Gaspe, Panoramic Tour of Gaspe

The perfect option for those who wish to discover the treasures of Gaspé by bus. Begin your tour in Gaspé, which is associated with the beginning of western history in North America; the cross that Jacques Cartier erected there in 1534 has made it the birthplace of Canada. Wherever one is in Gaspé, water - either fresh or salty - is never far away. Travel for 45 minutes to Forillon National Park, sure to be a unique adventure. The tip of Forillon, which was declared a Canadian national park in order to preserve the wild beauty of its coast, reveals various geological formations and phenomena up to 450 million years old. Its majestic landscapes cover a large area that is carved out of the sea, cliffs and mountains. Here, where the land joins the sea, are born pebble beaches, dizzying cliffs, small coves, rocky capes and fine sand beaches. The presence of 10 different rock formations, colonies of seabirds and enigmatic arctic-alpine plants give this park its unique character. Visit Grande Grave and The Hyman & Sons General Store which has been anchored for more than 100 years in Grande Grave, testifying to the golden age and cultural diversity on the Forillon Peninsula. The Hyman & Sons General Store is full of treasures and occupies the ground floor of the original home built by William Hyman in 1864. When you step into the store's warm atmosphere of yesteryear, you'll discover the typical operations of the "company stores" operated by the major fish merchants and their huge inventory, including: canned products, patent medicines, china dinner services, farming equipment, fishing tackle, clothing, etc. Return to the bus to travel 30 minutes to the Micmac Center. This interpretation site showcases the Mi'gmaq First Nation's culture and community in Gaspé. Ancestors have maintained for decades good rapport with European fisherman and this relationship has influenced the natives even today. Through their interpretive activities, the site highlights the history of the community since the 16th century. Enjoy a snack of Bannik bread and maple syrup. Please note: Dress in layers of clothes according to weather, and wear comfortable shoes for walking.

Your Gaelic adventure will begin as you board your transportation for a scenic drive through the heart of the Bras d'Or Lakes region of Cape Breton. The Bras d'Or Lakes, one of the largest salt-water lakes in Canada, stretches out over 450 square miles and sits right in the middle of the island.

You'll continue on to the Iona Peninsula, located in the center of Cape Breton Island to the Highland Village, a living history museum and cultural center that celebrates the Gaelic experience in Nova Scotia. Step back in time as you stroll the 43-acre hillside overlooking the Bras d'Or Lakes.

Throughout the village, the costumed guides will showcase the art of weaving, quilting, and rug hooking.

Bar Harbor, Grand Tour Of Acadia National Park & Lobsterbake

The undeniable beauty and majesty of Acadia National Park is just a short hop from Bar Harbor but it probably feels like another world. After boarding your air-conditioned transportation at the pier, you'll travel along the Park's scenic Loop Road that encircles Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park. Stop at the Hull's Cove Visitor Center and explore the extensive diorama of the park, collect maps, and trace the route you are about to take before setting off into the reserve. Sit back and relax as you pass by the many beautiful carriage roads and hand-cut stone bridges. You'll continue past famous sights including Jordan Pond House, and Otter Cliffs, before arriving at Cadillac Mountain, named for French explorer Sieur de la Mothe Cadillac, who migrated from France and settled in Maine during the 17th century, (and later moved west and established a little town called Detroit). Cadillac Mountain rises 1,532 feet above Mount Desert Island . It's not only the tallest mountain in Acadia but is the highest point along North America's eastern seaboard and from October to March it's the first spot in the U.S. to see the morning sun. It may be windy up at the top but a walk up to the summit rewards you with dramatic 360-degree views of Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay, and the Cranberry Islands. Then it's on to another natural wonder: Thunder Hole. This small inlet is famous for the thunderous clap that occurs when seawater crashes into the tiny inlet and water is forced out. If you decide to take a photo, be prepared to get soaked, the waterspout can explode as high as 40 feet! On your way to the restaurant you'll travel through picturesque Seal Beach. Once at the restaurant you'll enjoy a buffet lunch that includes lobster (steak is available for those who do not prefer lobster), clam chowder, corn on the cob, potato salad, coleslaw, and your choice of blueberry dessert or cake. After lunch, another must see photo stop is on the itinerary before you return to your ship. In the heart of the Park is the Jordan Pond House with a beautiful view of the Penobscot Mountains and Bubbles Hill as you explore the grounds. Please note : Dress in layers and bring a hat and raincoat or umbrella.
