PEI, NB & NS

Rick McSwain of NetworkTravel.ca checks in from Halifax after an unforgettable 10-day adventure through Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Joined by tour manager Joanne, Rick shares what makes exploring the Maritimes with a private group so much fun—from the flexibility to change plans on the fly to discovering local culture, food and hidden gems you might otherwise miss.
We talk lobster, seafood chowder, the spectacular Cabot Trail, PEI, Peggy’s Cove, the Bay of Fundy’s incredible tides and why September and October are such popular times to visit Atlantic Canada.
Plus, Rick gives some advice for planning a Maritime adventure and teases future Network Travel trips—including more time in PEI, possible golf adventures and a Quebec City Christmas market getaway.
It’s travel inspiration, plenty of laughs and a reminder that sometimes the best experiences happen when you leave a little room in the itinerary for the unexpected.
