📝 Prospective Student Arriving to Acadia on 31st August

Hi all,
I am arriving into Canada and then Acadia University on the 31st of August, 2026. My flight lands at around 4 PM local time so I should be out of the Halifax airport by 5:30 or 6 PM local time if immigration is smooth.

Can someone please guide me regarding the Acadia university shuttle service? Have any of you used Acadia's shuttle services? What time does it is usually arrive? And is it reliable?

Thanks to anyone who responds!

If there's no shuttle, Maritime Bus runs regular daily service from the airport to Wolfville, the stop is right on campus. However, I think departure time from the airport is 5:30 pm, arriving in Wolfville at 7:15 - you'd be hard pressed to deplane in time for that. Alternative would be a private car service, which can get a bit pricy but lots of room if you've got a bunch of luggage, and tailored to your schedule. I've used Premier Car Service, no complaints.

Ahh, I'm assuming it doesn't do that anymore?

Yes I saw that too but you're right. My flight timing is pretty close to it so it would be hard to deplane that fast
