About the Site

Hi, I’m Erin, a newcomer-turned-local here in Nova Scotia. When my family and I moved to the province a few years ago, we made it our mission to uncover everything this beautiful place has to offer. From scenic hikes to quirky roadside stops, we’re always on the lookout for unique experiences and hidden gems. Along the way, we’ve discovered incredible places, learned a ton about Nova Scotia’s rich culture and history, and embraced every adventure.

With Nova Scotia Bucketlist, I’m excited to share these experiences with you. Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable road trip, a family-friendly hike, or just something a little different to explore, you’ll find practical tips and insider insights here. It’s all about making the most of this amazing place and helping you experience it like a local.

Fall in Nova Scotia

Fall in Nova Scotia is crisp, colourful and such a great time to explore the province. As the temperature cools, the leaves change and the crowds start to thin out, making it an ideal season for a quieter getaway.

It’s the season for cozy layers and weekend drives through back roads lined with red and gold. Head out to see fall colours in the Annapolis Valley or Cape Breton, where the scenery is especially stunning this time of year.

And there are plenty of other ways to make the most of the season—like apple picking at local orchards, visiting a pumpkin patch, or joining one of the ghost tours around Nova Scotia that bring spooky stories to life in historic towns.
