DMC Experts in Canada’s Ocean Playground


Let’s create your ultimate group experience

Steeped in centuries-old British, Gaelic, French and Scottish traditions, Atlantic Canada consists of picturesque islands and lighthouse-studded peninsulas. Among the rocky coasts and remote mountains lie the maritime museums and outdoor adventures of spirited Nova Scotia. Your group will kayak around the famous “flowerpot rocks” of New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy or enjoy the city’s unrivaled whale watching. Prince Edward Island provides an ocean bounty of fresh-caught seafood along with a passion for woodworking and artisanship.

Our clients say it best

“Downeast delivered their promise to us: To stick by our side from proposal to program planning to execution. They picked up pieces that we left off, covered for my team when we couldn’t be there, planned for things I couldn’t have expected and found solutions to problems I wouldn’t have been able to solve. They are the kind of partner we strive to be to our clients.”
