Seafood lovers will find paradise in Nova Scotia. Feast on freshly caught lobster, oysters, and the famous Digby scallops, all served with Atlantic views and warm Maritime hospitality.
History comes alive across the province, too. Wander through centuries-old forts, vibrant Acadian villages, and historic port towns where Canada’s rich heritage is preserved in museums, architecture, and local stories.
In summer, Nova Scotia truly shines. Picture gingerbread-trimmed houses, candy-striped lighthouses, and wild-rose-dotted shores that will have you reaching for your camera at every turn. On Cape Breton Island, the world-renowned Cabot Trail offers unforgettable hiking, while more hidden trails invite quiet reflection and wildlife encounters throughout the province.
Kayak alongside whales off Cape Breton’s coast, or paddle through the misty coves and untouched islands of the Eastern Shore — both experiences that feel like stepping into another world.
If you’re searching for an urban escape, head to the province’s lively capital, Halifax. Here, you'll find a blend of world-class dining, a thriving live music scene, and a cosmopolitan vibe that’s still grounded in coastal charm.
Aside from the great outdoors and quaint villages, there is a large number of attractions in Nova Scotia. Here is just a small selection:-

Just returned from fly drive in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island organised by Stewart Travel which exceeded our expectations.Vicki came up with a trip which not only provided us with a variety of places to explore and scenery but included quality places to stay. Despite our satellite navigation not working after first few days details provided before hand allowed us to get to each destination. Great trip not only allowed us to gain more about the history of the area but also meet some great people. From our experience would definitely book our next trip with them.
