Travel Canadian Maritimes Provinces your way
Coach travel through the Maritimes lets you see plenty while staying comfortable as you move across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The 10-11 day journeys are nicely paced, and our travelers often mention guides like Scott and Peter who blend local stories with a laid-back vibe. You'll wind along the Cabot Trail, stop for lunch at sugar camps in Nova Scotia's forests and enjoy proper Maritime traditions like community lobster suppers. Everyone gets their turn at the good views thanks to rotating seats as you travel between spots like the Hopewell Rocks, Lunenburg's UNESCO area and also Prince Edward Island National Park.
Our Maritime explorer routes really shine along Cape Breton's Cabot Trail and through Nova Scotia's coastal villages. These tours run 11-12 days, which gives you time to properly discover spots like North Rustico Harbour and also Lunenburg's heritage areas. You'll split your time between guided walks in fishing communities and free afternoons to explore places like Peggy's Cove at your own speed. The cultural side comes alive at Green Gables Heritage Site and Alexander Graham Bell Museum, while Cape Breton Highlands National Park shows off the raw coastal terrain. What makes these tours special is the mix - one day you're chatting with local fishermen about their lobster catches, the next you're walking solo across the exposed Bay of Fundy seabed.
Select from our extensive range of 28 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through Canadian Maritimes Provinces with our expert guides leading the way.

The 7-day Maritime tours really shine in the Bay of Fundy region, where you get proper time to watch those remarkable tides shift. Our groups love exploring the Joggins Fossil Cliffs UNESCO site - the rock faces here hold 300-million-year-old fossils that tell incredible stories from Earth's past. One particularly good itinerary includes eating fresh-caught lobster right on a working boat in New Brunswick, which gives you that genuine Maritime experience. You'll wind through Fundy National Park and Saint Andrews-by-the-Sea, where summer boat trips get you close to minke whales, humpbacks and also white-sided dolphins. The accommodations are carefully picked, like staying at the historic Digby Pines with its views over the Annapolis Basin, and the trip wraps up nicely with wine tasting in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley.
With 10 days to explore, you'll get a complete look at all three Maritime provinces. Our customers consistently give these trips top marks, especially loving how they balance guided activities with free time to explore.

Demographics
Solo travelers fit right in on our Maritime tours, especially the Bay of Fundy route with its mix of social activities like dining on working lobster boats and exploring at your own pace. The free time to wander Halifax's waterfront or Charlottetown's historic center is particularly appreciated. Our guides Eunice and Lana get lots of mentions in feedback for making everyone feel part of the group. Many solo travelers end up making friends while exploring Cape Breton Island, walking the Cabot Trail and also visiting the area's historic spots.
Our longer 11-12 day Maritime tours really appeal to couples looking to combine scenic routes with cultural experiences. Many love starting their day with breakfast overlooking Peggy's Cove lighthouse or ending it with traditional lobster suppers in PEI. The pace works well - active days in places like Cape Breton Highlands National Park balanced with quiet evenings in coastal towns. Couples often mention enjoying the optional walking tours in Charlottetown while having freedom to explore Lunenburg's UNESCO sites at their own speed and also discover local spots.
Young adults connect well with our 6-day Halifax and PEI adventures, which pack in plenty of outdoor experiences along Nova Scotia's South Shore and Prince Edward Island's northern coast. The mix includes guided walks through historic Lunenburg, time at PEI National Park's beaches and chances to explore the food scenes in Halifax and also Charlottetown. These shorter tours balance structured activities with free time, perfect for photographing coastal lighthouses or checking out local breweries.
The 9-12 day Maritime tours work particularly well for senior travelers, with comfortable coaches featuring rotating seats and thoughtfully paced schedules.

- Summer 2025
Our summer Maritime tours run 7-12 days when the weather is just right for coastal exploration. The Cabot Trail shows off its best side with clear views of hidden coves and coastal lookouts. At the Bay of Fundy, you can actually walk on the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks during low tide - those towering flowerpot rocks rise four stories above you. The small groups get to join authentic experiences: sitting down to traditional lobster suppers in PEI, chatting with local potato farmers about their work and also visiting Sugar Moon Farm for real Maritime maple treats. Our guides Scott and Peter know how to keep things moving at a comfortable pace while sharing local stories that bring places like Green Gables and Lunenburg's historic streets to life.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall tours through the Maritimes run 9-11 days when the trees put on their color show, especially along the Cabot Trail and through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. You'll get properly immersed in the culture - learning a bit of Gaelic at the Gaelic College, joining in traditional "milling frolics" with live music and also exploring Mi'kmaq heritage at Millbrook Centre. The days mix guided walks through fishing villages with visits to Alexander Graham Bell's workshop, plus free time to wander spots like Charlottetown's waterfront on your own. Fall's cooler air makes it nice for walking tours through Lunenburg, where local guides share stories about the UNESCO-listed town's shipbuilding past. Globus really delivers on the basics - their tour guides Scott and Peter know their stuff and keep things interesting while moving groups smoothly from place to place in comfortable coaches. Our travelers consistently mention how well-organized everything is, though a few note there can be quite a bit of information to take in during tours and some longer bus rides between destinations. If you're looking at Atlantic Tours, their Bay of Fundy trip stands out as a customer favorite. The guides Lana and Eunice get lots of positive mentions for sharing local knowledge, and travelers love the combination of practical comfort (good buses) and memorable experiences like fresh lobster dinners and getting up close with whales on the water. The whale watching is particularly good since the guides know exactly where to look and when to go for the best sightings. Both companies clearly focus on getting the fundamentals right - knowledgeable guides, sensible logistics and also comfortable transport. The main difference seems to be in their specialties, with Atlantic Tours really excelling at showing off maritime Canada while Globus handles a broader range of destinations.
