Day 5 - Ferry to Nova Scotia & Pictou Heritage

Your journey continues as you leave Prince Edward Island behind. Drive south to Wood Islands, where you’ll board the ferry for a 75-minute crossing across the Northumberland Strait to Caribou, Nova Scotia.

Once ashore, it’s just a short drive into the town of Pictou, often called the Birthplace of New Scotland. Here, immerse yourself in the area’s rich Scottish heritage with a visit to the Hector Heritage Quay. This interpretive centre tells the story of the Ship Hector, which carried Scottish settlers to Nova Scotia in 1773. You’ll find a full-scale replica of the vessel, exhibits on immigrant life, and hands-on displays that bring this important piece of Canadian history to life.

Stroll along Pictou’s waterfront, where colourful buildings house local shops, cafés, and galleries, or sample traditional Maritime flavours in one of the town’s welcoming pubs. For the night, relax by the water’s edge at Caribou–Munroes Island Provincial Park, a peaceful campground with walking trails, sandy beaches, and views across to PEI.

Day 6 - Adventures on the Shubenacadie River

Begin your day with a hearty and unforgettable pancake brunch at Sugar Moon Farm, a rustic maple farm tucked into the Cobequid Hills. Here, you’ll savour fluffy pancakes drizzled with their signature maple syrup, tapped and produced right on-site. The farm also offers maple-inspired treats, scenic walking trails, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that captures the essence of Nova Scotia’s countryside.

After brunch, trade sweetness for adrenaline with one of the province’s most unique experiences: tidal bore rafting on the Shubenacadie River. Join an expert guide aboard a Zodiac raft and ride the surging waves created when the powerful Bay of Fundy tides push into the river valley. This natural phenomenon transforms the river into a thrilling whitewater adventure, equal parts exhilarating and unforgettable.

Later, slow the pace with a visit to Burntcoat Head Park, home to the world’s highest recorded tides. Twice a day, the landscape transforms dramatically revealing vast stretches of ocean floor that you can walk across at low tide, before watching the water return in a powerful rush.

This morning, journey into the rolling hills of the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia’s premier wine region. Visit a selection of boutique wineries, where you can stroll through the vineyards, learn about cool-climate winemaking, and taste Tidal Bay, Nova Scotia’s crisp signature white wine.

In afternoon, head toward the coast for dinner at the iconic Hall’s Harbour Lobster Pound, one of the most memorable dining experiences in the province. Here, you’ll choose your own lobster, watch it cooked in seawater, and then enjoy it overlooking the harbour where fishing boats bob in the tide. Time your visit with the Bay of Fundy’s famous tide change, and you’ll see the water level shift dramatically right before your eyes.

As the day winds down, make your way to the Look Off in Canning, a panoramic viewpoint perched high above the valley. From here, sweeping vistas stretch across patchwork farmlands, orchards, and vineyards, all the way to the shimmering waters of the Bay of Fundy.
