This is an unforgetable coastal adventure that explores the Nova Scotia side of the Bay of Fundy and the rugged granite coastlines and isolated white beaches of the South Shore as well. At the phenomenal Cape Split, a dramatic penninsula jutting into the Bay of Fundy, we can watch and listen as the world's highest tides rip past us 300 feet below. We'll walk back in time as well - along dykes first created by Acadians in the 17th century, through the restored buildings of Port Royal founded by Champlain in 1605 and through Lunenburg, a UN world heritage site. This year, we've added walks to the famous Balancing Rock and around Brier Island, known for its amazing columnar coastline. An exciting Whale Watching Cruise is an option here. Every night we'll relax in historic country inns, including Digby's renowned "Pines".
