New Brunswick ATV & Moose Adventure
A Cruise Excursion You’ll Remember
New Brunswick is known for its vast forests, remote trails, and abundant wildlife.
Our guided adventures give you the opportunity to experience this wilderness from the seat of an ATV or Side-by-Side.
Travel with an experienced local guide through New Brunswick’s backcountry trails. Along the way, keep your eyes open for wildlife and signs of moose.

This is real New Brunswick wilderness.
Your Adventure
Step 1 — Plan Your Transportation
Your shore excursion begins in Saint John, New Brunswick.
Transportation from the cruise port to the Mud to Moose adventure area can be arranged separately, depending on your group’s needs.
Because cruise passengers have limited time in port, your excursion should be planned around your ship’s arrival and departure schedule.
Your cruise schedule always comes first.
