this is a spiritual journey

hike with a tribe along the atlantic coast


Join Warrior Adventures Canada as we hike the rugged and powerful Fundy coastline. A difficult 50km trek will take us to Unesco Biosphere Reserve ‘Eye of the Needle’, an impressive canyon and culmination of our pilgrimage. The hard work of traveling along the coastline and up the canyon makes this adventure truly special.

“This hike is amazing. It’s perfect for anyone’s who’s life is going through a big change, you need a reset, or you can’t quite put the finger on what’s missing. Long days of hiking along the ocean allows plenty of time for contemplation. Trekking up into the Eye of the Needle is the highlight of the trip. The ascent into the canyon is done individually; each pilgrim having a moment alone with mother nature.”
