The Best Active Vacations

Sea Kayaking Nova Scotia: The twisting, convoluted coastline of this province is custom-made for snooping around by sea kayak. Outfitters are scattered all around the peninsula. For expedition kayaking, contact Coastal Adventures (tel. 877/404-2774 or 902/772-2774; www.coastaladventures.com), which leads trips throughout Nova Scotia and beyond.

Biking the Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia): This long and strenuous loop around Cape Breton Highlands National Park is tough on the legs, but you'll come away with a head full of indelible memories.

Exploring Fundy National Park & Vicinity (New Brunswick): You'll find swimming, hiking, and kayaking at this lovely national park. And don't overlook biking in the hills east of the park, or rappelling and rock climbing at Cape Enrage.

Bicycling Prince Edward Island: This island province sometimes seems like it was created specifically for bike touring. Villages are reasonably spaced, the hills virtually nonexistent, coastal roads picturesque in the extreme, and a new island-wide bike path offers detours through marshes and quiet woodlands.

Hiking Gros Morne National Park (Newfoundland): Atlantic Canada's best hiking is found in these rugged hills. You can hike amazing coastal trails, marvel at scenic waterfalls, and stroll alongside landlocked fjords at this exceptional park.
