The white sand dune stretches more than 7 miles across Bouctouche Bay and has remained virtually unchanged since the glaciers melted. It is a haven for wildlife and there is a mile-long boardwalk that winds across the dune where visitors can observe the wildlife without encroaching on this sensitive area.

The market is alive with the aroma of fresh food and the colorful displays of produce, meats, and seafood. Browse for Maritime crafts, imported items, and items handcrafted by the City Market's own resident artists.NOTE: Several factors influence a successful whale-watching and wildlife excursion-Mother Nature does not keep a schedule. Therefore, we cannot guarantee sightings at any time. | | Day 11 | Halifax | Make a stop at THE HOPEWELL ROCKS and learn about the highest and wildest tides in the world, which rise and fall up to 52 feet. Time and tide have carved from the cliffs and coves distinctive sandstone formations topped with trees. Many of the formations have nicknames inspired by their appearance. Look for Lover's Arch, Dinosaur Rock, Mother-in-law, and ET, just to name a few. An evening arrival into the modern port of Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia. | | Day 12 | Halifax | Travel to one of the most photographed locations in Canada-PEGGY'S COVE.
