Spring Vacation Ideas

Fresh sea breezes beckon. Historic gardens burst into bloom. Glorious golf course greens tempt you to tee up. Spring in Nova Scotia is the time to grab a paddle and explore the coast. Pack a picnic and visit a park. Start your motorcycle engine and head for the Cabot Trail. Swing a leg over your bike saddle and pedal to the sea. Take a wagon ride into the sugar bush. Or sit down at an outdoor café and watch the city stroll by. The festival season is heating up. The weather is warming up. And the ways to enjoy yourself are never-ending.

	Go by Boat Nothing else will lift your spirits after a long winter than the getting out on the rising tide. Exploring Nova Scotia’s treasures – from the world’s highest tides to the amazing geological formations like the Three Sisters – is best done from the waterline. Take a whale watching tour.  Go on a harbour tour of Halifax or historic Lunenburg aboard a tall ship. Book a kayak tour of nooks and crannies of the eastern shore.
