  • Summary

  • Destination: Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island Adventures History, Adventure and Cuisine Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island adventures are waiting for you. I can take you on a journey to the world’s most captivating destinations! Today, we’re heading to the stunning province of Nova Scotia, Canada and Jekyll Island, Georgia for adventures, history and cuisine. Known for its rugged coastline, breathtaking landscapes, and rich maritime history, Nova Scotia is an outdoor lover’s paradise. Whether you're into hiking, whale watching, or just soaking in the salty sea air, there’s something for everyone in this coastal gem. It is truly an outdoor playground. Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island adventures are on a long, long list. So, let’s start with hiking and Coastal Adventures along the beautiful shores of Nova Scotia. One of the best ways to experience Nova Scotia is on foot. The province boasts hundreds of scenic trails, but if you’re looking for the ultimate hike, the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park should be at the top of your list. With sweeping views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this easy-to-moderate trail offers a chance to spot bald eagles, and even whales from the cliffs above. For those who prefer a mix of history and nature, the Old Town Lunenburg is a must-visit. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site… I love finding these historic sites and this is one of the best-preserved examples of a British colonial settlement and offers colorful 18th-century architecture, along with charming waterfront trails. I think everyone loves to see whales in their natural habitat and whale Watching in Nova Scotia is certainly a highlight. You can also get out on the water for sporting activities. Nova Scotia is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, making it a haven for marine life. Hop on a boat in the Bay of Fundy, home to some of the world’s highest tides and an excellent place to spot humpback, minke, and even the rare North Atlantic right whale. There in the Bay of Fundy an astonishing 160 billion tons of seawater flow in and out every day, creating dramatic tidal shifts up to 50 feet. When you visit, it is a magnificent site to see the drastic change in water level as the tides change. This unique environment not only supports diverse marine life but also offers incredible experiences like tidal bore rafting on the Shubenacadie River, where visitors can ride the powerful incoming tides in a thrilling adventure. Kayaking along the coastline is another unforgettable experience—paddle through sea caves, past rugged cliffs, and alongside playful seals. It’s all there…. All you need to do is bring along you desire to have a grand adventure. This is one you can definitely share with family and friends back home. You may even have a chance to brag a bit about this one. Speaking of being out on the water. There are tasty bites that come from the waters too. What’s top of the list is Lobster! After a day of adventure, there’s no better way to refuel than with some fresh Nova Scotia seafood—especially lobster! For an authentic experience, head to The Shore Club in Hubbards, where they’ve been serving traditional lobster suppers since 1936. If you’re in Halifax, don’t miss The Five Fishermen, known for its rich seafood history and legendary lobster dishes. But, my favorite and I highly recommend this experience of eating, driving to the area and seeing the climate and weather change right before your eyes. Come for a casual but equally delicious meal, at Hall’s Harbour Lobster Pound where you’ll enjoy a classic maritime experience - you can choose your own lobster fresh from the tank and enjoy it overlooking the Bay of Fundy. Afterwards, walk around the small town and check out the area. You’ll thank me for this one… for sure. Traveling along the shore has always been fascinating … to see small towns and fishing villages, a more relaxed way of life…. But, our great fascination is with lighthouses. And,
