Atlantic Canada is a region of Canada comprised of four provinces that’s world-famous for the Bay of Fundy and the Cape Breton Cabot Trail. You’ll find memorable experiences in nature, food, history and culture throughout this entire region. In this video, we feature two of the region’s beautiful provinces. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are two out of three Maritime provinces located in Atlantic Canada. Both of these provinces have their distinct qualities, but one of the best things they share is the Bay of Fundy – a place where the tide rises to 48 feet and a colossal 160 billion tons of seawater crash in and out of the bay every day. Thanks to this, the vibrant cities, charming towns and great outdoors – magic moments come easy to Atlantic Canada. In this video, you can discover a few of them.

While the local fisherman of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island will happily demonstrate their rugged lifestyles, you’ll sink into the luxuries of two pampering resorts – the Digby Pines and the historic Algonquin.
