New Brunswick is most often the first Atlantic Canada province entered by visitors. It is perhaps the most complex, subtle and difficult to get a handle on of the four. With Newfoundland and PEI being islands, and Nova Scotia almost surrounded by water, the others have each a sharply defined marine image.

New Brunswick, however, is made up of many faces, and a bit more difficult to define. Being next door to the well known appeals of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island has made the province a bit overshadowed. It has, however, been left a beautiful, unspoiled place to be explored.

It has, so far, not been overrun by tourists. This means for visitors a genuine experience, both of the people you will meet and places you visit. The villages are real and active, not maintained for tourism purposes

 

New Brunswick is the sole province of Atlantic Canada firmly rooted as part of the North American continent. It is the only one of the four with any size of bikeable interior. Water, however, is even here a factor, as a great deal it is focused around the Saint John River.
