The province offers endless opportunities to embark on an adventure to remember, from whale watching, kayaking, hiking and more as they explore Nova Scotia's beautiful wilderness and diverse heritage. Other activities include cultural pursuits, fantastic museums, indigenous experiences, wineries, warm water beaches and star gazing. Areas to Explore… Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site: Experience the unsurpassed beauty and natural wonder of the only Parks Canada site that is designated both a National Park and a National Historic site. Explore wilderness trails, lakes and rivers by foot, mountain bike, canoe or kayak.

On the working waterfront you might just catch a glimpse of the Bluenose II – Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador.

Experience tidal bore rafting and view the unique coastal rock formations best seen from a hiking trail, or the water by kayak.

Cape Breton Highlands: With 26 hiking trails, six magnificent beaches, 24 stunning lookout points, eight campsites and world class golf at Highlands Links, as well as one of the world’s most scenic drives, The Cabot Trail; Cape Breton Highlands National Park is an outdoor adventure hot spot! Nova Scotia Activities… With over 8,000 miles of coastline, Nova Scotia has an abundance of beautiful beaches. Unwind with the rolling waves and breathe in the salty air. Grab a surfboard or simply relax on a warm, sandy beach with a good book. From Canada’s first true links course at Cabot Links and its sister course Cabot Cliffs, to the modern seacoast layout at Fox Harb’r Resort, Nova Scotia is welcoming the world to discover its exceptional golf experiences. For centuries, Nova Scotia’s lighthouses have greeted visitors from across the globe and helped protect those who make their living on the water. Today, 150 lighthouses remain and dot the rugged coastlines. Built in 1915, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse still keeps watch over surging ocean waves and working lobster boats and no beacon is as well-known or photographed. Nova Scotia is home to more than 20 wineries and vineyards, each a testament to the province's commitment and dedication to the craft. Sample wines from sparkling and icewine to rosés and reds and be sure to experience the signature appellation wine, Tidal Bay.
