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

  • Cycling Prince Edward Island: This island province sometimes seems like it was created specifically for bike touring. Villages are reasonably spaced, 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.
