Pedal and Sea Adventures is a small— but mighty!— company run by one of Nova Scotias most experienced adventurers. Dana Gallant has been organizing bike tours in Atlantic Canada since the early 1990s at which time he established Pedal and Sea Adventures. Dana wanted to share one of the world's best places with travelers in need of a little RR.... Riding and relaxation, that is!
It began with Nova Scotia, the Canadian province where Dana has decided to hang his cycling helmet, even though he could run his bike tours from any number of exotic locales. But Dana likes living there. And when he established Pedal and Sea Adventures, Nova Scotia is the place he first wanted to show people.
Pedal and Sea Adventures has grown from humble beginnings to become an international concern.
It's the personal touch. Dana and his staff are overflowing with courtesy, respect and friendliness. Their personable guides treat people as they would like to be treated. You're on vacation, after all!

A 7-day self guided cycling tour through Nova Scotia
You will wind your way through several lovely towns, including Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You'll never be far from the Atlantic Ocean, still plied by fisherman in brightly-painted wooden dories, working the nets just as their forebears have for generations. And then you will make your way over to the Evangeline Trail and Annapolis Royal, the town that marks France's formal colonization of Canada. Amazingly, Samuel de Champlain and Sieur de Monts would find that little has changed on the coastline they explored and settled more than 400 years ago

A 6-day cycling tour through Anne of Green Gables country
Let Pedal & Sea Adventures show you one of Canada's national treasures, our tiniest province known to many as the setting for Anne of Green Gables. Prince Edward Island is affectionately known as The Million Acre Farm, and our route will have you cycling through a riot of color: verdant pastures that stretch out to scarlet cliffs which drop into azure waters .And it won't matter if you're not the most proficient photographer; in PEI, it's almost impossible to take a bad shot. As with every Pedal & Sea Adventure, we'll be spending every night at a fabulous country inn, and we'll feast on all the famously fresh Prince Edward Island foods: potatoes, strawberries, and - of course - lots of fresh seafood! We'll taste the best that the island has to offer, and that's saying something.

A 7-day cycling tour along Italy's sunny Adriatic coastline
We love venturing off the beaten path... discovering ancient footpaths and isolated villages, seeing the Italy Hannibal knew, and tasting truly authentic food. This is the Puglia that awaits modern-day adventurers.
Puglia, possibly Italy's least familiar region, is now being touted as the next Tuscany. This is an ancient world, and the hills and small coastal towns are steeped in history. Located on the Eastern Coast, deep in the heartland of Greek mythology, Apulia does have a distinctly Greek feel, but its ruins also feature Gothic and Byzantine architecture, among others. What better way to explore this mysterious region of olive groves and emerald waters than by bike? You'll cycle past castles both small and grand, and old stone trullo dwellings. You'll swim in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and view the Strait of Otranto. You'll sleep in ancient masserias' fortified country homes renovated into elegant inns - and explore cities whose histories stretch back thousands of years. You may even imagine you're no longer in Italy at all, but instead in some bewitching fairy tale.
