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