00:00Seven days ago, 50 strangers arrived in Canada during the first leg of Fantasy RV Tour's Maritime Tour.
00:10And now, a quarter of the way into their month-long pilgrimage across four Atlantic provinces,
00:17these RVers have gone from timid travelers just towing the line,
00:21to a roving tribe of compatible adventurers and fellow food lovers
00:26riding the Atlantic breeze together toward their next East Coast encounter.
00:42First-time visitors, Aaron and Chris, have now been properly seasoned by the region's signature salty mist,
00:48nearly swallowed up by its living tides,
00:51and have come to accept that lobster can easily be had here for just about every meal.
00:58They've witnessed loads of surprises so far,
01:01and rather than risk missing out on any of these highlights,
01:04the couple made sure to make the most out of every marine-themed mile
01:09by embracing Fantasy's expertise along these coastal shores.
01:21We'll see you next time.
01:47Music
01:47We'll have up to 50 different guests, and all 50 of those people are all going to have
02:02a different experience on the tour.
02:05So that's part of what we do is making sure that everybody is included, everybody's having
02:12a good time.
02:13For some, it's super easy because they're going to jump in, and they want to be the star
02:16and have everybody flock to them.
02:19Others, they're a little bit more timid, a little bit more shy, and it takes more to
02:23open them up.
02:24But they do, and by the end, everybody is at their comfort level with everybody else.
02:30A lot of people, you can really watch guests really blossom along the tour.
02:36Yeah, that's what I really love to see is how everybody is a stranger, and by the end,
02:43they've all come together, and they're exchanging phone numbers and emails and addresses and
02:50that so that they can get together again in the future.
02:55Beginning with the forgotten corners of New Brunswick, the tour started off soft-spoken
03:00and soaked in history.
03:02The roads were quiet, the forests deep, and the occasional ghost story added to its mysterious
03:09setting.
03:09Now, as RVs roll across an invisible border into Nova Scotia, leaving fog-draped mornings
03:16in the rear view, the mist burns off to reveal a province that simply can't hide in the shadows.
03:22With over 8,000 miles of coastline, this sea-bound peninsula doesn't just whisper its secrets.
03:39It sings them aloud, turning the energy way up as it leans a little further into the sea.
03:46Immediately, the journey shifts from introspective to electric, with towns that display their
03:53history like vibrant tattoos full of pigment and pride, a waterfront that dances with tall
03:59ships, and the scenic road that suddenly hums to a different kind of tune.
04:04It's clear, we came here to celebrate.
04:08The RVers is made possible by Jackery Solar Generator, your green power solution.
04:30Your dream RV trip awaits.
04:33Call Fantasy RV Tours today.
04:36The RVers is made possible by...
04:38Now you see it.
04:41Now you don't.
04:44Segway.
04:45With fantasy-branded rigs all situated at their latest oceanfront campground, the festivities
04:59begin just steps away from the sparkling Bay of Fundy, whose tides now feed a different kind
05:06of shoreline.
05:07Here, the coast is a shaky scribble of tightly-notched harbors and bays in which every sunset is a private
05:15screening.
05:16It's no wonder this haven is home to what's said to be the most fought-over piece of land
05:21in all of North America.
05:24From indigenous roots to French settlers and English invaders, the tour arranges an opportunity
05:31to travel back four centuries at several historic sites, including the Citadel, where kilted highlanders
05:38patrol the grounds like it's still the 1860s.
05:42Fort Royal, a full-scale reconstruction of a 17th-century colony, and Fort Anne, a sturdy
05:53stronghold maintained to showcase military architecture and recount the cultural significance
05:59of ancient battles that took place over this prime land.
06:05Time unravels, passing through timbered rooms and storehouses where the smell of gunpowder
06:11still lingers to ignite the imagination.
06:14Rolling green earthworks display cannons like old soldiers still guarding the now peaceful waterfront.
06:21And the sea air pairs well with freshly-baked strudel and crusty sourdough from a nearby local bakery.
06:33Following this stroll through history, it's a short drive from calm colonial ruins to a buzzing
06:39bohemian harbor as the tour sails south, bringing guests face-to-face with the soul of this province.
06:46A time capsule of candy-colored heritage homes collide with a modern-day fishing community
06:52that has shipbuilding excellence ingrained into every wooden vessel.
