WHERE TO GO IN ATLANTIC CANADA
All four provinces in Atlantic Canada boast their own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It’s hard to choose between Nova Scotia’s spectacular Cape Breton Island and its thriving Celtic culture and Prince Edward Island’s relaxed pace of life and beautiful beaches. Or New Brunswick’s characterful cities and Acadian charm and Newfoundland’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites and unique character.
Luckily it’s easy to combine the various regions on one Atlantic Canada holiday, so if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
