Atlantic Canada

Fourteen nights across three Canadian provinces, centred on quiet coastal roads, colonial towns and rural scenery. The American Road Trip Company describes Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick as a good fit for travellers who want less traffic and more shoreline.

The trip starts in Halifax with two nights, then heads east along the Eastern Shore to Liscomb and across the Canso Causeway to Cape Breton Island. The Cabot Trail loop is driven in a full day, based around Ingonish and Baddeck. A ferry from Pictou leads to Prince Edward Island for three nights in Charlottetown, before the Confederation Bridge crosses into New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Rocks and Alma.

The route then returns to Nova Scotia for tidal bore rafting on the Shubenacadie River as an option, Grand Pre, and wine tasting in Wolfville. It finishes through Annapolis Royal, Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove lighthouse. Nine of the fourteen days are spent in Nova Scotia, and the operator’s itinerary is designed so that both high and low tide can be seen at the Bay of Fundy, including a walk on the sea floor at low tide.

The price shown is a from figure for 14 nights, per person, based on two people sharing, off-peak travel, a standard car, economy flights and two to three star hotels. It covers flights with a premier carrier such as Air Canada, accommodation, car rental and a detailed Road Trip Pack with route suggestions and points of interest for each drive. Every trip is built to order, so dates, hotel standard, flight class, car type and the number of nights can all be adjusted, and a one-way rental fee may apply where the start and end points differ.
