Hey guys I plan on doing a trek (in the cage, hopefully on a bike in the future) from Toronto all the way to PEI and then back during April or May. I want to go there and get lost, my girlfriend wants an itinerary and I am so bad at planning things. I don't like the standard go to a beach somewhere in the Caribbean as a retreat, I want to do stuff and before I visit anywhere outside of Canada I want to explore my own backyard.
The basics are as follows: I want to spend a day or two in each province (Quebec, New Brunswick, maybe Nova Scotia, and definitely PEI) With a more of an emphasis on the Maritime Provinces. I'm just having difficulty planning the sight seeing. I tried chopping it up province by province but this would be my first real travel experience and it's hard finding things worth doing. Does anyone who has done a tour through the east recommend anything? I don't know what the best thing is in each province. I figure I'd ask here, I tried google but it just seems to be a bunch of "pay this much and go to a museum for 20 minutes" rather than actual sight seeing. I hope no one takes the following as me being lazy, instead, I'd rather take some of the people on this site who have actually done these tours and see what they recommend. Hopefully there's someone out there who can help me plan a decent trip by recommending things that they enjoyed on their tours of the maritimes in the past.
Things I'd be interested in are:
Hiking/Trails
Waterfalls
Scenic, Curvy roads
Mountainous areas (perhaps a tour? I think New Brunswick is mountainous right?)
Old/Historic cities (So far I've got Old Quebec on the list of things to do)
Zip Lining
Coastal views
Good Small Town Restaurants/Pubs
Scenic Beaches
Wildlife
Boat tours
Light House tours
Observatories
Caves
And I'll try to add any more I think of along the way.
All hotels would be planned according to where exactly I'll be in the province. Any input of any of the above would be appreciated. You don't even have to give an explanation as to why I should visit it, if you visited something and would recommend it just list the province and I'll add it to the list and check it out for myself.
