Heads Up
- 1. Ensure you have a valid passport for the international border crossing at Sarnia.
- 2. The time zone changes from Eastern to Atlantic when crossing from Quebec into New Brunswick.
- 3. Check the tide tables for Hopewell Rocks to ensure you can walk on the ocean floor.
- 4. Avoid Highway 407 in Ontario unless you have a transponder, as it is an expensive toll road.
- 5. Day 2: 5h 10m driving — plan rest stops
