What to Expect
Stop at: King's Square
A classic, historic, and inviting urban park, King's Square is located in uptown Saint John at the head of King Street and bounded by Sydney, Charlotte, King's Square North, and King's Square South Streets. A salute to the Loyalist heritage of the city's founders, its pathways were designed in the shape of the British Union flag. The square is home to several monuments and plaques paying homage to individuals who helped shape the City’s heritage. Many of the tall trees that stand in the Square today were planted for the 1883 Centennial Celebrations of the landing of the Loyalists in Saint John. In 1909, the City Coronet Band donated the unique two-storey bandstand, located in the Square's center, as a tribute to King Edward VII.

See, smell, and taste the local cuisine from the oldest continuous farmer's market in Canada - operating since 1795

A trio of gas lamps that once guided sailors safely into the harbor.

Your guide will take you down historic streets filled with architectural wonders from the later part of the 19th century. You'll hear stories of the city's rich ship building heritage and the area's deep Irish and Acadian roots. If you like local foods and arts and crafts then you'll certainly enjoy your visit to the Old City Market. This is one walking tour you don't want to miss.

Mersey River Quickie Adventure - 2 Hours
CA$89.1On this tour you'll explore the Mersey River (one of the most beautiful places in the park to paddle, in my opinion). Rendezvous at the Whynot Adventure HQ (Jake's Landing) 15 min before the tour is set to start. We have a large parking lot situated just before you arrive at our location on the river. We recommend bringing a camera as this tour is full of wildlife photography options (I know you're thinking moose and bears, but in Keji we specialize in turtles, giant bullfrogs, muskrat, beavers and white-tailed deer, oh and sometimes a swimming squirrel). On this guided tour you might learn about 'Keji tea' or hear the legend of Jim Charles' Gold, while paddling your canoe or kayak up the river with intermittent stops to take in the magic and learn about some of Keji's secrets. This tour is an 'out n'back' so you'll get to enjoy the gentle current on the way back to Jake's Landing.
