- Nova Scotia tourism is hard to beat. From all the things to do in Halifax to incredible Canada road trips in Cape Breton, There are so many things to do in Nova Scotia.
Welcome to Nova Scotia!
From May 27th to June 6th, 2017, we toured Nova Scotia as part of the Road to 150 campaign. It was our second province during our 150-day road trip and what an incredible time we had. From the absolute natural beauty of Cape Breton Highlands National Park to the historic beauty of Halifax, the small-town charm of Lunenburg, and the excitement of tidal bore rafting, Nova Scotia is an incredible province to explore. Although we accomplished a lot in ten days, we really only scratched the surface of this incredible east coast province. Whether you're looking for that laid back East Coast charm, maritime history, or incredible natural wonders, Nova Scotia is the place to visit!

Canada's Road to 150 was a 150-day Canada-wide multimedia road trip celebrating Canada's 150th birthday by exploring the uniqueness of this country provincially and collectively while answering the question; What makes Canada special?
We drove to and through every driveable province and territory, showcasing Canada's natural beauty and regional attractions while interviewing Canadians of all cultures and backgrounds, including local celebrities, immigrants, refugees, and everyday rural and urban Canadians. Our aim was to dig deep into what makes Canada such an incredibly inspiring country while showing off the best of Canada's tourism to Canadians and to the world.

I love Nova Scotia. My mom is from there. The people are so nice. I could sit on the rocks at Peggy's Cove for hours and listen to the waves crashing.
Totally. There's a certain vibe to the East coast. Where are you living now?
We live in Oklahoma now. The last time I was up there was in 1990.
Oh wow, such a different place I'd imagine
@@nancystewart2063 Oklahoma is the lamest place in the world. I'm sorry dude
wow so interesting
I lived there for 13-years and I miss it so much. This video made me cry happy tears for all the beauty of Nova Scotia.
Where'd ya move?
@@christiangrendel9893 - Give it a try. What do you have to lose. There are lots of rocks and boats in Nova Scotia so maybe you would find one that rocks you. :-)
Canada is a great country - lots to do, see, open space, great people. What was it Bono said - "The World needs more Canada". I believe Barack Obama said the same.
Hi@@christiangrendel9893 - I have been to many parts of Canada. All really great. For such a small Province, Nova Scotia is very diverse in its landscape. Beautiful coastlines from dramatic rocky bluffs to white sand beaches that stretch on for miles, lush green farmlands producing lots of table crops, orchards, and also grapes and hops which produces good wines and great beers. Further east are the highlands which look a lot like Scotland and guess who settled there - the Scots. They even distill whiskey there. Lots of other craft distilleries scattered throughout the Province. Great places to hike, canoe/kayak, sail, etc. If you make it there you will have to try out rafting on the tidal bore. Halifax, the capital city, is very ethnically diverse, has a great food & music scene and has a perpetually young vibe due to all the university students attracted to the many universities that call Halifax home.
I'm hoping to make it my home pre retirement ❤
Sending my thoughts, heart, prayers, and condolences to the people of Nova Scotia. May god bless, guide, heal, and comfort the 22 families that lost loved one, the survivors, the first responders, and the people of Nova Scotia and the people of Canada 🙏🏻🌹🕊🍁🇨🇦
Drove to Halifax from the States and loved everything about the city. The people, the history, our hotel,
the Harbourwalk, the museums, and especially the seafood. And it was totally dog-friendly! Loved it so much
we'll be going back next summer!
That's awesome! Glad to hear! We're tempted to move out East too!
I’m looking to move out east from Toronto area to Halifax. Can’t wait
@Crush42 Mash hello , did you move to Nova Scotia??
Lots of love to all of you from me in Nova Scotia.
Love back fro Alberta :)
yes
From Bangladesh!
Love Canada
Canada is my dream land. In sha Allah One day I will go there.
Nova Scotia. She is the most beautiful place kissed by nature.
Nonsense! She was probably kissed on its rear side. That is more realistic! If you sit on its side all life then all you see is the dull landscape from your window. Then of course you don't wanna think that you live in the boonies, rather in the tropical paradise.
I love nova scotia, its my home. :)
I loved there so much. We'll be back for sure.
So fascinating love from pakistan
Vitali Kogas SAME!
I spent 8 yrs in Annopolis Valley as a kid. Took my family back last summer and so much enjoyed the people and places we saw. We rented a cottage on the ocean near Lunenberg and will always remember the sunsets and our grandchildren dancing on the deck.
I planning to immigrate from Egypt
Now THIS is a great video of Nova Scotia, and - as was mentioned - just barely scratches the surface.
Thank you! Yes, very hard to squeeze a province to under 10 minutes and keep attention spans lol :) We'd love to come back and expand!
