Good to Know

  • Valid government-issued photo ID is required for every traveler on all departures.

  • Itinerary order and stops may change due to weather, road closures, or park conditions — safety comes first.
  • Comfortable walking shoes are recommended; stops involve short, easy walks rather than technical hiking.
  • Let us know about mobility needs, dietary restrictions, or large group sizes at the time of booking so we can plan accordingly.
  • Multi-day tours are priced based on double-occupancy hotel rooms; single-traveler and triple-occupancy rates are available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a lot of driving?

Yes — the Maritimes are spread out, so this is our longest Eastern Canada route by distance, with a full driving day built in for the Cabot Trail.

What's the best time of year for this trip?

Late spring through early fall, when the Cabot Trail and PEI's beaches are at their best and most services are open.

Can we join partway, for example just PEI and the Bay of Fundy?

This route is sold as a full 7-day loop from Halifax, but ask us about a custom shorter itinerary if you only want part of it.
