Day 2

HALIFAX – MONCTON, NEW BRUNSWICK

Day 3

MONCTON – PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

This morning we’ll cross the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island or “PEI”. It is the smallest but most densely populated Canadian province with gently rolling plains. We will be met by a local guide, who will help us tour the island stopping at such sites as Island Preserves, Province House and the Anne of Green Gables home. We end our tour in the city of Charlottetown, where you’ll be our guests for a sumptuous lobster dinner. (B D)

Day 4

PRINCE EDWARD – BADDECK

Day 5

THE CABOT TRAIL

Cabot Cove with PTS ToursWe will notice strong Scottish influences as we cross the Strait of Canso onto Cape Breton Island. We’ll explore the beautiful Cabot Trail and make stops for pictures along a drive that is one of the most scenic in North America! (B L D)

Day 6

BADDECK – HALIFAX

Lighthouse in Nova Scotia with PTS ToursThis morning we head to Halifax. We will enjoy a Halifax Guided City Tour to start our day. Along the way, we’ll visit the Atlantic Maritime Museum and Fairview Lawn Cemetery. At the museum, visitors are introduced to the age of steamships, World War II convoys and The Battle of the Atlantic, the Halifax Explosion of 1917, and Nova Scotia’s role in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster. The cemetery is perhaps best known as the final resting place for over one hundred victims of the sinking of the Titanic, where you’ll hear some of their stories. We spend two nights in Halifax.

We return to Halifax for the evening. (B L)
