Today, visit Hopewell Rocks, the Ocean Tidal Exploration Site and home to the world’s highest tides! Here, you can walk on the Bay of Fundy’s ocean floor, where the gravitational pull of the sun and moon causes tides that rise and fall up to an incredible 48 ft, twice a day, every day. Conclude your journey at Kouchibouguac (Koushe-boo-gwack) National Park, a fascinating mosaic of bogs, salt marshes, tidal rivers, sparkling freshwater systems, sheltered lagoons, abandoned fields, and towering forests.

Today, journey to Prince Edward Island, home of Anne of Green Gables.

This morning, visit the coastal town of Inverness, known for its warm ocean waters and “Mermaids’ Tears”, the colourful sea glass that washes up along the shoreline, a true beachcomber’s delight. Then continue north to Margaree Harbour and experience the famous Cabot Trail, a breathtaking route that rises from sea level to 3,000 feet, winding along two coastlines—the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic—and through the heart of a national park.
