Now you’re in for a treat! It’s time to settle into our front row seat as Mother Nature puts on a show that’s food for the soul and a feast for the senses! Look around, breathe in and touch the true nature of the Gaspé. The most diversified and picturesque sea and mountain landscapes, valleys, bays and coastlines are more than astounding outdoor theatres.
Gaspé is recognized for its beauty and attracts visitors from all over the world. Logging, mining and hunting are forbidden and everywhere birds sing to their hearts content. Huddled in the heart of this landscape are peaceful towns and villages with colorful customs and melodious accents. The people of Gaspé look forward to sharing their culture and “joie de vivre” with visitors.
Our first stop is Ste-Foy, Quebec where we enjoy a guided bus tour of the Beaupre Coast to see the beautiful sites this area has to offer and the highlights of Old Quebec and Quebec City. We then follow scenic Route 132 along the banks of one of the most famous waterways in the world, the St. Lawrence River.
From Cap-aux-Os we enjoy Forillion National Park, which is gorgeous and has magnificent views, historical sites, abundant wildlife, birds, seals and whales.
We visit highlights of the city of Gaspé and then enjoy the popular cultural center of Percé. Experience a cruise on Percé Bay including Percé Rock, the symbol for the entire Peninsula and Bonaventure Island where a Colony of 70,000 Gannets live.
Crossing the border at Cambellton we enter New Brunswick and visit the award winning, authentic Acadian Historic Village in Caraquet. This village portrays the lives of the Acadians between 1770 and 1890.we visit the longest covered bridge in the world near Woodstock, New Brunswick. We spend quality time at King’s Landing Historical Settlement to see how a 19th century New Brunswick family lived. Next is a walking tour in the city of Fredericton to see Officers Square where a reenactment of the “Changing of the Guard” by British Soldiers is held. We see the Bay of Fundy with the world’s highest tides and the famed "flower pots" rock formations at Hopewell Cape near Alma.
We cross the Northumberland Strait on the new bridge to Prince Edward Island (PEI) and enjoy four delightful days including a PEI bus tour including lunch at the famous PEI Preserve Company on another day. While in PEI we enjoy a Lobster Fishing Demonstration and visit the Green Gables home that inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery to author the novel “Anne of Green Gables” and then stop at the earthenware factory that produces “Anne of Green Gables” figurines. Then relax and enjoy the live play “Anne of Green Gables” at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
Prince Edward Island is famous for its warm hospitality, mouth watering seafood, striking red soil, warm waters, fine white beaches and deep cut coves. Enjoy the endless beauty of this Island and then highlight your visit with an included lobster dinner at the famous Fisherman’s Wharf in North Rustico.
Crossing back over the Northumberland Strait, we head to Hilden, Nova Scotia where the local Fire Brigade has a fantastic private dinner planned for us. We visit the Tidal Bore Interpretation Centre and then you have the opportunity to participate in an optional tidal bore rafting trip up the Shubenacadie River or just cheer your friends on and be an observer.
The next day we stop to see “Gran Pré,” the area written about in Longfellow’s “Evangeline.” Next is Annapolis Royal where we see Port Royal Habitation, Fort Anne, the Tidal Electric Generation Station and the Royal Historic Botanical Gardens where we enjoy a delightful lunch. Annapolis Royal is the second oldest city on the North American continent. See houses dating back to the 1700’s. All of Louisiana’s Cajun ancestors originated from this area. Also there is great fishing here with no license required. Forty pound striped bass have been caught right from the dock at the campground where we stay.
The beautiful and charming city of Lunenburg is one of everyone’s favorite places. We have two days to enjoy this exquisite area and to visit the Lunenburg Fisheries Museum in addition to touring the Bluenose if it is in port. The Bluenose is the undefeated champion of the North Atlantic fishing fleet and winner of four international schooner races; her likeness is on the Canadian dime.
Heading east we spend three days in the Halifax - Dartmouth area. Enjoy a guided city bus tour where we see the giant stone fortress of Halifax, Citadel National Historic Park, Province House, Old St. Paul’s Church, dazzling public gardens, historic waterfront properties, the National Harbour and much more. See the Titanic Memorial and Burial Grounds plus the White and Red Lighthouse at the point of Peggy’s Cove which is an actual post office. After we enjoy a great luncheon at the restaurant, we can mail letters or postcards and have them post marked “Peggy’s Cove.” A staff prepared breakfast is held in the clubhouse while in Halifax.
At Auld’s Cove, we drive across the world’s deepest causeway to Cape Breton Island and Baddeck, Nova Scotia. While there we tour the Alexander Graham Bell Museum and enjoy a fabulous bus tour (including lunch) of the Cabot Trail named for new world explorer, John Cabot. It is one of the most beautiful drives in North America with its elegant fishing villages and picturesque coastline. On this tour we also visit the village of Cheticamp, Joe’s Scarecrow Exhibit, the Highland Links and Flora’s Gift shop which is rated #1 in the Maritimes.