Amazing scenery, incredible experiences and the warmest hearted people on the planet. Great job on this video. Makes me very proud to be Canadian!
I'm from south east Tennessee. and I've always wanted to see Canada Nova Scotia in particular beautiful country it looks like.. ive felt like I was a Canadian in a past life..im 32 Years old now and I find myself intrigued by the old TV commercials I see on TH-cam and donair shops Tim Hortons the type of lingo that folks speak up there anyway love the video and hope to visit some friendly people up there someday
haha that's awesome! Glad you like it so much. You're not far so you should definitely visit soon. Plus, with the dollar exchange, you'll basically get a 30% discount!
This is great! Happy 150th Canada 🍁
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
definitely a place to re visit , i fell in love with the place, the sceneries, the different people and culture and the history that molded into what it is today. I love you “little Scotland”
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for letting this Bluenoser see Nova Scotia through another's eyes. I'm glad you enjoyed it here...what a fantastic video!
Such a professional video! Stunning scenery and interesting interview snippets. Especially loved the tidal bore footage - that was incredible!
Thanks so much. Really appreciate the kind words. And yes, tidal bore was awesome. We hope to return in the summer one day when tides are really high!
Damn Canada, you are so beautiful.
:)
Indeed.
I love this country especially its weather
Its too cold most of the time, so its not beautiful!!
@@ravaydude3255 - You really are a Negative Nelly. Buy a good coat, boots, scarf and gloves for when the weather is cold.
Grew up there but sadly, I have not been able to get back in 30 years. Very sad. I love Nova Scotia and I am proud to say it is my true home. I am a BLUENOSER.
Where r u now?
Must Do Canada Wst Coast. Was over seas for a while. Miss it terribly.

hi just found your channel. so glad I did! I'm in rural Nova Scotia and there is so much beauty to see in our province. can't wait to catch up on your videos. I subscribed and would really appreciate a sun back. have a wonderful day! ~ Tracey
I came to Canada and did study in Toronto (Ontario) this year in January i move to Nova Scotia and really i fall in love with Nova Scotia Its incredible province with its natural beauty and i decide to live in Nova Scotia for forever #❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
That's awesome! Where did u move from?
Now ,i m living in Dartmouth(Nova Scotia). And i moved from Toronto.i was living near downtown Toronto .
@@lovelghotra4586 Awesome! But where from initially?
Also, I can never forget the Sunsets at Cape Breton Island !! So so picturesque !! Don’t have words to describe How beautiful that place is…
I bet! We only saw the one and it was spectacular.
@@MustDoCanada Hell Yeah !! It sure is !!
Nova Scotia is a beautiful province with beautiful people. I've been there a few times mostly on business, but a couple times for leisure. Definitely look forward to going again. Never a bad experience there!
Yes, we love it too! Can't wait to go back one day!
Migrating to Nova Scotia is the best decision I've made. Just recently, we've visited Pictou Island and we had an amazing camping experience. There's still a lot of places to visit.
Amazing, where did you move from?
@@MustDoCanada I am originally from the Philippines.
Gorgeous thanks for the share
I want to go there, so beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much for this lovely video!
Thank you for letting us know :)
cool video and really well put together! makes me want to go back to navo scotia now lol
haha Thanks.... We just left and would love to go back :)
Awesome - thank you so much for this wonderful series I just discovered - this episode makes me want to hop on a plane and spend two weeks there as well (have to do this one day for sure)! I will also be looking forward to following your channel & seeing other parts of Canada ...
Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun series to make. We have many new videos coming out over the next month: Toronto, Ottawa, Viking Trail, etc. Also heading to the arctic on Monday!
@@MustDoCanada Fantastic !!! Safe journey then - and keep the videos coming !
I hope I go to Canada one day and Nova Scotia is one of the places I'd love to go to
Where are ya from?
Great series of videos will help us plan our trip to this area. Beautiful photography and video.
Thank you! Glad we can help... and if you want more advice, go to mustdocanada.com. We write about it all there and feel free to reach out if you have any questions :)
This video makes me want to visit. Very Beautiful with a lot of history.
WOWWW..ENJOY!!
Beautiful!
Lovely video, but I was waiting for and surprised you didn't make it up to the Annapolis Valley....Annapolis Royal was the first settled area of Canada and the whole valley is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe you will get a chance to see this area another time!
Nova scotia is best place to visit and also people are so nice.
As Indian living in Alberta
I can say Nova Scotia and their people are the best
I’ve been to most cities in ontario, Montreal and rivière de loup in Quebec, Halifax Dartmouth lunenberg in Nova Scotia.
But Nova Scotia blew me away. The people super friendly, they never made me feel as outsider.
