The World Next Door

This is a journey of contrasts – between lively port cities and remote fishing villages, rugged headlands and rolling vineyards, storied forts and quiet trails. But what ties it all together is the enduring sense of place and pride that defines Nova Scotia.

From Halifax to Digby, each day brings you deeper into the heart of the region, culminating in a farewell dinner where the week's experiences come full circle. Whether it's your first time here or a return to familiar shores, this journey invites you to explore Nova Scotia not just as a destination, but as a living story – told in the stories of its people, the rhythm of its tides, and the beauty of its coastal light. Cradled by the Atlantic and shaped by centuries of seafaring, migration, and cultural exchange, Nova Scotia is a place where history isn't confined to museums – it lives in the salt air, the rhythms of coastal life, and the warmth of its communities. From rugged cliffs to colorful harbors, this is Canada's East Coast at its most soulful, where each experience feels both timeless and deeply personal. Read Less

Whale Watching on Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy

Where the ocean stirs with possibility and the tides shape the wild

Step into the heart of Mi'kmaq culture on a guided experience along the Eskasoni Cultural Journey trail, led by community members who share their traditions, stories, and everyday life. As you visit a series of village settings, you'll participate in meaningful hands-on activities – take part in a smudging ceremony, help prepare four cents cake over an open fire, and learn the intricate art of traditional basketry. Feel the rhythm of Pow Wow drumming, try your hand at dancing, and explore the time-honored skills of hunting and fishing. Along the way, you'll meet artisans and storytellers, and enjoy a taste of luskinigan bread with tea. It's an unforgettable opportunity to connect with the living culture of the Mi'kmaq people in a powerful and personal way.

Protect Your Travel Investment

Deposit Protection Plan – Tauck provides a "Deposit Protection Plan" at a cost of AUD $75 per person per tour or cruise. The cost is non-refundable and non-transferable and must be paid at the time of booking with your deposit. It only applies when you cancel your tour or cruise prior to final payment date. The deposit held in credit will exclude fees imposed by third parties in relation to air, rail travel, hotels, transfer or applicable cruise cabins. When booking airfares through Tauck (including when taking advantage of a special offer that includes air travel), standard airline cancellation fees will apply. In some cases, airfares will be non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, these fees will be deducted from the deposit paid, and therefore the credit being held.

This offer expires after the 24 months. We will only credit the remainder of the deposit to a future tour or cruise booking Balance Due and it can't be used as a credit for the initial deposit of a future tour or cruise booking. The Tauck "Deposit Protection Plan" only covers a Tauck tour or cruise and it does not replace Travel Insurance, which we recommend at the time of booking.
