In Part 2 of this Nova Scotia adventure, all roads lead to Halifax, the vibrant harbour city that has shaped Atlantic Canada for centuries. Here, the pair dive into the city’s remarkable past — from the tragedy of the Sinking of the RMS Titanic, which turned Halifax into the centre of the global recovery effort, to the devastating Halifax Explosion, one of the most powerful non-nuclear blasts in history.

Between powerful stories of resilience, Nick and Amy experience the city from both land and sea — climbing aboard the amphibious Harbour Hopper Tours, sampling fresh Nova Scotia oysters along the waterfront, and finishing their journey sailing at sunset with a glass of local wine thanks to J Farwell Sailing Company.

Across two episodes, this is a journey through Atlantic Canada’s landscapes, flavours, and defining moments — from lobster pounds and vineyards to shipwrecks and survival stories. A fitting finale to a road trip that began a thousand miles away in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Nick and Amy arrive in Nova Scotia for the final leg of their Atlantic Canada road trip — a place where dramatic coastlines, deep history, and unforgettable food all collide.

In Part 1, the journey begins with a ferry crossing over the legendary Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides on Earth and some of the richest waters in the North Atlantic. From there they explore the Annapolis Valley before heading to the tiny fishing village of Hall's Harbour, where lobster traps line the docks and dinner comes straight from the ocean at Halls Harbour Lobster Pound & Restaurant.

Along the way they uncover the Scottish roots behind the name Nova Scotia, the diverse communities who now call this place home, and discover why the cold Atlantic waters produce some of the largest lobsters on the planet. The day ends in the charming town of Wolfville, the heart of the region’s rapidly growing wine scene, with a stop among the vines at Luckett Vineyards.

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.

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.

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.

Nick and Amy arrive on Prince Edward Island, easing into Island life as the Northumberland Strait gives way to red cliffs, wide skies and a different pace of living.

Nick and Amy spend their first night at MYSA Nordic Spa & Resort in St. Peters Bay, taking part in the ancient Scandinavian cycle of hot, cold and stillness, and speaking with owner Isaac Murphy about why wellness feels so deeply rooted in rural Prince Edward Island.

The journey continues east with kayaking at Nature Space Resort. Co-owner Heather also introduces Nick and Amy to the history of the indigenous Mi'kmaq people who have called this place home for thousands of years.

Nick and Amy head to the very edge of North America for a whirlwind trip across Newfoundland and Labrador — a place defined by big landscapes, deep history and even bigger characters.

In part 2 they experience Newfoundland and Labrador's famous hospitably & kitchen parties with traditional music and storytelling at Sullivan’s Songhouse in Calvert.

Food and drink are never far away — from hyper-local, foraged dining at The Forager at Cliffs Edge Retreat to a lighthouse picnic overlooking the Atlantic, and iceberg beer brewed with real iceberg water.

Finally, Nick & Amy head to Christian’s Pub to take part in a true Newfoundland and Labrador rite of passage for visitors — the infamous screech-in ceremony — where newcomers are “made honorary Newfoundlanders” by kissing a cod fish and downing a shot of rum.

Along the way, the couple meet the people shaping modern Newfoundland and Labrador tourism, uncover stories of resilience and reinvention, and discover why this rugged, remote province leaves such a lasting mark on everyone who visits.

Nick and Amy head to the very edge of North America for a whirlwind trip across Newfoundland and Labrador — a place defined by big landscapes, deep history and even bigger characters.

Based in St. John’s, they explore one of the oldest European cities in the New World, walking its streets with local guide Pierre Trowbridge and learning about the province’s powerful pull on those who leave and inevitably return, including Georgestown Inn owners Cindy and John.

From there, the journey takes them south along the Irish Loop to Ferryland, where they step inside the 17th-century Colony of Avalon.

Out on the water in Bay Bulls, they join Noah O’Brien — he works with his father, a former fisherman turned tour pioneer — for a whale and seabird tour among puffins and humpbacks!

Along the way, Nick and Amy meet the people shaping modern Newfoundland and Labrador tourism, uncover stories of resilience and reinvention, and discover why this rugged, remote province leaves such a lasting mark on everyone who visits.
