5 Things to do in Atlantic Canada

The "Maritimes" is a region consisting of three Canadian provinces- New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. This eastern region provides magnificent beauty bringing visitors from all over. The region provides a variety of unique and unforgettable outdoor adventures. Join me as I guide you through some of the best things to do in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. 

Deep-Sea & Sport Fishing













Not knowing how to fish shouldn't stop you from experiencing this adventure. Learn from the experts on how to reel and enjoy kicking back for a few hours on the water. Experience catching species such as Bluefin tuna, cod, and mackerel on the coast of Prince Edward Island. Join the maritime fishing adventures where all equipment is provided by the charter and have your caught fishes fillet by the experts for a nice maritime supper.

Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia 








Kayaking in the open ocean body of the Atlantic ocean is a terrifying but exciting experience. Peggy's Cove an hour away from Halifax is one of the best kayaking spots in Nova Scotia. Where you might be able to spot seals, eagles and if lucky even whales. Some of the best kayaking spots include three sisters, Seal Cove, Cape Chignecto and Horseshoe Cove

Whale-Watching in New Brunswick










Whale watching in the Bay of Fundy will take your breath away with a once in a lifetime experience. The Bay of Fundy is the habitat of choice for some of the world’s rarest whales, including the endangered North Atlantic right whale. When it comes to whale watching spectators have many choices of getting to the known whale spots. The options include large tour boats that provide more comfort like warm and dry cabins, bathrooms, and snacks. High-speed Zodiac tours are more adventurous, but you’ll wear flotation suits and have a bumpier ride.

Tidal Bore Rafting in Nova Scotia








Ride the 4-meter-high waves in a Zodiac boat in one of the world's highest tides in the Bay of Fundy.  Experienced rafting guides take you down rapids as the incoming ocean reverses the flow of the river. This experience is unique to the Bay of Fundy because the Shubenacadie River, located in Nova Scotia, is the only place in the world where you can go tidal bore rafting.

Cycling & Mountain Biking in Prince Edward Island








Prince Edward Island is known for its scenic cycling routes due to its rolling hills, farmlands and well known confederation trail. The trail span the entire province from one end to the other. Built on the decommissioned railway line, the main trail is 273 kilometres and a number of branch routes passing through many small towns. Additionally, you will also find some of the best mountain bike trails in Atlantic Canada - from flowy clay single track to technical granite ridges. Completing any section of the trail or the entirety of the tail you are awarded a Tip-To-Tip Certificate for  your accomplishment.



I hope these top 5 things to do help plan an action packed adventure exploring these maritime provinces. For more great adventures and information please visit my website https://explore-the-maritimes.mypagecloud.com/. And stay up to date on what Atlantic Canada has to offer
