Maritime Provinces Clockwise Grand Loop
A grand loop through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, connecting the South Shore, the Bay of Fundy, and the Cabot Trail
The complete version of the three-province loop. Start by exploring the South Shore, enter New Brunswick via both sides of the Bay of Fundy, cross the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island, and return to Cape Breton by ferry. Traveling clockwise avoids a long, exhausting driving day from Lunenburg straight to Baddeck. Entering via the bridge and leaving by ferry also ensures you don't backtrack. The total driving distance is over 2,000 km, making it ideal for self-drive travelers with plenty of vacation time who want to see all three provinces in one go.
The ferry operates from approximately May to December, with reduced schedules in autumn. Reservations are required for July and August.
