15 Days in Eastern Canada, incl. Toronto and Montreal
A 15-day tour through Eastern Canada takes you to 9 cities including Toronto, Quebec City, and Montreal. Marvel at Niagara Falls, wander through Algonquin Provincial Park, and watch whales in Tadoussac. Total costs around $6,400 includes 13 nights' accommodation with maximum 12 travelers.
- Days 1-2
Toronto & Niagara Falls
Spend your first day in Toronto exploring the vibrant Distillery District and Chinatown. Visit the CN Tower around 4 PM to skip the biggest crowds - tickets cost $53 CAD. Head to Niagara Falls early on day 2, arriving by 8:30 AM before tour buses show up. Book your Hornblower boat ride ($39 CAD) ahead of time and bring something to protect your phone from water.
- Days 3-4
Algonquin Provincial Park & Ottawa
The drive to Algonquin Park takes about 4 hours (320 km). Visit between mid-September and early October for spectacular fall colors. The trails can get slippery when wet, so pack boots with good traction. Start your Ottawa visit with an early morning walk around Parliament Hill. The Rideau Canal offers great photo spots at sunset.
- Days 5-7
Montreal & Whale Watching
Walk through Montreal's historic district but wear solid shoes for the old cobblestone streets. Take a trip up Mont Royal on the funicular for city views. For whale watching near Tadoussac, pack warm clothes no matter the weather. Book morning tours if you get seasick since the water is usually calmer then.
- Days 8-10
Gaspé Peninsula
Route 132 along the St. Lawrence River offers incredible views. Ferry times change with the tides, so stay flexible. Visit Île Bonaventure early for the best bird watching. In summer, you can see up to 116,000 gannets nesting on the island.
- Days 11-13
Quebec City Region
A recent visitor shared: "The funicular ride in Quebec City offers incredible views, but lines get long after 11 AM. Go first thing and you'll have the Old Town almost to yourself." Take the cable car up Montmorency Falls and walk down for the best experience. Stop by the Île d'Orléans in late afternoon to try local ciders.
- Days 14-15
Return via Montreal
Leave Quebec City in the morning for the 3-hour drive to Montreal to avoid traffic. If you're flying out, give yourself extra time at the airport since security can be slow in peak season.
18 Day Atlantic Canada Itinerary, incl. Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
An 18-day route through 17 Eastern Canadian destinations from Halifax to St. John's awaits. Visit UNESCO sites at Lunenburg and Gros Morne, cross Confederation Bridge and sail Bonne Bay. Features six strategic two-night stays and 33 meals.
- Days 1-2
Halifax & South Shore
Start your trip in Halifax, the vibrant capital of Nova Scotia. Get to Peggy's Cove early on day 2. The lighthouse looks best at sunrise before the crowds show up. Take a drive down the South Shore to the UNESCO site of Lunenburg. Visit the Fisheries Museum in the afternoon when fishing boats come back to port. You'll get a real look at Nova Scotia's maritime culture from the museum's working wharf.
- Days 3-4
Prince Edward Island
Cross the impressive 13km Confederation Bridge and explore Charlottetown's historic area. A local traveler shares: "The walking tour through the old town really brings the Confederation story to life—but wear comfortable shoes as the cobblestones can be tricky." Make time for the red-sand beaches at PEI National Park. Visit Anne of Green Gables Heritage Place later in the day when it's less crowded.
- Days 5-6
Cape Breton Island
Stay in Baddeck by the Bras d'Or Lake. Plan a full day for the Cabot Trail. Start early and go counterclockwise for the best views. Bring motion sickness pills if you need them. The Alexander Graham Bell Museum makes a good backup plan on rainy days.
- Days 7-8
Newfoundland's West Coast
Book a cabin for the overnight ferry to Port aux Basques. The seas can get rough in winter. The drive to Port au Choix through Gros Morne National Park takes about 5 hours. Stop at Woody Point for lunch and photos to break up the trip.
- Days 9-10
Northern Peninsula & Labrador
Book the St. Barbe to Blanc Sablon ferry well ahead. Red Bay's UNESCO site is small but interesting. Bring warm clothes for the strong winds off the Strait of Belle Isle. L'Anse aux Meadows offers great Viking history with good guides to explain it all.
- Days 11-12
Gros Morne National Park
Take the Bonne Bay boat tour to see the fjords. Get a guide for the Tablelands hike. They'll help you understand the unique geology. Bring extra layers since the weather changes quickly.
- Days 13-14
Central Newfoundland
Start your day early at Gander's North Atlantic Aviation Museum to avoid crowds. It's about 2 hours to Twillingate. Watch for moose near sunset. Long Point Lighthouse is perfect for spotting icebergs in May-June.
- Days 15-16
Trinity & Bonavista
Get a walking map from the visitor center to see Trinity's historic sites. The Cape Bonavista Lighthouse has a steep climb but great views. One visitor noted: "The historic interpreter's stories about lighthouse keeping brought the harsh reality of their lives into sharp focus."
- Days 17-18
St. John's
Set aside 3 hours for whale and puffin watching in the bay. Bring a windbreaker for Signal Hill even on nice days. The East Coast Trail near Cape Spear offers great ocean views but gets slippery when wet.
