Atlantic Canada

Leaving the coast behind, Amy and Nick head inland to Fredericton, following the path of the Wolastoq — known to many as the Saint John River — and discovering the people whose lives are shaped by it. After stepping back in time at Kings Landing and exploring Fredericton’s arts and poetry scene, they take to the water with Wolastoq Adventures, a family-run Indigenous business. Stories of language, land and first contact with Europeans are shared — offering perspective that stays with them long after they leave the river. The journey continues south to one of the world’s great natural spectacles at Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, where the science behind the highest tides on Earth comes to life. The episode winds down off-grid on the Kingston Peninsula, with cider tasting, forest cabins and a final reflection on what makes this province so quietly special. Episode 6 is about connection — to water, to history, and to the people who make New Brunswick far more than a place you pass through. For more information on the destinations covered in this series, please visit the links below... ⁠https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/⁠Quartermain House Bed & BreakfastKings LandingBeaverbrook Art GalleryWolastoq AdventuresHopewell RocksYip CiderLa Belle CabaneAtlantic Canada is collaboration between ⁠⁠⁠The Travel Podcast Agency⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Finn Partners⁠

Amy and Nick arrive on the Acadian coast of New Brunswick, where warm saltwater beaches, seafood traditions and layered history quickly reshape what they thought they knew about Atlantic Canada. From lobster rolls on Parlee Beach Provincial Park to heading out on the water with an oyster farmer, the day is rooted in the rhythms of the sea. Over dinner, they begin to understand Acadian identity — a culture shaped by resilience, language and survival — before heading to Le Pays de la Sagouine, where storytelling brings both joy and one of the darkest chapters in Canadian history into focus. As night falls, the Acadian story continues through the immersive forest walk of Akadi Lumina, before the day ends under some of the darkest skies in the region. Stargazing by the coast turns into a lesson in planets, supernovas and the sheer scale of the universe. This episode is about culture that refuses to disappear, stories passed down through generations — and the feeling that New Brunswick still has plenty more to reveal. For more information on the destinations covered in this series, please visit the links below... ⁠https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/⁠⁠Le Pays de la Sagouine⁠⁠Akadi Lumina⁠⁠Cliff Valley AstronomyAtlantic Canada is collaboration between ⁠⁠The Travel Podcast Agency⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Finn Partners⁠

This episode is about rest, ritual and reconnection. Nick and Amy continue their Nature Space Resort experience with guided forest bathing. Co-owner Heather introduces Nick and Amy to mindfulness, movement and the idea of slowing down with intention — not as a luxury, but as a way of life. They finish their stay at Blackbush Beach Resort, Prince Edward Island’s newest eco-friendly coastal wellness-focused retreat, where sea air, outdoor spas and community spaces blur the line between visitor and local. Along the way, Nick and Amy explore beaches, dunes, lighthouses and small coastal stops before crossing the Confederation Bridge into New Brunswick. A calm, immersive episode about island rhythms, nature-led wellness, and why Prince Edward Island might be the perfect place to exhale.For more information on the destinations covered in this series, please visit the links below...⁠https://www.tourismpei.com/⁠Blackbush Beach Resort⁠Nature Space ResortAtlantic Canada is collaboration between ⁠The Travel Podcast Agency⁠ and ⁠Finn Partners⁠
