The hotel also features a dedicated guest lounge and Salvador Dali Café to wind down and relax after a busy day of exploring.
Red Rock Adventure
Red Rock Adventures is offering a wilderness dining experience in the St Martins sea caves.
At low tide, travellers will make their way to a secluded beach area in the St Martins sea caves which are part of the UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve and Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark.
The meal will comprise locally-inspired cuisine prepared by a top national chef.
While dining on the ocean floor, diners are entertained with stories about the cultural and natural history of the area.
As there are only certain evenings of the summer where the tides allow this to happen, it is exclusive in every way and will be offered three or four times a summer.