The only reason I had to leave Nova Scotia is expenses. I miss NS
Interesting. Yeah, we've always felt Newfoundland has the friendliest people, but really, Nova Scotia is up there too. For expenses, Nova Scotia is usually cheaper than Alberta, no?
@@MustDoCanada definitely not
Usually there are more apartments in Halifax than houses, the rents of apartments are really high
Minimum wage is 13.95, i think now or by next year its gonna be 15, there is less work compared to population.
I was only making 1600-2000 max a month, so i had to leave at the end (which I didn’t want to)
How's it going in Alberta
@@bauabh its good
If you were to rank people friendliness by provinces
personally i think from best to not so best
1. Nova Scotia
2. Alberta
3. Quebec
4. ontario
@@Wade9wilson yep. Nova scotians are known for their friendly nature . I've heard a lot about the people in maritime provinces being pretty welcoming
I've bean to most of these places and I'm glad someone took and notice how beautiful Nova Scotia
Glad you liked it!
Very nice video! I'm planning to go there next year!!
Awesome! You'll have a great time :)
Nova Scotia looks beautiful. For someone who has lived in Ontario, it may be a new experience.
This was an amazing video to watch.... Hopefully this year we'll be moving in NS...
Cool! Where ya moving from?
Must Do Canada me and my wife are from Philippines but currently working here in Kuwait...
Gracias por compartir con nosotros. I have now subscribed and will be watching more of your videos. 👍🏼 👍🏼
Muchas gracias !
My FAVORITE province. Hands down.
my wife and i went to nova scotia this year for a holiday and to visit an old friend . first thing we did when we got home , put the house up for sale . what an awesome place and wonderful people .
Wow, that's awesome! It is a great spot. Where ya moving from?
@@MustDoCanada we're from the highlands of Scotland originally but have lived in Saskatchewan for the last ten years . just need to sell the house then head east , we can't wait !!!
@@jackmckinnon8256 oh wow so it'll be a big change!
@@MustDoCanada compared to living on the prairies ??? just like going back home . we just loved nova scotia
greetings from Old Scotland
I liked so much this video, thanks so much
It looks spectacular!
10 days definitely isn’t long enough! 🥰 although I’ve lived here my whole life and still so much to see.
Nova Scotia ISELAND is so beautiful.
قمة في الروعة و الجمال الأخاذ الذي يأسر الألباب و يخطف الأبصار, سأزورها بإذن الله تعالى لما تسنح الفرصة, كندا ياقوتة أمريكا الشمالية البراقة.
Nova Scotia seems to be very beautiful and I would love to live there one day. Thank you for uploading this video :)
It is! We've been considering living there too. Hard to leave Calgary just because of the mountains. Are you in Canada now?
@Must Do Canada unfortunately not because I first have to finish the last year of college. But I am looking forward to leaving Germany :)
@@lilly2166 Oh cool! You live in Germany? We have some friends in Berlin. Visited them in 2015 but would love to spend more time there
I lived there 7 years. Missed a lot. Always consider it my second home.
That's awesome to hear. We'd like to live there one day ourselves
Wish you could have gone to do many more places!! This made me homesick for NS
Best place in the world!!!
All of the Maritimes.!!!
Nova Scotia is beautiful. I have been there. I have a friend that was born & raised there. She comes from a long line of Acadians. 👍👏😊 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
Awesome video! The only thing missing is the beautiful beaches that make up ‘Canada’s Ocean Playground’ ❤️
I knoooow, we need to get back there soon
I'm from Nanaimo, BC
I moved to nova scotia almost 2 years ago.
It's quite cold in the winter but the summers are nice. People here may have a strong accent but they are some of the most nicest people you will ever meet. Now I currently live in Cape breton island. It's really beautiful and stuff. Really good place to visit during any season
Summer is super warm from the huminity and the best beaches to cool off.
Fall has some of the greatest most interesting scenery.
Winter it gets alot of snow and you can go sledding down some mountains and have a good time
Spring is not too cold or hot a great time to go for a picnic or go to a park or somn. May is when the trees start to blossom so I reccomend that time
Sounds awesome! We'd love to see Cape Breton in the fall
Awesome video♡
I’d love to get there. Since I come to Canada, I’ve just travelled only in Ontario.
I'm blessed to have been born, raised and currently reside in Nova Scotia.
I am a Nigerian and would love to immigrate to Nova Scotia... God bless Canada
In the video at 5:08 that rock formation over the lady's shoulder is called Anthony's Nose. I grew up on a farm on the other side of the river from that formation and I watched those boats going up the river back in the 90's. I thought they were crazy but now that i'm moving back to Nova Scotia in 2 weeks can't wait to try it out.
I love Nova Scotia Bron there sis who a proud Nova Scotiaen
Being from Old Scotland I think it's time I visited New Scotland! Canada really is the most beautiful place in the world.
Totally! We'd love to go to Old Scotland too!
