Tour overview

This 11-day tour is designed for people travelling on their own, with flights, a tour director and nine nights in comfortable three- and four-star hotels and resorts, with breakfast every day and a welcome dinner.

From Halifax you visit the lighthouse at Peggy's Cove and the colourful harbour town of Lunenburg on the way to Digby. A ferry across the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides, brings you to St Andrews by-the-Sea for a free day.

After Fundy National Park you cross the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island, with Green Gables and the little capital of Charlottetown, then take a ferry to Cape Breton Island to drive the spectacular Cabot Trail before flying home.

Every Travelisto booking is 100% financially protected. Your money is held in a ring-fenced Trust account until you return from your trip, and we are members of the Protected Trust Services scheme (PTS 6035). Most tours also include ATOL protection where flights are part of the package.

Do I need a visa for Canada?

UK citizens do not need a visa for a holiday, but need an eTA (electronic travel authorisation) to fly to Canada.

Can you tailor the trip?

Yes — every escorted tour can be modified into a private tailor-made version with your own dates, adjusted pace, upgraded hotels and add-on extensions. Tell us what you'd like changed when you enquire and we'll quote it both ways so you can compare.

What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?

If your international flight is part of your booking through us, we re-book at no cost. If you've booked flights separately, the tour's local team holds your transfer slot until you arrive. We strongly recommend a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes delay and cancellation cover.
