Canada : New Brunswick Discovery

The largest of Canada's three Maritime Provinces, New Brunswick is perhaps best known for the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest and wildest tides in the world. But beyond this UNESCO biosphere reserve, New Brunswick also boasts beautiful sandy beaches along its eastern coastline, whilst inland over 80% of the province is covered in forest – making for some spectacular fall foliage. Rolling hills and river valleys, remote farms and modern cities make up this unique and varied corner of Canada.

This independent itinerary covers a range of scenic attractions from the mighty Miramichi River to the endless east coast beaches, offering a chance to enjoy the abundant birdlife of the Acadian Peninsula and the staggering Fundy tides at Hopewell Rocks.

During your holiday you can also delve into the fascinating history of the Acadian region. Acadia is the name that early explorers gave to the Maritime coast of Canada, perhaps because it reminded them of Acadia of ancient Greece, a land where the gentle country made rural life especially idyllic. The descendants of the first European settlers are still known as Acadians and Acadia is still a land of exceptional beauty and tranquility.
