A mere five- to six-hour flight from London, Canada’s most easterly region is waiting to be discovered next year with a range of pristine nature, gastronomy, and sporting adventures. Kayaking around picturesque islands in the Nova Scotian moonlight, sampling the freshest oysters in Prince Edward Island, sleeping suspended in New Brunswick’s treetops, and hunting for magnificent icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, these once in a lifetime bucket-list adventures are highly sought after.
Newfoundland and Labrador – Hunt Icebergs from Land and Sea
Each year icebergs float down from the coast of western Greenland and appear off the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador. 2017 was a banner year for iceberg viewing. The size and quantity can be unpredictable so the best chance for travellers to encounter them in Newfoundland and Labrador is during the late spring and early summer months. Tour boats, zodiacs, and even kayaks promise iceberg fanatics the opportunity to experience these marvels of nature up close. Or perhaps a coastal hike along spectacular shoreline is in order. All offer a unique perspective of these magnificent formations, sculpted by nature and set against the backdrop of Newfoundland and Labrador’s charming coastal towns and fishing villages. To avoid missing out on seeing these glacial marvels, booking early is recommended.

Nova Scotia – Dining on the Ocean Floor
One of the most popular culinary experiences in Nova Scotia, Dining on the Ocean Floor takes place on the magnificent Bay of Fundy, at low tide. The gastronomic experience includes a foraging adventure with the head chef and a traditional “Shore Boil” lunch. Later, guests can relax and enjoy a 3-course meal with wine pairings from local vineyards and a sunset campfire. The experience is based on the tidal movements created by the moon and so booking early is advised to avoid missing out on this unique dining adventure.
