Let’s start with the stunning coastlines of eastern Canada, an area extremely rich in marine wildlife. Our Maritime Marvels fly drive holiday is a great way to discover the amazing landscape of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and will give you the chance to spot whales in the Bay of Fundy and take stunning photos in Cape Breton National Park. 

This trip starts in Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, a major cultural centre and home to the famous Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (the building is more than 150 years old), the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and the extraordinary building of the Central Library. If you’ve had enough cultural experiences for the day, you can hop on a boat to Chebucto Head for walking trails, a historic lighthouse and coastal views back to the city of Halifax. 

You may find it difficult to leave Halifax behind, but you’ll be amazed by scenic coastline routes, beautiful inland lakes and national parks throughout the rest of Nova Scotia.  One of the most iconic destinations on the route is the vibrant fishing village of Peggy Cove, an absolute must-see in this part of Canada. Built in 1915, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse still keeps watch over surging ocean waves and working lobster boats. 

On this trip you can also visit the Breton Highlands National Park, hike at the scenic Cabot Trail, visit the Fortress of Louisbourg (built in the 18th Century), or simply enjoy driving to Canso Causeway through picturesque Canadian towns and villages.

If you’re looking to combine the excitement of a big city with charming lakeside towns, sophisticated wineries and dramatic waterfalls, our Toronto and Niagara Discovery tour is for you. You’ll spend the first three days of this week long trip experiencing the unique atmosphere of Toronto before heading off to iconic Niagara. 

As the epicentre of the province of Ontario, Toronto is a culturally vibrant city with an abundance of excellent dining options including the renowned CN Tower with its rotating restaurant 351 meters above ground; it’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience having a meal complemented by an ever-changing panoramic view, all in the heart of downtown Toronto. 

The Kensington Market area of Toronto is vibrant part of the city; the countless dining options, small local breweries and remarkable atmosphere guarantees that everyone can find something interesting regardless of taste or style. 

Other areas of interest in Toronto include Casa Loma, a gothic revival style mansion, the Royal Ontario Museum, and High Park, an urban green space with walking trails and a zoo. 

After a few days in Toronto, jump in a car and drive along the stunning waterside roads of Lake Ontario to the famous Niagara Falls. Take a helicopter flight to enjoy a spectacular view of the waterfalls from above, or an exhilarating boat trip on the Maid of the Mist which takes you to right to the bottom of the thundering falls. 

The elegant town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, a 30 minute drive from the falls, is a pretty, tranquil retreat. The beautiful surrounding area of this affluent region is home to Ontario’s best wineries, so don’t miss a wine tasting tour while you’re in the area. You can also stroll the small streets with their 19th Century Victorian grandeur and peruse the quaint boutiques and galleries that adorn them.
