Journey back in time in Atlantic Canada


A southeast road trip promises a journey through the country’s impressive maritime history. Halifax, Nova Scotia’s coastal capital, serves as the starting point for this epic journey, and also as the arrival point for another new WestJet service from Edinburgh, which starts on June 20. After uncovering the region’s nautical history – including its Titanic links – in Halifax’s Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, skirt along the Atlantic coast on the Lighthouse Route. Stop at Peggy’s Cove, a picture- perfect fishing village crowned by its much- photographed lighthouse. Then, in Kejimkujik National Park, centuries-old canoe routes formed by the Indigenous Mi’kmaq people provide the perfect channel for exploring. One of the highlights of the trip is the scenic Cabot Trail, boasting more than 180 miles of coastline


and forest through the Cape Breton Highlands. Book it: First Class Holidays’ 14-day A Taste of the Maritimes self-drive tour starts from £2,579 per person including room-only accommodation, car rental and flights departing May 15. fcholidays.com

Get close to nature in the Rockies


Sun Peaks is a true winter wonderland in the heart of the Rockies but, once the snow has melted, summertime visitors can explore its rolling hills and wind through the towering pines on foot or on two wheels. Continue southeast to the alpine playground of Whistler, where everything from hiking to gondola rides await. Relaxation is promised year-round, thanks to fresh mountain air and an abundance of wellness facilities. In Vancouver, recommend your clients visit one of many trendy waterfront bars or cycle the 17-mile Seawall to


celebrate the end of an epic journey. Book it: Kuoni’s 11-night Luxury Rockies self-drive tour starts from £3,281 per person including accommodation, car hire and flights departing May 11. kuoni.co.uk
