EXPLORING GRAND MANAN ISLAND, NEW BRUNSWICK | Bay of Fundy's Hidden Gem

[@rolfeliason5950]

Been to GM twice and loved each trip. I was watching to see if the bunnies I vividly remember showed up at Anchorage Park...they did not disappoint! Seafood chowder....... worth every penny.

[@theRTWguys]

We will be back someday! Are you from NB?

[@rolfeliason5950]

Ontario. Newfoundland, PEI and Cape Breton Island are my favorite vacation destinations.@@theRTWguys

[@melissafrankland754]

Didn’t hit up White Head Island. It’s such a beautiful place!

[@theRTWguys]

We will be back someday 😊

[@alexandranewman7199]

As an islander my self I loved seeing the island from your point of view. All though I must say a lot around the island has change. You guys should come back and visit some time. And if I see when you come back. I’ll point myself out. 🙂

[@theRTWguys]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed seeing Grand Manan from our perspective. Islands have a unique charm and often evolve over time, so it's interesting to know that there have been changes. We appreciate your invitation to revisit, and if we have the chance to come back, we'd love to experience more of the island's beauty and connect with the local community, including pointing you out! 😊🏝️

Thank you 😀💗

[@trickotreat05]

What a great video. Lovely to see our home through your lense 🙂

[@theRTWguys]

Thank you Jane ❤️😊

[@melissarobinson9618]

That "sea pigeon" reminded me so much of a penguin. Lol Such an idyllic place to explore, and you guys always find such beauty in everything you do

[@theRTWguys]

Yes we thought of penguins, too when we saw them 😀

[@greenieg3335]

Gentlemen. I love your videos. I'm originally from Cape Breton. My experience with restaurants is eat where the locals eat. This worked well for me when travelling through Greece and Mexico. That way you can avoid the tourist traps. Keep producing videos. Be safe!

[@theRTWguys]

Absolutely - local eateries loved by locals are the best! ❤️

[@beachbum200009]

11:36 Those steep cliffs are beautiful!!! They formed with the enormous “flood basalt” that underlies most of the Bay of Fundy, and which erupted 201 million years ago. As they slowly cooled from the bottom up, they split in to tall vertical columns.

[@theRTWguys]

Thanks for the great info! ❤️

[@jamesswarm]

Love the up-hill soccer joke! Another excellent video with camping details too.

[@theRTWguys]

Glad you enjoyed it 😂

[@veronalyn-manning8691]

Love this trip. I am going soon! I drive by on my way to PEI every year….

[@theRTWguys]

That sounds like a fantastic journey! Do you have any favorite spots or activities on Grand Manan Island that you enjoy during your visits? 😊🌊

I found your channel while looking for videos about Labrador, then to my excitement, I find this video of my home island! I grew up in Deep Cove and Seal Cove so I appreciate your beautiful drone footage.

[@theRTWguys]

[@karian2]

An awesome video from my favourite place on earth. We bought a place on the island which is now out summer home and I cannot imagine a summer without it. We are leaving for the island in 18 days and can't wait. Thank you!

[@jessicamiller524]

My family owned the house on whale cove at the end of cemetery ln.We donated a lot of our land and it is now Meredith Houseworth nature preserve. My favorite place in the world.

[@theRTWguys]

You're very welcome! It sounds like you had a wonderful time on Grand Manan during your past visit. Having a place on the island must have made your summer truly special. It's great that the video could bring back those cherished memories for you. Wishing you more amazing experiences and enjoyable moments in the future whenever you return to your summer home on Grand Manan!

[@debbizill9835]

I wanted to go before, but now I really NEED to go. Thanks for starting my Sunday morning with a laugh & smile. :) Stay safe.

[@theRTWguys]

Our pleasure 🤗 Stay safe -

[@andreemartin3455]

I’m sorta following your trail….lol I was just at grand manan and from your video I miss a few thing. Currently at bake de funky :) Love your videos …well done !

[@theRTWguys]

Oh hahaha, I'm sure you will be in Cape Breton as well then ❤️🇨🇦

[@JasonLorette]

Great video guys...we're heading there for the first time in July of this year...lived in NB pretty much my whole life and I've never been there! Thanks for the tour!

[@R32R38]

Sounds like a fine spot to visit.

[@theRTWguys]

For sure 😀

[@tvcomputer8526]

Always a treat to watch your new video every few days. Keep up the excellent work!

[@theRTWguys]

Thank you for watching 😀🚐

[@stevedarms9914]

Awesome vid. Love the humorous touches. And I love that the liquor store is once again keeping Schooner in stock! Last time I went in 2015, they told us you had to pre-order it in advance. (Though now I believe the Independent Grocer has the liquor license, so hopefully they'll keep the Schooner on hand for when I get up there this coming July!) Grand Manan is my favorite place in the world (I'm a life-long summer visitor whose family owns one of the cottages at Whale Cove Cottages in North Head). Hope you guys will go back someday and get some footage of Whale Cove Beach, Hole in the Wall, and Stanley Beach!

[@theRTWguys]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the video and found the humorous touches entertaining. It's great to hear that Schooner is back in stock at the liquor store and that you're looking forward to enjoying it during your upcoming trip in July. The convenience of finding it at the Independent Grocer will surely make your visit even more enjoyable. Your deep connection to Grand Manan is truly heartwarming. Having a family cottage at Whale Cove Cottages in North Head sounds like a dream come true. We'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind for our future visits. Exploring Whale Cove Beach, Hole in the Wall, and Stanley Beach would be an incredible experience, and if we have the opportunity to go back, we'll make sure to capture those stunning locations on camera. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and memories, and we hope you have an amazing time during your July trip to Grand Manan!

[@manansingh5817]

I’ve kept track of the reviews of this Island since It’s literally my name lol, It’s cool to see an in depth video about it

[@theRTWguys]

Oh hahahaha that's cool that you're named the same. I wonder what 'Manan' means in Acadian, or in your culture -

[@scabby-]

Manannán or Manann, also known as Manannán mac Lir ("son of the sea"), is a warrior and king of the Otherworld in Irish mythology who is associated with the sea and often interpreted as a sea god, usually as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann.

[@thesteamingbean.]

Enjoyed your video. Curious if you guys were in Flin Flon (Northern Manitoba).

[@theRTWguys]

Hahaha maybe someday 😀

[@lunadulcinea1]

I am adding Gran Manan Island to my list just for the mushrooms 🍄

[@theRTWguys]

Hahaha no kidding 🤣

[@scabby-]

Ate lotsa mushrooms there lol!

[@lisapellitier2450]

Thankyou

[@theRTWguys]

[@jdthewanderer]

What month were you guys there? I'm planning a drive up there from Maine, and whenever this was it looks like the perfect time to go!

[@theRTWguys]

Great choice! July is indeed a wonderful time to visit Grand Manan. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the island's natural beauty and outdoor activities. Enjoy your trip from Maine!

[@roblox_lover1237]
