Today you will experience two of Canada’s coolest sights: the tidal bore in Truro and the Confederation Bridge that connects Prince Edward Island to mainland Canada via New Brunswick.

Leaving from Oak Island, you’ll drive northeast to your ultimate destination of Charlottetown. On the way, discover the town of Truro, located on the Salmon River, and see how the power of the incoming Bay of Fundy tides creates a tidal bore – a phenomenon where the tide reverses the natural flow of a river.