Oh my God, Awesome. Heaven on Earth.
:)
I hope you do someday!
I am from Nova Scotia, and would want to live no where else. My wife and I did a brief tour Scotland, where my ancestors are from, in the early 1980's. We took the train from London, stayed in Edinburgh and saw the Tattoo, rented a car and took the ferries from Ulapool to Skye, Harris and lewis, and south Uist. It was August and lovely. But....i like it here.
I just came across this video! I’m happy you guys enjoyed it here! 😁 Nova Scotia is such an amazing province to live in ❤️I love going to Peggy’s Cove in the summer. If you guys haven’t gone to The Ovens you should next time you visit! 😁
Jon K 🙄
What amazing video! This video made me cry, because my wife and I intend to live in Halifax even this year! This is really an inspiration!
Wow, very cool! Where are you moving from?
Must Do Canada currently my wife and I we live in Brazil and we want to try something new so I'll study in Halifax. Actually we are deciding between Halifax and Kitchener (Ontario) near from Toronto, but everybody has something amazing to talk about Halifax, amazing views, the most friendly people from Canada, giant lobster! Haha
Now I'm gonna watch your other videos o/
haha Yeah, I've read a few stories of people from Brazil in Halifax or nearby New Brunswick. Was wondering as I live in the West (Alberta), which is normally known for immigration due to the oil jobs. Wondering what the jobs are like in Halifax... But yes, Toronto and Ontario is the massive area so Halifax would have more of a small-town charm. Newfoundland is also incredibly friendly. We love Halifax though and have definately considered moving there....
Must Do Canada Have you really considered moving there? Glad to hear it from you. Nowadays I live in a small City, 70k habitants here so I think I'll feel like home in Halifax. Looking forward to arrive there!
we have yeah. My dad is from Newfoundland so we always considered moving East. It's mainly hard to leave Calgary because we have the Rocky Mountains beside us. Without those, we'd be gone already haha. Yeah, in that case, Halifax will seem better. Toronto alone is like 6 million
When you come depends on what you want to do. Tourist season is late May to early October although outside of that you can risk rain easily
You missed my favourite part of Nova Scotia... The Annapolis Valley!! Great film!
Annapolis Valley is amazing
thank you for your excellent video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow its amazing
Never expected canada is so beautiful wanna visit
Please do :)
LOL we do have hot sunny Summer :)
Wow nice Canada
I live in Nova Scotia.
I love it.
Beautiful Video ❤️
Thank you :)
amazing place
Beautiful nova Scotia
I love your videos ❤
i love my province!
I'd love to explore Nova Scotia - I live in Scotland and heard (and now see) that there are a lot of similarities! Only been to BC/Alberta and Ontario before - East Coast is waiting!!!
Very cool! Nova Scotia means New Scotland from what we were told. You'd likely love Newfoundland as well, although the entire East Coast is great. I haven't been to Scotland before but hope to go someday soon! We're from Alberta so we know that province well! That video will be out in October...
+Must Do Canada we should do an exchange :) Looking forward to the Alberta video - made some amazing memories there!!
I wish i can live there!! The most beautifull place in the world!!
We agree!
You very well covered whole NS in 7 minutes :)
This is a great video, but I can assure you, you have not seen all of NS in this clip.in 7 minutes. I can promise you that. Come see for yourselves!
The people of Nova Scotia are exceptionally nice too. And their wineries! Blomidon is my favourite. They shipped me two cases to Ontario last month. Yum!
haha we've heard the wine is good!
@@MustDoCanada yes it is excellent. Before my first visit to Nova Scotia, I had no idea there were wineries there. My daughter took me to Blomidon in September 2019 and it was heavenly. I want to get back when the virus situation is all resolved. In the meantime, I have my own personal stash!
I missed Nova Scotia,i will ba back someday.
love it.
Well worth the visit. 😊
Yes it was!
It's a great place to live in too.
My husband just got back from a short visit to see the town where the "Jesse Stone" movies were made, mainly Lunenberg. He really enjoyed himself and found the people quite warm, the seafood quite amazing, and the area quite beautiful. Finances permitting, it looks like our whole family would love to go there. They should definitely fix the "Cat" though. He said the worst part of the trip was the boat ride as one engine is down and the trip took 7 hours, as opposed to the 5.5 it should take. At any rate, it appears there is plenty to do and see, and I agree that this video makes a convincing argument to go there. My first stop would be the Raft ride, WOW, how cool is that?
haha yes, the rafting is fun and I'd love to go back in August when the water is warming the rapids more intense. Was he visiting from NFLD? Is that the boat ride you're talking about?
The CAT is the ferry from Maine, it goes to Yarmouth, NS.
amazing.. very well done.
Thank you! Hope you also enjoy our other videos.
