Most would probably drive, using interstate 95 to the Canadian border at Woodstock, New Brunswick, then NB highway 2 to the Nova Scotia border. Alternatively, you can take Maine highway 9 from Bangor, or coastal highway 1, to the Canadian border at St. Stephen NB, then NB highway 1 via Saint John toward NS. The I95 route is longer by distance but a bit shorter time-wise. There's also a ferry from Saint John to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. (There were ferries that travelled from Portland and Bar Harbor ME to Yarmouth NS but these are not currently operating. There's still hope a ME-NS ferry service will be reinstated.) There are not currently any direct flights from Maine to NS. The nearest US airport with direct flights to Halifax is Boston.
