New Brunswick + Prince Edward Island

Why visit New Brunswick + Prince Edward Island

New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are maritime provinces in Canada, defined by characterful coastlines, a gentle pace and a deep sense of place shaped by the sea.

  • Whale-watching: The Bay of Fundy, on New Brunswick’s south coast, boasts the world’s highest tides. These currents draw plankton and krill, attracting 12 whale species. Minke, humpback, fin and the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale are the most commonly sighted. A private boat trip offers an intimate perspective on these majestic animals.
  • Hopewell Rocks: Perhaps New Brunswick’s most recognisable natural landmark, these extraordinary ‘flowerpot’ formations stand like sentinels along the coast. At low tide, you can walk beneath them across the ocean floor, experiencing the scale and sculpted beauty up close.
  • Saint Andrews: This seaside town charms with clapboard houses and sweeping coastal views. A short boat ride leads to Ministers Island, where a historic mansion, farm buildings and tidal flats await exploration. For hands-on discovery, join a marine biologist on a tidal-pooling adventure.
  • Fundy National Park: A cinematic blend of forest, waterfalls and coastline, Fundy National Park shows New Brunswick at its most dramatic. Trails wind through mossy woodland to viewpoints above the bay, often leaving entire stretches of wilderness to yourself.
  • Fresh seafood: Prince Edward Island is renowned for lobster, mussels and oysters. Savour a home-cooked feast by the water, or let our experts arrange a private sailing charter to haul your own lobster. Then enjoy a gourmet meal onboard while drifting along the island’s sparkling coastline.
  • Red sand beaches: Prince Edward Island’s rust-coloured shores, shaped by iron-rich sandstone cliffs, glow a deep copper in the late-afternoon light. These instantly recognisable beaches are perfect for quiet reflection or a gentle walk.
  • Lighthouses + coastal drives: Prince Edward Island’s coastline is dotted with lighthouses, each with its own story and spectacular views. Cycling or driving along the scenic roads reveals hidden coves, dramatic cliffs and peaceful beaches, with plenty of opportunities for photography or simply soaking in the scenery.

Moncton International Airport (YQM) is the largest in the province and a convenient gateway to south-eastern New Brunswick, including the Bay of Fundy.

Fredericton International Airport (YFC) serves central New Brunswick with regular flights to Toronto, Montréal and Ottawa. Saint John Airport (YSJ) is smaller but convenient for the southern coast and the Bay of Fundy, with daily domestic flights.

Prince Edward Island’s main airport is Charlottetown Airport (YYG), with regular flights from Toronto, Montréal, Halifax and Ottawa. Many travellers also arrive by car via the Confederation Bridge or by ferry from Nova Scotia, enjoying a first glimpse of PEI’s sparkling coastline.
