With awe-inspiring landscapes, unique wildlife and a captivating heritage, Atlantic Canada and its four distinct provinces provide the perfect backdrop for an action-packed getaway. From kayaking through sandstone caves to rafting across rolling waves, adventurous clients will find plenty that satisfies, all less than a six-hour direct flight from the UK.
In the charming village of St Martin’s, past the fishing boat-studded harbour, the magnificent Bay of Fundy beckons. Here, kayak through the region’s signature sea caves that have been shaped over millions of years by the world’s highest tides. Bobbing over the waves, weaving through the sandstone structures and spotting seals, clients can immerse in the Unesco Fundy Biosphere Reserve’s natural beauty before combing the sand for treasures.
For an adrenaline rush, head to Nova Scotia. On the Shubenacadie River, climb aboard a raft and ride the powerful tidal bore – both a heart-pumping activity and natural phenomenon. The incoming ocean tide reverses the river’s flow, creating rolling waves and rapids, culminating in an escapade unlike any other. The experience also offers guests a fascinating window into the region’s geology, Acadian and Mi’kmaq heritage, and tidal ecosystem.
In a region known for its seafood, it would be rude for visitors not to sample it for themselves – and what better place for a feast than the beach? Adventure tour specialist Wildera showcases this province’s wild landscapes and traditional foodways with a range of excursions, including a beach boil-up where fresh seafood is prepared and enjoyed at the ocean’s edge while guides share local stories and seasonal insights.
Adrift in the waters surrounding this diminutive province, a signature Prince Edward Island experience awaits. On board fishing boat Top Notch, visitors can immerse in the thrill of lobster fishing, learning hands-on how to haul a trap and band a claw under the watchful eye of a fourth-generation captain. Clients can take a turn at the helm and spot marine life beneath the waves before indulging in sumptuous fresh lobster.
