As one of the four provinces that make up Atlantic Canada, Nova Scotia shines as a unique and dreamy Canadian destination. With varied and stunning landscapes, friendly locals, and traditions that some might deem quirky, Nova Scotia is unlike any destination in the world.
From the iconic Appalachian Mountain ranges (yes, they extend from central Alabama through Canada’s maritime provinces!), lush river valleys, forests, and a varied sea coast ranging from highly rugged to broad sandy beaches, every region in Nova Scotia offers something new and remarkable.
Not only is Nova Scotia an adventurer and photographer’s dream, but cultural explorers and foodies will also be ecstatic with what they find. And this year we’re offering something new: The chance to explore on a deeper level than ever before. Visiting during the off-season means having places almost exclusively to yourself, experiencing sights that few others have, and forming deeper connections with the people and the land. Walk coastal shores, partake in offbeat festivals, and tuck into a full lobster dinner or plate of fresh scallops while sampling some of Nova Scotia’s award-winning wines. Spend every day doing or seeing something new to design “your ocean playground” experience — it’s what makes Nova Scotia the Canadian destination you never knew you needed!
