13 Days in Canadian Maritimes, incl. Halifax and Prince Edward Island
A 13-day route through Eastern Canada showcases 8 distinctive cities. Marvel at UNESCO sites like Lunenburg and Joggins Fossil Cliffs, savor a Shediac Bay lobster cruise, and take in Prince Edward Island National Park's red cliffs and white beaches.
- Days 1-2
Halifax & Bay of Fundy
Start your trip in Halifax, the walkable capital of Nova Scotia filled with maritime history. Visit the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk in the evening after 6 PM when crowds thin out and you can watch boats in the harbor. On Day 2, drive to the Bay of Fundy and plan around the tides. One traveler shared: "The Joggins Fossil Cliffs were incredible – bring good walking shoes and arrive early before the summer heat kicks in."
- Days 3-4
Saint John & St. Andrews
Stay in Saint John to explore New Brunswick's southern coast. Visit the Reversing Falls during high tide for the best views. Book whale watching tours in St. Andrews on your first available day since weather might require rescheduling. A visitor suggests: "The morning whale watching tours tend to have calmer waters – take motion sickness pills just in case."
- Days 5-7
Digby & South Shore
Book the morning ferry to Digby ahead of time if traveling in peak season. Visit Annapolis Valley wineries in the morning when crowds are smaller. Most start tastings at 11 AM. Get to Peggy's Cove before 9 AM to avoid tour buses. Plan your Lunenburg Fisheries Museum visit before its 5 PM closing time.
- Days 8-9
Prince Edward Island
Drive across the 8-mile Confederation Bridge to PEI. Bring Canadian cash for the toll. Walk through Charlottetown's historic district and visit Anne of Green Gables sites in mid-afternoon after tour groups leave. According to one traveler: "The North Shore beaches are less crowded in the early evening, and the red cliffs look spectacular at sunset."
- Days 10-11
Cape Breton Island
Take a full day for the Cabot Trail. Start early and drive clockwise for the best ocean views. Bring warm layers since highland temperatures run about 10°F cooler than Baddeck. Set aside 3-4 hours for the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. A visitor advises: "The Trail's lookout points get busy around midday – start your drive by 8 AM for peaceful photo opportunities."
- Days 12-13
Fortress of Louisbourg & Halifax
Plan 4-5 hours to explore the Fortress. Wear sturdy shoes for the uneven ground and pack water. Take the quieter eastern shore route back to Halifax. Book your final dinner in advance since summer restaurants fill up quickly.
13 Day Atlantic Canada Itinerary, incl. Halifax and Prince Edward Island
Atlantic Canada reveals its charm over 13 days across 8 destinations including UNESCO sites Lunenburg and Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Whale-watching, Cabot Trail vistas, and upscale stays at properties like Cambridge Suites Halifax create lasting memories.
- Days 1-2
Halifax & Moncton
Base yourself near the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk for easy walking access to the downtown area. The drive to Moncton is about 3 hours, but set aside 5-6 hours to visit the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Book a Shediac Bay lobster cruise for late afternoon when the water is calmest.
- Days 3-4
Bay of Fundy Region
Get to Hopewell Rocks early to see both high and low tides. The difference can reach 46 feet. Bring sturdy water-resistant boots if you want to walk on the ocean floor. For whale watching in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, book between mid-July and September when sightings are most frequent.
- Days 5-7
Nova Scotia's South Shore
Take the 2.5-hour ferry from Saint John to Digby and sit on the port side for the best views. Visit the Annapolis Valley wine region in September to catch the harvest. At Peggy's Cove, arrive before 9 AM to beat the tour buses. One early visitor shared: "The early fog at Peggy's Cove creates an ethereal atmosphere – dress warmly even in summer as the coastal winds can be quite chilly."
- Days 8-9
Prince Edward Island
Drive across the 8-mile Confederation Bridge. You only pay the toll when leaving PEI. Walk through Charlottetown's historic district and book dinner ahead during busy season. Visit Green Gables Heritage Site after 4 PM to avoid the crowds.
- Days 10-11
Cape Breton
Plan a full day for the Cabot Trail. Drive counterclockwise for better views and fill up on gas before you start. Bring motion sickness pills for the winding roads. Check the weather before booking your Baddeck boat tour as afternoon winds can make the water rough.
- Days 12-13
Return to Halifax
Set aside at least 3 hours to explore the Fortress of Louisbourg. The airport is 30 minutes from downtown Halifax, but morning traffic can add another 20-30 minutes.

What people love about 2-week Eastern Canada tours
- Atlantic Maritimes
The tour guide Lana was exceptional, so well informed about every site we visited. She was enthusiastic, considerate and made herself aware of each one of us and any needs we might have. The coach driver Kevin was a real gentleman and a very safe and considerate driver. He was always attending to our needs in a friendly manner
- Newfoundland & Labrador 12 Days
Great tour. Met some really nice people.
Everything on the trip was great until we ran into troubles with the train. They held us without canceling from 1pm until the next morning at 6:30am. Very little food was offered, no other transportation was offered, and no refund has been offered by Globus. The flights to Montreal were 906$. We had to still go because our flights back home to BC were booked to leave from Montreal. We were very disappointed. Can someone please contact me. 2505523929
