The Reversing Falls are located in Saint John. If it is a nice day and you have no mobility problems you can walk to the falls area along Harbour Passage. The volunteers who meet your ship will point you in the right direction. St. Martins is about a 45 minute drive from Saint John.

The bus to the falls is around 10 minutes. For St. Martin's you would need to buy an excursion locally or through the ship. Taxis are $50 per hour.

 

You can walk to the falls in 30-45 minutes depending on your pace. There may be a water taxi operating from Market Square to the falls. It usually goes out in the harbour to the ship for guests to get a picture of their ship.
