ABOUT THE ITINERARY
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’ll start 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’ll 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.
