Day 1: Arrive in Halifax

Welcome to Halifax, Nova Scotia's Seacoast and Capital City. Your Tour Manager will greet you at the hotel and is available with suggestions for sightseeing and places to dine.

Day 2: Halifax • Cape Breton Island

We tour the interesting city of Halifax this morning, seeing the historic waterfront and learning about Halifax's connection with the Titanic disaster. Then we travel to Cape Breton Island, originally settled by Loyalists from New York State. They were followed by Scottish immigrants, choosing this region because it reminded them of their homelands. We'll also visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum overlooking sparkling Bras d'Or Lake. There is a two night stay in Baddeck. (Breakfast and dinner)

Day 3: Cabot Trail

Spectacular scenery is the highlight today as you travel along the Cabot Trail. We'll spend the day exploring much of this famed road in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, which winds through charming communities, breathtaking scenery, local crafts and delicious seafood dining. A visit to Cape Breton is sure to thrill you. Its only rival in beauty is the seaside French and Scottish settlements nestled below the mountains resembling the highlands of Scotland. We'll enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch along the way as we experience the scenic nooks and crannies of this remarkable landscape. (Breakfast and lunch)

Day 4: Prince Edward Island

We leave Nova Scotia today and take a ferry to Prince Edward Island, home of Lucy Maud Montgomery, who wrote Anne of Green Gables. This evening we enjoy a musical performance at the Confederation Center for the Arts. Our two night stay on Prince Edward Island gives us ample time to explore this quaint part of Canada. (Breakfast and dinner)

Day 5: Charlottetown Touring

Today we begin with a tour of Charlottetown, a city whose core has not changed since it was settled by the French, Scottish, English and Irish. A visit to the Anne of Green Gables home is one of the highlights of your day. There is a visit to Founder's Hall - where you travel through a "Time Tunnel" and are transported back in time to witness the birth of the Canadian Confederation. Your tour of the island offers many other delightful opportunities including exploring marvelous beaches and woodlands. This evening savor the local cuisine with a tasty lobster dinner. (Breakfast and dinner)

Day 6: New Brunswick

After breakfast, we leave Prince Edward Island via the new nine-mile-long Confederation Bridge. Enjoy breathtaking views as we drive through Fundy National Park and learn about the unique tidal experience of the Bay of Fundy when we see Hopewell Rocks. We overnight in St. John's. (Breakfast)

Day 7: St. John • Halifax

St. John, at the mouth of the Saint John River on the Bay of Fundy, is one of the most active seaports on the Atlantic coast. This morning we enjoy a tour of the area and learn of its seaport history, including the restoration of the city's waterfront. This afternoon we head for the historic village of Peggy's Cove, located near St. Margaret's Bay. The village was founded in 1811, and takes its name from the sole survivor of a catastrophic shipwreck just off its shores. Peggy's Cove is home to a protected bird sanctuary and a nesting site for Atlantic Puffins, and is also a prime whale and dolphin watching area. And you can't miss the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, one of Nova Scotia's most famous icons. Back to Halifax and a farewell dinner with new-found friends. (Breakfast and dinner)
