No Steps, No Stress: Saint John’s Best Sights

From $85

Roll through history, harbor views, and world-famous tides on a smooth, fully accessible ride — no steps, no stress, just great sights.

See the best of Saint John without a single step. This fully accessible experience takes you through Canada’s oldest incorporated city, past historic landmarks, charming waterfront views, and even the famous Reversing Rapids — where the tide is so powerful that it actually pushes a whole river backward. Stop at Wolastoq Park for a stunning harbor view, then roll through the Old City Market, a foodie favorite since 1876. No barriers, no stress — just seamless sightseeing at its best.
