Heading to the maritimes in October. Wanting to go to Halifax, Fredricton, maybe Mocton, Bay of Fundy, Cape Brenton and PEI. Renting a car must be in Gagetown for the 12th .... any suggestions on travel routes or must sees/eats or stays while I’m there. Going for about 7-10 days. Is this to much? Leaving around the 8th. TIA

You’ll never see all they have to offer in 12 days.
St Andrews by the Sea in the Southwest corner of New Brunswick is a must visit. Most tourist attractions will be closed during this time of year across the maritimes.

Plan to do a lot of driving and go to grocery stores to stock up on picnic foods in case u can’t find a restaurant. Yes, it’s very rural outside of towns.
Arriving in NS? A night or two in Halifax-Citadel Hill, brew pubs.
Like the ocean? Peggy’s Cove is a must, then to Lunenberg and Mahone Bay and stay the night. Then head to Annapolis Royal for a night, also very charming. Hit the hwy and head to Cape Breton for more driving and spectacular views, fall colour. Stay one night on the Cape, maybe two. Next PEI, Cavendish Beach is beautiful with Charlottetown as a base for one night maybe two at most. Then NB, and I can’t speak to it. Lmk if ?

So awesome! Thank you! I’ll be going solo to visit my son and to travel a bit. Good to know about buying food.

Alia in Halifax, Spring Garden Rd is a social hub(restaurants, shops)with a lovely Public Garden at the end.

Where are you flying into and out of? Assuming they're different that would make things easier. I'd likely go Halifax to Cape Bretton. Cape Bretton to Digby, ferry to Saint John and then Fredericton unless something's really pulling you to Moncton.

I was looking into flying into Halifax then out of Fredricton .... or vise versa ... I have to be in Gagetown on the 12 for my sons graduation from military training right smack in the middle of my time.
lol typical.

Alia dont forget lots of music during your dates in CB.
