This morning jump on the Bay Ferry over to the neighbouring province of New Brunswick and make your way along the Fundy Coast to the Fundy Trail Parkway. Breathtaking vistas, flora and fauna await you in this multiuse coastal experience hugging New Brunswick’s majestic Bay of Fundy. As you drive along the 11km coastal roadway, take time to stop at the observation decks, you might just catch sight of some whales! After enjoying some time here, it is time to set off to Fundy National Park. Take advantage of the park’s natural setting, explore the forest and discover the creatures of the inter-tidal zone.
Day 8 to 9 – Kouchibouguac National Park
Today you set off to Hopewell Rocks, The Ocean Tidal Exploration Site and home to the world’s highest tides! Here you can walk on the Bay of Fundy’s ocean floor. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon causes tides that rise and fall up to an incredible 48 foot twice a day – every day!

Day 10 to 11 – Charlottetown

Day 12 – Lake Ainslie
This morning you arrive by ferry into the town of Pictou known as the birthplace of Nova Scotia.

Day 13 to 14 – Cape Breton Highlands National Park
This morning, take a slight detour to the coastal town of Inverness, known for its warm ocean waters and Mermaids Tears (coloured sea glass that washes up along this coastline) – it’s a beachcombers dream.
