Which ones do you agree with and which one are you ready to fight us on? 😬

We’ve spent 4+ years exploring Atlantic Canada together and 3+ years creating content, and people always ask us which province is the best to visit.

Honestly it depends on what you’re looking for.

These are our honest rankings from personal and lived experiences here 😅

Do you agree with these rankings? Let us know in the comments!

We loved exploring the South Coast of Newfoundland and can’t wait to go back ❤️

Follow @roving.mapletales if you want to know more hidden gems to visit in Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦🦞

A lil fact about the place ⬇️
Rencontre East is one of the most isolated communities in Newfoundland with a population of just 115 people. There are no paved roads, no cars allowed on the ferry, and the nearest hospital is a 90-min boat ride away. Their motto says it all - “Isolated and Loving It”

How to get there ⬇️
⛴️ Take a ferry from Bay L’Argent - it runs daily except Wednesday, and it’s the only way in and out. You cannot take your car on the ferry. Once you’re there, get around by ATV or just explore by walk.

⚠️ We did a day trip from Bay L’Argent to Rencontre East. Day trips are only possible on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday until Oct 15th and the ferry schedule changes after that. So check the latest schedule before you plan your visit.

Things to do ⬇️
📍Boat tour on Rencontre Lake with a local operator ($50 per person)
📍Hike the boardwalk trail to Rencontre Lake 👉download @alltrails map for the route
📍Visit the abandoned molybdenum mine site on the lake (during your boat tour)
📍Explore the community (cafe, grocery store, colourful dock)
📍Hike the Dowding’s Pond Boardwalk Trail

Where to eat ⬇️
📍Baby Moo’s cafe (the only cafe in town)
📍DD’s Takeout

➡️ Send this to someone you’d want to explore Rencontre East with, and follow us for more content like this!

‼️ There’s no/limited cell reception in the area, so download your maps before you visit. We almost got lost during the hike 😬 everything looked the same with no paved paths to guide you lol. We somehow made it back to town on pure memory, just in time to catch our ferry 🤭

‼️ Remember to keep the trails and beaches pristine by following Leave No Trace

Have you ever heard of this Fall destination in Canada? 🇨🇦🍁

Follow @roving.mapletales if you want to know more unique spots to visit this Fall across Atlantic Canada 🦞

This island is probably not on your Fall bucket list but should be!!

📍Miscou Island in New Brunswick 🇨🇦 turns crimson every Fall due to its unique peat bogs. It’s 3.5 hours from Moncton but totally worth the drive.

⚠️ ALWAYS stay on the boardwalk and avoid stepping off for photos because these are fragile wetland ecosystems.

➡️ Share this with someone who would love visiting this island in the Fall ❤️

‼️ Remember to keep the trails pristine by following Leave No Trace.

Everything you need to know before visiting the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula (aka Vinland)👇

A lil historical fact about the place ⬇️
If you’re wondering, this is the place where the Norse explorer Leif Erikson and his crew sailed from Greenland and set up a camp 1000 years ago, on land that Indigenous people had been living on for a long time before people from Europe arrived.

📍Norstead Viking Village (a recreated village next door with the Snorri ship)
📍St. Anthony and St. Lunaire-Griquet during iceberg
season
📍Quirpon Island
📍Goose Cove

Activities not to miss ⬇️

📍Guided tour operated by Parks Canada at the L’Anse aux Meadows Historic Site

Where to eat ⬇️

📍Café Nymphe

Posted @withregram • @roving.mapletales This ‘just a waterfall’ is actually a stunning hidden gem in Nova Scotia! Save this reel if you want to visit this waterfall in NS 👇

✨ Follow @roving.mapletales for more epic hike recommendations on the East Coast 🇨🇦 as we keep exploring 🦞

Drysdale Falls is only 1.5 hours from Halifax and it’s honestly one of the prettiest waterfalls we’ve seen. Though it’s a short hike, the trail can be a challenge. Fallen trees and bushwhacking await, but the payoff is so worth it 💚

🌲Trail Name: Drysdale Falls
📍Location: Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia (1.5 hours from Halifax)
↔️ Hike Distance: 1.5 km (easy trail but expect bushwhacking)
⌚️ Hike Duration: 15 mins

❗️Please stay off the private property by following along the brook to the falls. Let’s keep our hidden gems pristine - remember to Leave No Trace. Happy Hiking 🥾
