Scenic Saint John, NB Night Tour

Experience the serene charm and rich history of Saint John, New Brunswick under the soft glow of evening lights on Scenic Saint John Night Tour. This thoughtfully curated two-hour night tour offers a small-group experience visiting some of the most notable landmarks and sights of the city which look more breathtaking in twilight.

Your Evening in Saint John Tour begins with your guide picking you up from your downtown Saint John hotel and taking you on a narrated city drive in a luxury Mercedes Metris van. As you make your way through the city's Uptown, you’ll pass historic buildings, quiet squares, boulevards and the bustling Saint John Port. Also, you will pass by King Square and Fort Howe while your knowledgeable guide narrates their historical importance and city’s past. The night time adds to the beauty of these sites and heightens their historic presence.

The most important part of the tour is when you visit the Reversing Falls Rapids. This natural phenomenon is caused by the Saint John River meeting the Bay of Fundy’s powerful tides which changes the river’s flow twice a day. At night, the swirling waters look calming and dramatic where you can relax and take deep breaths.

Next, you’ll stop at Fort La Tour. It's a National Historic Site commemorating over 5,000 years of trade, settlement, and military history. Fort La Tour was a fortified fur trading post built in the 17th-century. It is built right against the waterfront from where you can enjoy a view of the Saint John River. The quiet of evening enhances the reflective atmosphere here, making it an ideal setting for those looking to explore this site in a relaxed way. 

Continuing on, you’ll arrive at the Carleton Martello Tower, a circular stone fortification dating back to the War of 1812. You can explore the Welcome Centre and grounds, including a lookout point that offers panoramic views of the harbor and Saint John skyline. The elevated vantage point makes this one of the best spots in the city to take in its nighttime beauty.

At the end, your guide will drop you off at your hotel in downtown Saint john. While you are going back, you will drive past the Saint John City Market, the oldest continuing farmer’s market in Canada. The building’s architecture and significance stand out even after hours.

With hotel pick-up and drop-off included, Scenic Saint John Night Tour is a perfect way to spend a relaxing evening in Saint John with an insightful introduction to the history, geography, and personality of Saint John.
