Nova Scotia is the crown jewel of Canada's East Coast. Composed of a peninsula and its surrounding islands, it offers you the chance to indulge yourself in the Canadian outdoors at its best. The coastline is infinitely varied, from rocky peninsulas to seemingly endless sand beaches. Each stretch of coastline has its own "ocean", the Bay of Fundy, with the highest recorded tides in the world (up to 16 metres); Northumberland Strait, with the warmest waters north of the Carolinas; the Atlantic coast with its wave-swept white sand beaches; and the Bras D'Or Lake, a great inland salt sea

Day 1-2
Halifax
Explore Halifax harbour on an (optional) nature and whale watching tour. Where the Atlantic Ocean meets the cliffs of Chebucto Head at the mouth of Halifax Harbour the waters are rich with wildlife. You will have the opportunity to view minke whales, fin whales, dolphins, seals, tuna, sunfish and a variety of seabirds whilst learning about the history and sights of the Harbour. The Captain and crew of this tour will further enchant you by pulling up a lobster trap.
Day 3
Lunenburg
Rocky harbours with hidden bays and islands have made Nova Scotia’s south shore a pirate’s and smuggler’s paradise for over 300 years. Visit the much photographed Peggy’s Cove, elegant Chester and UNESCO World Heritage Site Lunenburg en route before arriving in the picturesque Mahone Bay region.
Day 4
Yarmouth
Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct is known for seals and the most beautiful coastline. The 22 sq km of protected wilderness on the Atlantic coast offers pristine white sand beaches, astonishing turquoise waters, coastal bogs, and an abundance of wildflowers, rich lagoon systems, and coastal wildlife. Explore the hiking trails, equipped with interpretative signs and telescopes. Shelburne’s waterfront reflects the heritage of the days when wooden ships sailed from here to Europe, New England and the Caribbean.
Day 5
Digby
Go whale watching on the Bay of Fundy, one of the best whale-watching areas in the world. Twelve kinds of whales and dolphins are regularly seen. Or visit some lighthouses and explore Annapolis Royal, the oldest continuously settled town in Canada.
Day 6
Wolfville
The Annapolis Valley is the oldest settled part of Canada and the lushest agricultural area of Eastern Canada. This is reflected in the ornate, aristocratic wooden houses common to the area, a result of the 300 years of prosperity farmers and forest owners have enjoyed here. One of the best examples is Annapolis Royal, the oldest continuously settled town in Canada. Lobster dinners are a specialty of the area.
Day 7-8
Tatamagouche
The Bay of Fundy is home to the world’s highest tides. A Mecca for migrating birds, the large tidal rivers expose broad expanses of mud banks and salt marshes at low tide; hours later they are covered with 12m of water or more! Visit the Maritimes’ newest UNESCO World Heritage Site at Joggins and explore the carboniferous era in a brand new visitor centre and along the cliffs. Here, the Bay of Fundy has exposed the largest cache of fossil bones in North America. The fossilized footprints of creatures over millions of years can be seen along the shore. Amethyst and agate can also be found on the beaches.
Day 9-10
Chéticamp
Drive through the scenic hardwood hills of Eastern Nova Scotia where it seems every little roadside stream has been dammed by beavers and cross to Cape Breton Island by the causeway. The Bras D’Or Lake, which occupies the island’s heart, is one of the most striking features of eastern Canada... a huge inland sea, perfect for swimming, sailing, and sightseeing.
Day 11
Baddeck
Take in an optional morning whale-watching cruise or enjoy a drive around the Cabot Trail. The Cabot Trail is one of Canada’s best loved scenic drives and follows the impressive coastline from sea level up to an alpine plateau 500m above the sea. Waterfalls and swift running streams can be found near the road, and opportunities for seeing moose are excellent. Whales can often be spotted from the walking trails which overlook the coast.
Day 12-13
Charlos Cove
Follow the shores of the Bras D’Or Lake, home to hundreds of Bald Eagles, back to the mainland where the ”Marine Drive” leads through the forest at the head of the harbours and over low hills. Many excellent views are available from small side roads to the shore.
Day 14
Halifax
Today, on your drive back to Halifax, Marine Drive leads through the forest at the head of the harbours and over low hills. Many excellent views are available from small side roads to the shore. Once you are back in Halifax, make sure to discover the other attractions you did not visit at start of your holiday. One of its top attractions is the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site.
Day 15
Fly home
Time for some last minute shopping. Smoked Salmon and other seafood can be purchased and be taken home. Then journey to Halifax Airport for your return flight home.
