With so much to see and do in Atlantic Canada, planning your time carefully to make the most of this charming region is key. From whale-watching off the coast of New Brunswick, to exploring Nova Scotia’s historic sites and from witnessing the wonders of Newfoundland & Labrador’s Iceberg Alley to relaxing on the coastlines of Prince Edward Island, here are our top 5 must-do experiences when visiting Atlantic Canada.

1. Go Wildlife Watching

2. Explore on Foot

An excellent way to truly discover Atlantic Canada’s natural beauty is on foot. Get off-the-beaten-track on an exploration of the verdant landscapes of Cape Breton Highlands National Park or Fundy National Park, follow countless sign-posted trails in Newfoundland’s Gros Morne National Park or within Nova Scotia’s Kejimkujik. Those looking for shorter walking trails will enjoy Fogo Island’s picturesque surrounds.

3. See the Sites!

4. Savour Local Delights

Surrounded by the glistening waters of the Atlantic, experience world-class seafood dishes in this charming corner of Canada. Immerse yourself in local traditions and savour the region’s history through cuisine. From award-winning restaurants to seaside cafés, the traditional style of cooking can be savoured throughout the region. If you’re lucky enough to be invited to a traditional ‘Kitchen Party’ in Newfoundland, grab the opportunity with both hands and celebrate with friends, neighbours and mysterious mummers: friendly gate crashers who turn up in disguise, have a drink and a dance and move on to the next party!

5. Head to the Coast