06:57In particular, the iconic Blue Nose, a timeless legend detailed at the Fisheries Museum
07:03located just a bit further along the wharf.
07:06So, on a fantasy tour, we build in free time at every location, and I think that's important
07:17because at the end of the day, this is your vacation, and we want you to do what you want
07:24to do on your vacation.
07:26Of course, we're going to have planned events and activities.
07:29Everybody needs some time to rest.
07:31Go out and maybe spend a few more hours at a location we were at.
07:36Once we have gotten you an admission somewhere, typically that admission is good for the rest
07:41of the day, and often the very next day, too.
07:44So, when you have free time, you can go back and enjoy yourselves even more.
07:51Craig and Lucinda are the perfect example of independent travelers who take full advantage
07:56of fantasy's flexible approach, welcoming structure when it's wanted, and spontaneity
08:02when the spirit of adventure strikes.
08:05The independence is probably one of the most important aspects to me.
08:10So, being able to go off and find the landscapes or landmarks or other people on my own or on our own,
08:20we find that to be probably one of the most enjoyable aspects, because they give you days
08:27where you can spend the whole day doing it, or if you just need to recharge.
08:32You know, that day can be used for the two of you doing whatever you want, whether it be laundry
08:38or going out and eating at restaurants you want.
08:41They don't tell you where to go eat or what to do.
08:43They give you a list of some of the locals, or you can experience them on your own.
08:47Just stop in, and I would say that we've always seen the best parts of these communities
08:54by doing it this way versus flying over them and getting with another large group of people
09:01that you never really get to know.
09:04While the fantasy itinerary fills its days full to the brim with local flavors and behind-the-scene gems,
09:11the finest beauty can be found in the freedom.
09:14Many suggestions are optional and give RVers the choice to chase their curiosity by circling
09:20back to a special lobster shack, browsing a nearby farmer's market, or returning to that
09:26one lighthouse that's on every maritime traveler's map of must-sees.
09:31What I remember was going back to Peggy's Cove. The weather was terrible. It was fogged in when
09:37we went with a tour group, but we went back on our own to Peggy's Cove, and at sunset, or near sunset,
09:45and the crowd was basically gone. It was all beautiful pictures and just memories that you burned
09:54into your brain because you did it on your own and didn't give up on it.
10:02The RVers is made possible by RV and Go. Where will you go?
10:10Escapee's RV Club, a support network for all RVers.
10:14After a series of weathered waterfront harbors, the city of Halifax makes a big impact. And while it's
10:38actually Nova Scotia's smallest region, the capital is a vibrant mix of culture, landmarks,
10:44and numerous attractions where one minute you might be exploring interactive exhibits.
10:53And the next, you're elbows deep in fried headache. So rather than winging it along these busy narrow
11:00streets, the fantasy crew swaps their RV keys for a bus tour to fully navigate the city's complicated
11:07charm.
11:11The tour bus that we're on is really fun. It's something we've never done before,
11:16and it's cool to just be on a massive bus with these great big windows. You can see everything
11:24outside from the comfortability of inside. And best yet is I don't have to drive. So that's great.
11:31And our tour guide is sharing things that we would never ever know or look up just regarding
11:37the history of the city, fun facts about the city, people coming to visit, some things about the
11:43architecture of the homes. There's some really impressive hotels that we've seen. And it's
11:49something that, like I said, we've never done, but so far I'm really enjoying it.
11:52From a hilltop fortress to quiet rows of gravestones, along with museums where stories of heroism are
12:02bottled in glass cases and suspended holes, guests absorb the sights while taking the opportunity to
12:10make mental notes of stops to revisit. As each outing complements the next, an effortless flow between
12:18experiences may seem natural, but it's deliberately designed by the team's skillful balance of information
12:25with entertainment, all bundled into an immersive one-of-a-kind backstage pass.
12:31So we've done a few excursions that we've had that are exclusive to fantasy RV tours. We get behind
12:42the scenes tours in a lot of the museums. I was going to mention the Atlantic Fisheries Museum
12:50there and the Maritime Museum. Those are both behind the scenes guided tours that you're not going to
12:55get if you go there on your own. It's all in the package.
13:07While this area is made for wandering boardwalks and beaches,
13:11maritime weather is something of a wild card, flip-flopping between soaking up sunshine and
13:17sprinting for cover. Luckily, when a rogue rainstorm sabotages any sightseeing for the day,
13:24fantasy flips the script by cranking up the competition with a spirited tournament of card
13:29games and root beer floats to fuel the fun.
