Hiking<\/strong><\/p>\n

From seaside trails to enchanting old-growth forests and breathtaking mountain views, Nova Scotia\u2019s unique landscape makes for some of Canada\u2019s best all-season hiking options. The 3,000-acre Victoria Park in Truro features forested trails, dotted with winding rivers and cascading waterfalls, while the Cape Split Provincial Park trails offer panoramic coastal views.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boating and Sailing<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With over 13,000 km of stunning coastline, sailing and boating are a must during the warmer months in Nova Scotia. While more experienced boaters may want to set sail on their own adventure, the province also offers top boat tours and charter experiences. A boat tour off of Cape Breton Island is a perfect chance to see Atlantic Puffins, seals, and more native wildlife, while a trip along the Bras d\u2019Or Lake will guide you along Canada\u2019s largest inland saltwater sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three-kilometre Halifax Boardwalk is one of the world\u2019s longest downtown boardwalks. Dotted with cultural experiences like the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and tons of shops, boutiques, and fresh seafood restaurants, the boardwalk is one of the most popular destinations for tourists and locals alike.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Cape Breton Highlands National Park<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With stunning oceanside cliff views, the trail features access to the park’s 26 hiking trails, stunning lookout points, and serene beaches.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Old Town Lunenburg<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
