 Fun Fact: The Bay of Fundy’s gigantic tides are considered a Marine Wonder of the World. Its tides rise and fall twice a day, allowing people to actually walk across the same ocean floor that they can swim above later. The powerful ebb and flow of the tides have created impressive rock formations at Hopewell Cape, where you can also regularly spot whales feeding.

Atlantic Maritime Provinces
When you look back on your getaway to Canada’s Maritime Provinces, the subtle feelings will stay with you always. You’ll remember the warmth of your sweater, the gentle sea breeze through your hair, the taste of fresh lobster and the tranquil romance of neighborhoods where fishing, boat building and seafaring have been a way of life for centuries. Tour the scenic area of the Atlantic Maritime Provinces including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, by biking long trails and sailing the coastline.
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is the land of the Acadians, the ancestors of many Canadians and Cajun Americans, as well as the fictional Evangeline from the Longfellow poem. This province alone has over 4,600 miles of shoreline that range from uncrowded leisurely beaches to rock-pounding breakers to picturesque seaports like Yarmouth and Sydney, all with whale populations ripe for viewing. For a more urban Nova Scotia vacation, Halifax is home to Canada’s version of Ellis Island, cobblestone streets and some of the coolest jazz and blues clubs around – not to mention the Titanic’s burial site.
