Tour Overview
Bay of Fundy | Lunenburg | Mahone Bay | LaHave Island
Ocean breezes, seaside towns, sandy shores, and fishing villages- You are in Nova Scotia, the hidden gem of Canada. Savor a selection of the best seafood on the gorgeous Atlantic Coast, and witness some of the world’s highest tides of the Bay of Fundy and the innovative dykelands that contain them. Cycle through the stunning countryside, past the sapphire blues of the Atlantic Ocean, and along sleepy fishing villages of Mahone Bay and LaHave Island on this Nova Scotia bicycle tour.
Our Nova Scotia cycling trip begins in Annapolis Royal, the former capital of Nova Scotia. We pedal to the historic town of Wolfville and end our journey in the picture-postcard coastal town of Lunenburg- immaculate with its preserved British colonial vibes, colorful homes, historic buildings, and a stunning harbor. During your stay, enjoy some of the quaint and historic inns of Nova Scotia, soak in the maritime weather, and warm up to the outstanding hospitality of this coastal community.
