Nova Scotia Wonders (formerly Experience Halifax)

Posted on April 26, 2019 by superadmin
Enjoy 8 days of adventures in and around Nova Scotia!

8 Days / 7 Nights (may be customized)Bar Harbor, ME- Yarmouth, NS – Halifax, NS, – Portland, ME

Rental Car Availability in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia is still extremely limited due to supply shortages.  In most cases the rental cars are already sold out as of April.  Cars are still available to rent in Maine but one must bring the car on board the ferry.  Our car-free program is operating as it was prior to 2019, but driver availability has been reduced as well.  We suggest booking early!

OVERVIEWITINERARYACCOMMODATIONSPACKAGE PRICING

Start your trip with comfortable Downeaster travel service to Brunswick, ME and transfer to Bar Harbor, ME, the home of Acadia National Park. Enjoy your choice of tour in Acadia along with free time to peruse downtown Bar Harbor. Next, board the CAT ferry to from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth Nova Scotia. Overnight in Yarmouth. On Day 2 you will depart Yarmouth and transfer to Halifax. Along the way, you will make stops in Historic Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Shelburne. The following day in Halifax will be spent on your choice of tour, where you will pass through this vibrant city viewing historic buildings and modern high rises lining the street, visit the Victoria Public Gardens, and much more, plus you will visit Peggy’s Cove in the afternoon. On the following day, transfer/tour from Halifax to Yarmouth where you will spend the night. After your night in Yarmouth, you will travel back to Bar Harbor aboard the CAT ferry. Your arrival time is about 13:00 (1:00PM) so we will take you down the coast towards Boston for an overnight in Portland, ME. You may also choose from Brunswick or Freeport. With the Ferry’s switch to Bar Harbor, the distance to the ferry has increased significantly. We suggest at least one overnight in Bar Harbor on any package due to the distance and time needed to travel and board the ferry. Boston to Bar Harbor is about 5.5 hours drive with no stops.

PACKAGE INCLUDES:

  • Round-Trip Amtrak Downeaster
  • All transfers within Maine and Nova Scotia
  • Round-trip ferry between Bar Harbor, ME and Yarmouth, NS
  • 7 Nights accommodations
  • 4 Tours – Acadia, Nova Scotia South Coast, Halifax Area featuring Peggy’s Cove and Annapolis Valley*
  • All taxes and driver gratuities
  • *In Halifax and Acadia National Park we have included the standard public tour. This may be upgraded to private touring. You may also change the Acadia National Park tour with a Bar Harbor Culinary Walking Tour.
  • Bar Harbor Hotel – Atlantic Oceanside or Acadia Inn, Yarmouth, NS – Rodd Grand, Halifax – Lord Nelson & Others, Portland, ME – Hyatt Place or Portland Regency Other hotels to choose from based on quality and budget
  • *New in 2022, you may add on a rental car at various points to lower your overall cost. Our deluxe car-free package is by far the best version of our packages due to all driving and touring done by our local partners