13:32The number four of spades.
13:42Four of spades.
13:46One, two, or three.
13:52Another three. Another three.
13:54Wow. How about that?
13:56Twice in a row. What can I say?
13:58Wow. That's some love there.
14:00Thank you. You're welcome.
14:02The wagon masters have been excellent on this trip, no doubt about it, and the tail gunners as well.
14:08They're very personable and friendly.
14:10I believe it's an anniversary today.
14:12I believe it's an anniversary today.
14:14Woo!
14:16It's actually tomorrow, but we're all together today. So, one, two, three.
14:22Happy anniversary to you. Happy anniversary to you. Happy anniversary to you.
14:28Happy anniversary to you. Happy anniversary to you.
14:32The excitement that they show is unbelievable because they've done this many, many times,
14:46and you would think it would be boring, but it's not to them.
14:48Just your friendly neighborhood bartender.
14:50The RVers is made possible by...
15:00RV and Go. Where will you go?
15:04Your dream RV trip awaits.
15:08Call Fantasy RV Tours today.
15:10The RVers is made possible by...
15:12Now you see it.
15:14Now you don't.
15:18The Aviators, the world's biggest aviation series.
15:26So, as a wagon master, you're responsible for the overall tour.
15:30But you're really...
15:32Really, a wagon master's job is to coordinate with all of their guests
15:38and make sure all the guests have a great time.
15:40Now, of course, there's planning and coordinating that's going on behind the scenes,
15:44but you were there just as a leader to bring everybody together.
15:48What's really amazing is when we do tours and we have repeat guests
15:54that have been on a tour with us before, and yeah, we just love it.
15:58Certainly, there's freedom in the open road.
16:12But there's also comfort in knowing that you have all of the support when it's needed,
16:16and none of the stress about getting lost or booking a suspicious place to spend the night.
16:22Leave it to a trustworthy team to reserve the sweetest spots and scout out all of the routes
16:28to determine which RV parks are magic and which detours are dead ends.
16:34As these phenomenal forces at work spend significant time getting to know each location
16:40in order to make a place we've never been before feel both familiar and brand new at the same time.
16:54I've had a lot of guests tell me that they really appreciate the fact that they're traveling in a group.
17:02Our viewers always tend to be friendly, but when you're on a fantasy tour
17:06and we're helping to facilitate that bonding, one of the things that people have said is it's nice.
17:13So if somebody needs an extra extension of hose to dump or a cord to plug into electricity or whatever,
17:23then they know that somebody in the group is willing to help with that.
17:29They like being able to travel together.
17:32So we are in the lead, so if there's a new road hazard that we haven't already briefed,
17:39then we can relay that back to the group so they're expecting it and can avoid it.
17:44And then the tail gunner is leaving last and ensuring that everybody makes it safely to the next campground.
17:52If something happens on our journey from campground to campground, because life happens and sometimes things break,
18:04they're going to come up behind you and they're going to help you find the solution to get you back on the road again.
18:10And it's in a critical role on a fantasy tour.
18:15That's mainly the reason I think we decided to do that.
18:19And I'm glad we did it because we traveled a lot on our own.
18:23But going out of the country, so to speak, through Canada and all, we felt like we'd be better to go in a group.
18:30We felt safer about it, you know.
18:33And you feel very safe in these campgrounds that fantasy chooses.
18:40And they try to make them the best that there are in the area.
18:44Very well organized and an easy, convenient way to have a wonderful trip without having to worry about very much.
18:53I mean, you could have a situation where something might go wrong, but you're with a bunch of people that usually you can find a way to bush fix it and get going, you know.
19:04And that's the nice thing about being in a team environment.
19:07You've got all types of talents of different people.
19:12By now, the talents on this trip have established a solid rhythm as a group that keeps the good times on tap
19:19and encourages everyone to share in each other's enthusiasm.
19:24Having spent a week exploring what felt like the edge of the world,
19:28these companions have found themselves captivated by colors and cobblestone charm strolling through this living museum.
19:36Nevertheless, the road continues to call from across the waves.
19:40Next, maritime RVers board a ferry that pulls them along the Atlantic,
19:46leaving behind the vivid dream of painted towns melting into the horizon.
19:51And for good reason, Newfoundland is wide awake and waiting.
