Trip Description

Breathe in the fresh Atlantic air, listen to the waves crashing on the rugged coast, and feel the sand between your toes – you must be in the Maritimes! Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the smallest province in the world, Prince Edward Island! Here you will see many seabirds such as herons, gannets, and kingfishers, as well as the bald eagle (less adorable, but very majestic). If that's not enough seabirds or wildlife for you, then take a whale watching cruise to see humpback whales, minke whales, and more, plus adorable seals! New Brunswick is renowned for its lobster, so of course, we will board a lobster boat to enjoy the freshest lobster lunch possible. We will walk the hiking trails of Cape Breton Island, observe the incredible tidal changes and rock formations of the Bay of Fundy, spot moose and other wildlife, relax on fine sandy beaches, and even visit the Anne of Green Gables family property!
