ABOUT THE ITINERARY
Embrace the many charms of New Brunswick on our exciting self-drive holiday itinerary, taking in the untamed Bay of Fundy, the picturesque seaside town of St Andrews and the cultural highlights of Fredericton.
It may be the lesser known of the three Maritimes provinces, but New Brunswick is rich in character and wild scenery, and has so much to offer the willing traveller. You will start your luxury Canada holiday in Shediac, a pretty coastal settlement, but soon take off in your own vehicle to explore what else this enchanting region has to offer.
You will walk along the ocean floor in the Bay of Fundy, where tremendous tidal waves measure up to 15 metres, and dine on delicious seafood in the ‘lobster capital of the world’. You’ll discover the colourful history of places like Saint John and St Andrews by the Sea, visit Campobello Island and have time to spare for celebrated museums and incredible whale watching.
SHEDIAC
Fly to Halifax. Collect your hire car and check into your hotel situated in the heart of downtown Shediac, where your journey begins. This picturesque coastal town boasts the title of the ‘lobster capital of the world’, so is the perfect place to indulge in some fine seafood. You can take a stroll along Parlee Beach, while your hotel is conveniently located just steps from the town’s cultural and historical landmarks.
Stay: Two nights in a king room at Maison Tait House – bed & breakfast
THE BAY OF FUNDY
Next you’re off to explore the Bay of Fundy and its dramatic 15 metre tides which carve out a stunningly wild shoreline. At low tide, you can walk out for over a kilometre along the ocean floor. Experience these tidal wonders at the Fundy National Park which also has excellent hiking trails, kayaking and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Stay: Two nights in a standard room at The Falcon Ridge Inn – bed & breakfast
SAINT JOHN
Spend one night in Saint John, a charming city situated at the edge of the Bay of Fundy within Saint John Harbour. The city is filled with beautifully restored Victorian buildings and some great seafood restaurants; however, the main attractions are the New Brunswick Museum and the famous Reversing Falls.
Stay: One night in a king room at Hilton Saint John – bed & breakfast
ST ANDREWS BY THE SEA
Today you drive off to one of Canada’s oldest seaside resort towns and a designated Canadian National Historic District. Situated in Passamaquoddy Bay, St Andrews is a great place to go whale watching whilst fishing and kayaking tours are also popular. You can spend a day at Campobello Island or drive your car over the sea floor to Ministers Island – both are superb ways to take in the area’s rich history and scenic surroundings.
Stay: Three nights in a king room at The Algonquin – bed & breakfast
FREDERICTON
Your final stop is at Fredericton, the provincial capital of New Brunswick. The city is a hub of art and culture, so why not spend the day exploring its superb collection of galleries and museums, including the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and the Fredericton Region Museum. Your old-world style heritage hotel overlooks the Saint John River which flows through the heart of the city. It’s the perfect place to end your holiday, with tranquil reading rooms, a library and a bright breakfast room with pretty garden views.
