Self-Drive Tours in Atlantic Canada

Reference CTS11613

Known for its coloured, multi-cultural past, the history of Atlantic Canada has been shaped by generations of settlers – first came the Vikings, followed by the French, Irish, Scottish and English. The unique patchwork of culture makes Atlantic Canada the perfect destination for a self-drive holiday you will never forget.

Comprised of the provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland – also known as the Maritime Provinces - the region is awash with fascinating sites of historical significance. The striking, diverse scenery will capture your imagination from the moment you arrive, from dramatically rocky and rugged shorelines in Newfoundland to the winelands of Nova Scotia, the quaint towns of New Brunswick and the green landscapes of Prince Edward Island.

You’ll find wildlife in abundance in Atlantic Canada, including whales, puffins, moose and bear. Keep your eyes peeled as you cruise along the stretches of road for a glimpse of these creatures frolicking in their natural habitat.
