You will wind your way through several lovely towns, including Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll never be far from the Atlantic Ocean, still plied by fisherman in brightly painted wooden dories working the nets just as their forebears have for generations. You’ll then cycle your way over to the Evangeline Trail and Annapolis Royal, the town that marks France’s formal colonization of Canada. Amazingly, Samuel de Champlain and Sieur de Monts would find the area little changed from the lovely coastline that they explored and settled more than 400 years ago.
This bike tour will appeal to travelers who want to get in a few more miles during the week, and see more of the province while they’re at it. Our Best of Both Coast’s Tour will have you cycling both the Lighthouse Route, along Nova Scotia’s South Shore, and the Evangeline Trail, which runs parallel to the incomparable Bay of Fundy. You’ll start the tour in Hubbards and cycle your way down the South Shore of Nova Scotia before heading over to the Bay of Fundy side of the province where the tides are the world’s highest, rising more than 54 feet (16.5 metres) in the Minas Basin.
Of course, no Pedal & Sea tour would be complete without incredible attention to detail. As you would imagine in a province that boasts more than 5,000 miles of coastline, seafood is our special bounty, and you’ll have the opportunity to taste the freshest seafood in both classic and modern dishes. Fortunately, the mileage on this tour is high, so you’ll be able to eat well without any guilt whatsoever.
Day One — 76.1 km / 47 mi (easy to moderate; 1 km equals 0.62 miles)
After an early shuttle from Halifax to Hubbards, you will set off on a bicycle ride around the Aspotogan Peninsula. See if you can spot the castle. You’ll pass through quaint villages and cycle by a handful of secluded, sandy beaches. After a tasty seaside lunch, you’ll continue around the peninsula to Chester, a comely village with historic homes, including the inn where we will hang our helmets for the evening.
Day Two — 46 km / 29 mi (easy to moderate)
Today, you leave Chester for a trip off the beaten path, cycling the quiet country roads through Indian Point and Mahone Bay. The destination is Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll rest for the evening. First settled in 1753, the town’s many historic buildings and homes will delight anyone with an eye for architecture or a passion for history.
Day Three — 96.7 km / 60 mi (moderate to challenging)
You will take a scenic ride on an old cable ferry to LaHave, and stop at the LaHave Bakery — treasured by locals — for a delicious lunch. You’ll continue on to Crescent Beach, Mill Village and Liverpool before settling in to our inn for the night.
Day Four — 47.3 km / 29 mi (easy to moderate)
We will head across the province towards the gorgeous town of Annapolis Royal. After breakfast and a beach we will make our way to Cosbys Gardens, a wonderful and whimsical collection of stone artwork. After our walk we will then shuttle you off to Kejimkujik National Park, where we will enjoy lunch at Mill falls, and those who wish can take a dip before we head off on bike. Finally, we have reached the quaint town of Annapolis Royal, our home for the next two nights.
Day Five — 51.7 km / 32 mi (moderate)
This morning’s ride will take you to the quaint little town of Bear River. There are a number of artisans living in this community selling their wares. After a stroll through town and a light lunch, we will make our way back to Annapolis Royal in time to explore the many sites before dinner.
Day Six — 116.2 km / 72 mi (moderate to challenging)
We will continue cycling through the Annapolis Valley to Hall’s Harbour, directly on the Bay of Fundy, which is home to the world’s highest tides. While you enjoy this quaint fishing village your guides will load the bikes back on the van. Our ultimate destination is Wolfville, a gorgeous and bustling university town.
Day Seven — (Interpretation Center Visit)
After breakfast, we will load up and head off to the Grand Pre Interpretation Center. Here we will learn the fate of our earliest French Settlers, the Acadians. Our tour ends with a transfer back to Halifax, sad that our adventure is ending, but glad to have made new friends.
