Dramatic coastlines, charming seaside towns, and dreamy countryside adorn the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. In Atlantic Canada, there’s something for every adventurer, from leisurely cycling, sea kayaking and long walks on uncrowded beaches to robust zip-lining and tidal bore rafting.
The region is world-famous for its fresh and abundant seafood, in particular succulent lobster, scallops, mussels, oysters and cod. Dine at a seaside restaurant, take a stroll through a local farmers market, or take in one of the many culinary or cultural festivals throughout the season. It’s truly a foodie’s paradise. During summer and autumn, visitors can view a variety of mammals including rare whales, porpoises, seals, moose, deer, beaver, black bears, bobcats, lynx, plus eagles and numerous seabirds.
New Brunswick’s sprawling vistas, mighty rivers and great outdoors give you space to breathe and natural wonders that will take your breath away. Stroll the boardwalk through a rare sand dune, hike majestic trails of Fundy National Park, and relax on endless saltwater beaches. Autumn is a special time to visit to witness the changing colours of the leaves to fiery reds, yellows and golds.
Newfoundland & Labrador is the perfect destination for people open to new experiences, like getting eye to eye with a humpback whale as icebergs drift by and the sky fills with millions of seabirds. Visit the four UNESCO world heritage sites in the province, and many historical attractions, from First Nations sites to community museums and explorations of rich heritage and culture.
Discovery lives around every corner in Nova Scotia, with scenic valleys, rich soil, and pretty coves dotting the coastline. History and culture are alive. Fresh local food and wine is plentiful. Explore wide-open spaces and rub shoulders with some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Nova Scotia is the perfect outdoor playground for hikers, kayakers, sightseers, and wildlife enthusiasts.
Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province, but this little Island packs a big punch. With adventure around every turn, beauty that’s hard to even believe and food that is out of this world, the Island will charm you from tip-to-tip. Scenic coastal drives showcase the vivid colours of the gently rolling landscape, endless miles of warm, sandy beaches, and the famous red sandstone cliffs.
Getting to Atlantic Canada is easy too. The region is closer to Europe than any other part of North America, with direct seasonal flights available from Amsterdam, Brussels, and several more European cities.
