REMOTE COASTAL SPLENDOR

Join us for the trip of a lifetime to Nova Scotia which in Jacobean Latin means “New Scotland.” The unspoiled beauty of Cape Breton Island resembles the highland country of Scotland. Travel along one of the most beautiful drives in the world - The Cabot Trail – to view the dramatic coastline where the mountains meet the sea. Nova Scotia is a rich blend of Scottish, English, Irish and Acadian traditions. It is the Land of Evangeline, made famous by Longfellow’s poem. Craggy shorelines, authentic fishing villages, expansive apple orchards, historic forts, placid lakes, charming Lunenburg, Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse and bustling Halifax – this is Nova Scotia and so much more!
