Your day-to-day plan
Day 1
Halifax
Welcome to Halifax, Nova Scotia, a city that deftly blends the past with the present! The heart of Halifax is perfect for exploring on foot so why not explore the city, enjoy your first fresh seafood of the trip, and rest up for the night at your hotel?
Day 2
Peggy's Cove
Today you are picking up your motorhome and after having stocked up on groceries, it’s time to leave the city behind for the great outdoors. You follow the Lighthouse Route to Peggy’s Cove where the famous Lighthouse sits firmly on its granite bluff. This is one of the most photographed spots in the whole country. But there’s much more to the sleepy village, which is the kind of place where people still use clotheslines and streets have names like Church Road and Lobster Lane.
Day 3
Lunenurg
You will be continuing to drive the Lighthouse Route, which takes you past sandy beaches, rugged coastlines, beautiful island studded bays and authentic fishing villages, like Mahone Bay with its vibrantly painted Victorian homes and shops, colourful heritage gardens, and the famous three churches. Your destination is Lunenburg, whose delightful Old Town is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town has a long, proud seafaring history that continues to be reflected in its picturesque waterfront. The harbour-side streets are lined with shops and restaurants that blend with the well-preserved and colourfully painted historic homes, much of it like a living museum from the 18th century.
Day 4
Kejimkujik National Park
Drive through the rolling hills, woodsy areas filled with pine trees and along LaHave River toward Kejimkujik National Park. The park protects a forest and network of lakes in the heart of Nova Scotia. Explore the wilderness trails, lakes, and rivers – by foot or by canoe or kayak. Discover historic, stone-carved petroglyphs left by the Mi’kmaq who travelled these same routes thousands of years ago.
Day 5
Annapolis Royal
It’s only a short drive to Annapolis Royal. On your way you can explore the Digby area and drive along the Digby Neck or take your time to visit the historic town of Annapolis Royal. This beautiful town boasts a compact heritage district filled with over 135 Victorian houses and museums. Be sure to visit Canada’s oldest National Historic Site, Fort Anne, where you can see the Royal Charter from which Nova Scotia gets its name and flag.
Day 6-7
Fundy National Park
Board the Bay Ferry from Digby to Saint John. Breathe in fresh salt air from the outdoor seating and viewing area on this Digby Ferry, and keep a keen eye on the Bay of Fundy for whales and other marine life. Pick up a fresh seafood lunch at Saint John before continuing onto Fundy National Park. Fundy National Park straddles the Bay of Fundy and has 28 hiking trails, including many along the coast and through the forests; several of them lead to beautiful, secluded waterfalls. The park is along the Atlantic migration route for birds, and over 260 species have been identified in the area.
Day 8-9
Prince Edward Island
Today you leave New Brunswick, but not before you visit the Hopewell Rocks’ majestic ‘flowerpot rocks’ and have your picture taken with the world’s largest lobster in Shediac. Cross the 12.9 km/8 mi long Confederation Bridge and enter Canada’s smallest and least populous province, Prince Edward Island. The size of the island makes it easy to explore by RV. Your Travel Book will describe 3 driving routes. Pick one or drive parts of all. From coast to coast, rich, sienna-coloured soil nourishes green pastures and shores are lined with rose and golden sand. A scattering of small towns housing warm hearted locals stubbornly clinging to their easy-going lifestyle. Make sure to visit Charlottetown, the quaint provincial capital with its pretty tree-lined streets, colourful houses, and waterside boardwalks. Visit Anne at Green Gables Heritage Place, the site for the inspiration for L. M Montgomery’s classic novel Anne of Green Gables.
Day 10
Pictou
You have the morning free to further explore Prince Edward Island before catching the Northumberland Ferry to Caribou. Your destination for this afternoon is Pictou, Nova Scotia. Take a stroll along the historic waterfront of Pictou and experience the historic Scottish architecture, beaches, trails, museums, restaurants, shops, and friendly people of this town.
Day 11
Chéticamp
Your Travel Book will take you over the Ceilidh Trail, a scenic trail approximately 100 km/62 mi long, providing views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the west side of Cape Breton Island. This trail ends in Margaree Harbour and meets the Cabot Trail. Chéticamp, a traditional Acadian fishing village, is your first stop along the picturesque Cabot Trail. Visit St. Peter’s Church, make sure to stop at Les Trois Pignons, a cultural centre and hooked-rug museum or book a whale watching tour.
Day 12
Ingonish
The 115 km section of the Cabot Trail that climbs and descends through the Cape Breton Highlands National Park is truly dramatic. Cliff-side roads, windswept plateaus, quaint villages, and moose sightings form the main appeal of this well-travelled route. There are over 25 hiking trails to choose from, but a must for all travellers is the Skyline Trail. A dramatic headland cliff overlooks the rugged coast from the end of this level trail.
Day 13
Baddeck
Your time in Cape Breton Highlands National Park is coming to an end, but the Cabot Trail just keeps going! Take a side trip by ferry and take a day trip to Bird Islands where you can see puffins, other seabirds, seals, and bald eagles. Baddeck is a vibrant, bustling town with a picturesque harbour on Bras d’Or Lake, as well as historical attractions, like Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, where you can enjoy a glimpse into the life and work of the man who brought us the telephone. Explore the Bras d’Or Lake. This large inland sea is part fresh and part saltwater, allowing it to sustain diverse ecosystems and wildlife, including many bald eagles.
Day 14
Dartmouth
Visit Sherbrooke Village and take a trip back in time as Nova Scotia’s 19th century heritage is brought to life by costumed interpreters, including blacksmiths, potters, weavers, and printers. The Eastern Shore is marked by the wildness of its coastline, authentic fishing communities, and beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. We will make sure you won’t miss anything. Hike the Liscomb River Trail or pick a trail in Taylor Head Provincial Park, enjoy a picnic at Marie Joseph Provincial Park, experience the warmth and welcome of Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore in a traditional fishing family’s home, take a break on the 5 km/3.1 mi long white sand beach of Martinique Beach Provincial Park and take a surfing lesson near Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park.
Day 15
Halifax
Return your motorhome and return to Halifax for a day in the city. We recommend visiting the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, a strategic hilltop fort offers a commanding view of Halifax Harbour. In the evening, stroll the waterfront where you will find delicious seafood restaurants.
Day 16
Fly home
Transfer independently to Halifax Stanfield International Airport for your flight home.
