Day 1 – Halifax, Nova Scotia
Welcome to Canada’s Atlantic Coast and the Canadian Maritimes, the enchanting land of Anne of Green Gables. Your journey includes visits to all three provinces of the Canadian Maritimes: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.

Enjoy a visit to the province’s most famous geological feature and most popular tourist attraction, the Flowerpot Rocks at Hopewell Cape. Observe the gradual rise or fall of the Bay of Fundy tides, an average change of 6 to 8 feet per hour. The Fundy Tides rise and fall up to 50 feet and are the highest on earth. Twice each day one-hundred-billion tons of water flow into the Bay of Fundy. This creates the phenomenal Fundy Tides, which overpower the rivers flowing into the Bay of Fundy and reverse their direction two times a day. This daily rise and fall of the tides equals the 24-hour flow of all of the rivers in the world. Then, continue over the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province.
