Read moreNova Scotia, meaning ‘New Scotland’ in Latin, was one of the original provinces that became part of Canada in 1867. This region has a wonderful mix of cultures, with influences including the native Mi’kmaq peoples and Scottish settlers, who have brought their own culture and traditions. The majority of this small province is surrounded by the ocean. Its capital, Halifax, provides a gateway for exploring the area, which can be accessed by direct flights from London or via train from Montreal.

Discover the culinary highlights of Nova Scotia, and sample some of the delicious dishes that have been inspired by the fresh Nova Scotia-grown produce. Try handmade chocolates in the downtown area, and go behind the scenes in the kitchens of popular North End eateries. Nova Scotia is also justly famous for its lobster. Try Shore Club in the small town of Hubbards, which has been serving up lobster suppers for over 78 years, or Hall's Harbour Lobster Pound in the small coastal community of Hall's Harbour, where you can pluck a fresh lobster from the tank, then have it cooked fresh in front of you.
Join a guide for a hike along a section of Nova Scotia's most celebrated track, the Cabot Trail. This 297-km route covers the northern tip of the island, winding through the Cape Breton Highlands National Park where there are 28 walking trails. The 9km-long Skyline Trail, located 15 minutes from the park entrance, is recommended. Walk through the boreal forest to discover breathtaking scenery where the mountains plunge into the sea. Look out for resident moose, bald eagles overhead, and whales that may surface in the water below. As the darkness gently descends, look out across the horizon for views of the setting sun.
