Nova Scotia’s Seven Regions

Nova Scotia, a province brimming with natural beauty and cultural charm, is divided into seven distinct tourism regions, each offering unique experiences. On the Northumberland Shore, visitors can relax on warm-water beaches and enjoy coastal serenity. The Bay of Fundy & Annapolis Valley is perfect for whale watching and wine tasting, while Cape Breton Island beckons with the scenic Cabot Trail and lively Celtic music. The South Shore boasts picturesque coastal communities, perfect for a peaceful retreat. Yarmouth & Acadian Shores offers a rich blend of Acadian history and culture. Nature lovers will be captivated by the Eastern Shore’s stunning landscapes. The Halifax/Dartmouth region combines vibrant city life with historic charm, making it an ideal base for exploring Nova Scotia. Each region offers its own attractions, ensuring a diverse and unforgettable experience

The Best Day-trips from New York City

Visiting New York City is an unforgettable experience—with its famous landmarks, world-class museums, and endless energy. But if you have a few extra days in your trip, why not take a break from the hustle and bustle and explore beyond the city?

There are many exciting places just a short drive or train ride away from NYC. From peaceful towns and beachside escapes to scenic hikes and historic spots, these destinations give you a chance to see a different side of New York and nearby states

Around the World

Black Hole Brook Falls

Located near Canning, Nova Scotia, Black Hole Brook Falls offers two stunning waterfalls and sea caves along the Bay of Fundy. With breathtaking views and a hint of adventure, it’s a must-see for those seeking off-the-beaten-path beauty on the East Coast

A Private Island Escape

Nova Glamping is an oasis for anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime glamping experience. Located on a private island in West Dover, Nova Scotia, our island is 35 minutes away from downtown Halifax and 5 minutes away from Peggy’s Cove

World’s Largest Fiddle

A Taste of Nova Scotia

Led by Chef Jason Lynch, Le Caveau offers a menu inspired by seasonal local ingredients, celebrating the best of Nova Scotia’s land and sea. With an emphasis on community, the restaurant provides an exceptional dining experience, perfect for both casual meals and private gatherings

The Ultimate Irish Castle Bucket List

Visiting Ireland’s castles isn’t just about ticking landmarks off a list — it’s about stepping straight into the country’s story. Walk through centuries-old archways, feel the cool stone under your hands, and imagine the clang of swords or the soft chatter of medieval banquets. Each turret and tower carries echoes of lives once lived here. At Blarney Castle, you’ll do more than kiss the famous stone for the gift of the gab — you can wander through magical gardens filled with winding paths, hidden corners, and even a poison garden that would make any herbalist shiver with delight. Up north, Dunluce Castle perches dramatically on the edge of the Atlantic, its crumbling walls and haunting legends giving you goosebumps long before the sea spray reaches your face
