HOPEWELL ROCKS, NEW BRUNSWICK


NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR Atlantic Canada: your next great escape awaits


Less than six hours from the UK, Atlantic Canada is a region where nature still feels wonderfully untamed


Atlantic Canada is a place of dramatic coastlines, rich marine life and landscapes that shift with the tides. Each of its four provinces, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, offers something distinct, yet all share a deep connection to the ocean and a warm, welcoming spirit that makes exploring them a joy.


EXPLORE THE BAY OF FUNDY IN NEW BRUNSWICK New Brunswick is a province of contrasts, home to rugged coastlines, vibrant cities and hidden coves waiting to be discovered. It boasts the highest tides in the world and one of the highest peaks in Atlantic Canada at Mount Carleton, making it a destination rich in natural superlatives. The Bay of Fundy, on the


province’s southern edge, is its most extraordinary attraction. Known for its exceptionally high tides, this vast bay creates a unique marine environment that supports an abundance of wildlife. Whale- watching is a major draw, with


humpback, minke and fin whales frequently spotted between June and October, along with the rare North Atlantic right whale. Popular departure points such as Saint Andrews, Grand Manan Island and Campobello Island offer some of the best vantage points for witnessing these giants of the sea. For a truly memorable experience,


visitors can walk along the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks during low tide. Here, the Taste the Tides dining experience showcases local flavours in a magical setting among towering rock formations sculpted by centuries of tidal movement — this is a culinary moment unlike any other.


WONDER AT THE NATURAL WORLD IN NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR Newfoundland & Labrador is often described as nature’s playground, and it’s easy to see why. The province offers once-in-a-lifetime encounters, from puffin-spotting and whale- watching to exploring ancient fossils along its rugged coastline. Spring is a particularly spectacular time to visit, when diverse wildlife converges and the landscape comes alive. One of the province’s most


iconic sights is the annual arrival of icebergs. Each year, hundreds of these towering ice structures drift


along the coast during peak season from May to mid July. Iceberg Alley, especially around Twillingate, provides some of the best viewing opportunities in the world. Whether seen from a boat, a kayak or a coastal lookout, these natural giants provide a glimpse into a journey roughly 10,000 years in the making.


ON THE TRAIL IN NOVA SCOTIA Surrounded by ocean on all sides, Nova Scotia is a province deeply connected to the sea. With more than 8,000 miles of coastline, it offers endless opportunities to enjoy fresh seafood, learn about Indigenous maritime traditions and explore waterways by kayak or canoe. The Cabot Trail, a 185-mile


scenic highway winding through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, is one of the world’s most celebrated drives. Its dramatic ocean vistas, cliffside lookouts, Celtic inspired communities and charming roadside stops make it a journey to savour. Whether completed in a single day or explored slowly over several, this trail offers countless moments to pause, breathe and take in the beauty of the landscape.


BEACHSIDE ADVENTURES IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND There’s something undeniably alluring about slipping away to an island, and Canada’s smallest province, Prince Edward Island, offers exactly the kind of escape British travellers dream about. Tucked just off the coast of Nova Scotia, this enchanting isle is reached by a scenic one-hour-and-15-minute ferry crossing, delivering you straight into a landscape that feels lifted from a storybook. Think sweeping sandy beaches
