots due to vegetation on top. This location is also home of the highest tides in the world, coming up to about 50 feet! Tides permitting, you will get the opportunity to walk on the ocean floor. On our return trip, we will have a quick stop at the village of Alma, a fishing village most famous for their sticky buns. We will also travel through the beautiful Fundy National Park. Our last stops will include Fundy Trail Parkway, St. Martins and the Reversing Rapids. Finally I will drop you off at your hotel/accommodation. ** This tour can be customized upon request. Feel free to message me.
