Tidal Bore Inn - Truro

Adventure-ready inn overlooking tidal rivers in Truro, Nova Scotia

Adventure & Outdoor Activities

Tidal Bore Inn Truro is one of the few hotels that lets guests walk out the door and onto a riverfront where the Bay of Fundy's tidal bore arrives twice daily. Guests can use the free bicycles to pedal the nearby Cobequid Trail, a multi-use path that stretches through woods and along the river. The inn's location on the Salmon River bluff also provides direct access to tidal bore rafting trips, an adventure experience found nowhere else in the region.

Rooms & Comforts

Each room at Tidal Bore Inn Nova Scotia has a separate sitting area, flat-screen TV, and air-conditioning, with many offering river views over the lawn. Guests in the double rooms on the ground floor can pull their car right up to the wide parking spot assigned to their unit, which makes loading and unloading simple. The property includes outdoor chairs placed on the lawn where visitors can watch the tidal bore arrive from the Bay of Fundy.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

Children under 10 stay free in the double rooms at Tidal Bore Inn, making it a cost-effective stop for families traveling the Maritimes. The large on-site grounds have a picnic area and garden where kids can play while adults relax in the outdoor furniture. Parents appreciate that the inn offers family rooms with private bathrooms and free parking for any vehicle type.

Nearby Attractions

Tidal Bore Inn is less than a five-minute drive from Victoria Park, a 1000-acre natural park with hiking trails, a swimming pool, and an ice-skating rink. The Truro Raceway, a harness racing track, is also minutes from the hotel, along with grocery stores and gas stations within half a mile. Cycling the Cobequid Trail or walking to the tidal bore viewing area-just under a mile away-are two more ways to explore the area without needing a car.

On-Site Amenities & Services

The inn's professional host manages the property directly, so guests receive informative emails before arrival with details on local tide times and restaurant recommendations. Free on-site private parking with wide spots for drive-up rooms eliminates the hassle of tight lots. An ice machine in the office area and a lawn with numerous chairs allow guests to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset over the Salmon River.
