Canada's Atlantic provinces share a heritage closely tied to the sea, but each offers unique outdoor experiences. Together, the coastal provinces feature picturesque fishing villages, rugged rocky coastlines, and opportunities that range from hunting and deep-sea fishing to sailing, scuba diving, whale watching, and iceberg scouting. But there's more: Newfoundland/Labrador boasts more than 40,000 moose, and vistas that rival the fjords of Norway; Nova Scotia offers 5000 lakes and streams full of brook trout and Atlantic salmon: New Brunswick beams with pride at fantastic whitetail deer hunting; Prince Edward Island brims with sailing and sportfishing. The area is a truly unforgettable experience!
