Itinerary
| Day 1 |
Arrive in Halifax and check in to your accommodations for the night. Your vacation begins at a hotel that is ideally located in the downtown core. Depending on your time of arrival, you may wish to book a Gray Line Tour of Peggy’s Cove or Lunenburg.
|
| Day 2 |
Enjoy a Gray Line Deluxe Historic Halifax City Tour this morning. Later today, meet your fellow traveling companions and travel past the communities of Truro and Amherst as you cross into New Brunswick, spending the night in the bilingual city of Moncton. (Continental Breakfast)
|
| Day 3 |
Your tour continues to Hopewell Rocks where you may walk on the ocean floor at low tide. After lunch, cross to Prince Edward Island on Confederation Bridge, the world’s longest continuous multi-span bridge, and enjoy a delicious lobster supper (meat alternative available) before checking in to your Charlottetown accommodations for a two night stay. (Breakfast, Dinner)
|
| Day 4 |
The morning is yours at leisure before embarking on an afternoon of touring throughout Prince Edward Island. First, enjoy a tour of Charlottetown, Canada’s Birthplace. Then it’s off to see the red sandstone cliffs, white beaches, gently sloping sand dunes and green fields of Prince Edward Island National Park, the scenery that Lucy Maud Montgomery describes in her “Anne of Green Gables” books. Visit the home of “Green Gables”, a Mecca for people from around the globe. This evening, enjoy a theatre performance* at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, or a substitution activity depending on the theatre schedule. (Breakfast, Lunch)
|
| Day 5 |
Take the ferry to Nova Scotia, and then proceed to Cape Breton Island - “the Scotland of North America.” Visit the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck to marvel at the many accomplishments of this genius. Spend two nights at a charming lakeside resort in the heart of Baddeck. (Breakfast, Dinner)
|
| Day 6 |
You’re off to experience one of the most picturesque drives in North America, the Cabot Trail. Cape Breton Highlands National Park is next, as you wind along this ribbon of highway, where the mountains meet the sea. The vistas abound as you travel over the flat-topped mountains. Also enjoy a whale watching boat tour (weather permitting). Tonight there is a “Farewell” dinner. (Breakfast, Picnic Lunch, Dinner)

The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site awaits you. This reconstruction recreates one-fifth of the town of 1744 - words will not do justice to the scope of this tribute to New France. Roam the streets, talking with some of the costumed guides who remain in character, or sample the sustenance of the era. Your tour continues along the shores of Bras d’Or to the mainland. The last night is at a downtown* Halifax hotel. (Breakfast)
