4 Can’t-miss sights in the Canadian Maritimes
Go Ahead staffer Evan travelled on our Canadian Maritimes: Nova Scotia to Prince Edward Island tour and shared his four favourite views from the trip.
Bay of Fundy
“It was cool to be able to get so close and explore Hopewell Rocks,” said Evan. “The erosion of the rocks is very interesting and it’s fascinating to think about how different the landscape will look depending on whether it’s low tide or high tide.”
Halifax at night
While on the Halifax Citadel Ghost Tour excursion, Evan took in Nova Scotia’s capital city from a new perspective. “I was able to see a different side of Halifax from the Halifax Citadel. You’re basically at the top of the fortification where soldiers would have been years ago.”
Peggy’s Cove
Built in 1914, this highly photographed attraction is still in use by the Canadian Coast Guard. “This spot had incredible coastal scenery with a very nice lighthouse,” said Evan. “It was great to just sit, look out at the coast, and take it all in.”
Cape Breton Highlands National Park
“We had amazing views the entire time we were driving through the highlands,” said Evan. “We kept changing elevation as we travelled up and down the cliffs and it was great to take in the scope of it all.”
