TOUR SUMMARY

Coastal Wonders, Acadian Culture & Local Flavours

Discover the spectacular coastlines, rich cultures, and distinctive flavours of New Brunswick and Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula on this fascinating journey through Canada’s East Coast. You’ll experience the mighty tides of the Bay of Fundy, walk on the ocean floor among the flowerpot rocks at Hopewell Rocks, and savour local lobster, maple treats, whisky, and Acadian-inspired cuisine along the way. Explore the colourful Acadian Coast with local guides, step into the past at Fort La Tour and Village
Historique Acadien, and experience the music and storytelling of a traditional Miramichi Kitchen Party. Travel the scenic Gaspé coast to Percé, where you’ll cruise around magnificent Percé Rock and explore Bonaventure Island, home to North America’s largest northern gannet colony. From Indigenous history and maritime heritage to charming coastal communities and memorable culinary experiences, this journey offers an engaging and leisurely exploration of two remarkable regions of Eastern Canada.

ACTIVITY LEVEL

Level

Level

Moderate Activity: As a traveller you like a variety of activities and walking up to 2 km with breaks such as a guided walking tour is very doable for you without assistance. You can stand for prolonged periods, negotiate a variety of terrain including moderate hills comfortably, and can climb two flights of stairs without assistance. At airports, you must handle your own luggage and often walk long distances. Luggage service is not available at two hotels and possibly others, so you will need to handle your own luggage at these hotels. The amount of walking at Village Historique Acadien is up to you, but seeing the entire site is just over 2km of walking. On Bonaventure Island, all walking is on trails of varying degrees of difficulty and length, and any walking is optional.

You may bring a cane or walking poles if needed. This tour is not appropriate for people who require the use of a walker. The coaches cannot carry a scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not able to keep up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour. In extreme situations, you may be required to leave the tour and travel home at your own expense; travel insurance will probably not cover you.

TOUR NOTES & POLICIES

  • Please book early: The Maritimes are a very popular summer destination. Some hotels have strict policies about our commitment to the number of rooms needed and will cancel rooms from our original reservation if they can sell the rooms to other visitors. If this happens, we have to consider the tour full, even though seats are available on the motorcoach. Therefore, waiting too long to book usually means “Sorry, wait until another year.”

  • Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final payment if you have a food allergy. This tour goes to some remote places where restaurants may not be able to satisfy all food allergies. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not. For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to serve.

  • Flight seating: We are unable to take seating requests of any kind in any class. The airline will not accept them, as group seating is assigned as a block. If this is important to you, we suggest you take the “No Flight” option with a fare reduction of $1,500 and book your own flight which allows seat selection. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information on the “No Flight” option.

  • Flight upgrades: Please enquire about current prices for upgrades on the flights to Saint John and return from Fredericton. Business class may be available.

  • Flight delays or cancellations: In the event flights are delayed or cancelled by airlines due to weather or other reasons, there may be additional costs to you. Wells Gray Tours will not pay for hotel rooms and meals during the delay. Most travel insurance policies cover expenses incurred for flight delays.

  • Payments: A deposit of $800 per person is requested at the time of booking and balance is due April 27, 2027. By paying the deposit, you agree to the Terms and Conditions, Company Policies, Activity Level, and Cancellation Policy outlined. Payments can be made by online banking or cheque (3% discount on tour fare), or by Visa or Mastercard.

  • Early Booking Bonus: Receive a $300 discount on the first 10 seats and $150 on the next 6 seats for booking early with deposit. The discount is not offered after April 27, 2027.

  • Cancellation Policy: • Up to March 25, 2027 the cancellation charge is $100 per person. • From March 26 to April 27, the cancellation charge is $300 per person. • From April 28 to May 27, the cancellation charge is 60% of the tour fare. • After May 27, there is no refund.

  • Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is provided by battleface®. Policies purchased at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for medical and cancellation claims, otherwise policies can be purchased no later than at final payment. This tour stays in Canada, but medical costs can vary a lot from one province to another. While your BC Services Card may partly cover you for a medical issue that arises during the tour, you will probably benefit from trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage in case of illness or a mishap before or during the tour. Many other benefits such as luggage insurance are included. Medical questionnaire is not needed. Please contact us for details. If you have your own travel insurance, please read the policy carefully to be sure that you are adequately covered for medical, cancellation, interruption, and luggage. Insurance premiums are not refundable whether or not you make a claim.
