Welcome to Atlantic Canada
Discover Nova Scotia...
Nova Scotia, on Canada’s east coast, is a must-see area on any holiday to Canada. One of Canada’s three Maritime Provinces, this beautiful destination is surrounded almost completely by water, making it ideal for strolls along the beach and water-based activities such as kayaking and paddleboarding. The continental climate means the summer months are warm so you can enjoy spending plenty of time outdoors. Explore the province by car, by bike, on foot, or even by boat and canoe, with stops to see the local sights and culture.
A diverse and beautiful destination, visitors are never short of things to do on holiday in Nova Scotia. Boasting 13,300kms of stunning coastline, you can join a whale watching tour or kayak in water the height of a five-storey building in the phenomenal Bay of Fundy. For those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground, hike along the spectacular coastal cliffs of Cape Chignecto Provincial Park or simply relax in the serenity of an unspoiled coastal landscape at Martinique Beach. With a flight from the UK to Canada in under seven hours, you’ll be feeling the rhythm of the ocean and fresh air in your lungs in no time on an exciting holiday to Nova Scotia!
