Baymount Outdoor Adventures
Baymount Outdoor Adventures is a Canadian owned outdoor adventure company that provides kayaking, hiking, and biking tours in the Bay of Fundy UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. They currently employ 8 full time staff and another 8 to 10 part time employees. Their “Kayak The Rocks Tour” is part of the Canadian Tourism Commission’s “Signature Experience Collection” which is used to promote Canada internationally. This sea kayaking tour is a 2-hour journey around the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park on either side of the high tide. They also offer a 1.5-hour long mid-tide coastal tour in which guests can obtain a panoramic view of the Hopewell Rocks a little way from the shoreline.
Shaun Gibbs, the former manager of Baymount Outdoor Adventures, worked with them for 20 of the 23 years they’ve been in business! He now owns the company with his wife Ashley. He noticed that as the number of visitors to the Hopewell Rocks increases, they’ve had an increased demand, and more people seem interested in discovering all they can about the Bay of Fundy’s tides and the shore bird migration that happens in the late summer. They also typically answer a lot of questions about the various marine animals that live in our waters. Shaun says that they always try and educate their guests about the tides and the importance of the Bay of Fundy habitats to marine life and the shore birds that travel through it.
Because they are on the water every day that they are open, the condition of the ocean is very important to the staff at Baymount Outdoor Adventures. CPAWS NB believes it is important to protect our Bay of Fundy and ensure that this amazing natural area and the wildlife and businesses it supports, such as Baymount Outdoor Adventures, can thrive for many years to come.
