We have reverse falls in Western Australia. And in Scotland.

You need to do something about the wind buffeting the microphone. It’s nearly impossible to hear your narration. It’s not a Falls though. It’s just a river outlet/inlet. A waterfall is quite different.

i live in NB..ive been here since 1982..i never really understood the reversing falls.. but this vid was clear

Bonjour, merci d'avoir passé ton temps précieux, pour nous créer cette agréable vidéo. Belle journée, à bientôt :) 💚 Like 616

1:18 are those rocks moving or is it a glitch? Especially noticeable at x2 speed Edit: I figured it's likely an applied video footage stabilizing effect that makes these distortions.

I was there at the end of July 2023, truly remarkable event.

I wonder why there is not a dam built to harness the tide both ways? Hydro-electric is pretty cool.

I have navigated a sailboat both upstream and downstream through the falls, at the slack at mid-tide. Here the maximum current is at low tide when the river and tidal flow are in sync. The maximum reversed current upstream is at high tide. (You are used to seeing slack, no current, at low and high tides, but not here.) Here is why: The Bay of Fundy has a range of water height of about 25 feet from lo to hi. But upstream of the falls, in the river, the tidal range is only about 2 feet. This is because there are lakes up there, and there is not enough time for them to loose and gain enough water through the narrow channel to have larger tides. The high tide in the ocean in the bay is about 12 feet higher than the level of the lakes and river, so the flow over the rapids is upstream into the lakes. At low tide in the bay the water is about 12 feet lower than the lakes and river so the water flows downstream. At mid tide in the bay the water is within a foot or so of the lake level and the water goes slowly, and then slack when the water levels of Bay and lakes are the same. If you look on Google maps you can see the lakes.

It's just rapids, magnetic hill is more fun

It's spelled Saint John, NB

Great video - shame about the soundtrack . . . .

The tidal wave that goes up the River Severn in Wales u.k is cool because you can ride the wave on a surf board. But it only happens once/twice a year in spring.

I’m here because Jim made fun of reversing falls in one of his standup routines.

Tide takes every six hours

I have lived here for over 50 years I have yet to see any falls. This is more like reversing tides. Its such a beautiful place and they have that god ugly pulp mill there.

👤 Ever smell it.?... I'm pretty sure... ...it's "Revolting Falls.".. ....🦨💨....

St. John River in Saint John, New Brunswick

falls that no fall? ;]

Well, I guess we now know where Saul Goodman went into witness protection 🤣

This same thing happens through Deception Pass in WA state, only on a much smaller scale.

Astonishing footage; moreover, brilliant narrative about the tide! Love it!

First documented by Samuel Champlain

Hope dis grandpa still alive

Deception pass in Washington state has a similar affect to this but not this extreme. This is awesome

The real amazing part is when you realize that this started out as a "normal" waterfall with the river water falling into the Bay. Now the Bay of Fundy's water level has risen enough to force the river back up twice a day....Mother Nature is awesome!!!

So much water make energy⚡ from🌊 🌊waves and it's become free 🔌electric power💪 for all

Please take a look at the Horizontal Falls in Western Australia for something similar & perhaps more impressive.

Good video 📹 👍

QI brought me to this

FAKE tourist wording, there no water falls ONLY rapids. I grew up on a creek that had REAL water falls over 10ft high.

Nice video! I live beside reversing falls bridge and have a nice view of the water and bridge. I love walking to reversing falls look out as well. I go through some trails. Sooo relaxing

It also happens at the Connell bridge oban Scotland the loch empty,s at low tide then fills up when the tide reverses

It's remarkable to know that this has been happening for tens of thousands of years, and we are here to see it.

less talking would be more...

awesome comes in fast

Hi there, My name is Arvian Ordonez and I’m a researcher for Discovery Channel Canada. We’d love to feature this video for one of our shows. Please e-mail me at arvian.ordonez@bellmedia.ca for more info.

Thanks for posting this , VERY COOL !

That's amazing

great and impresive this place great job

Thank you for posting. I've just relocated here from out west and can share this with friends back home. Great photography

Mr Thomas?

You can see something similar in Levie Quebec. The Saint Lawrence River reverses with the tides. In the winter the movement is even more dramatic with the flow of ice in the river

Great video.

THE THINGB IS::: I have viewed this video time and time agan I am not sure if the river is to the right or to the left in this video. I have herd the river is to the right, it should be to the left in this video.

Ya , Saint John not St. John .. Learned that on my G.P.S.!!!!!!

Stfu sooraj

Actually it's Saint John not St. John. St. John is at New Found land
