Meet Kevin Hayward
Kevin Hayward is the owner of Hayward Travel, a Nova Scotia-based travel agency focused on river cruising, small ship cruising, luxury travel, and carefully planned travel experiences. Kevin brings genuine firsthand experience, a client-first philosophy, and decades of professional care to every trip he plans.
A Life Shaped by Travel
Travel has always been an important part of Kevin's life. His wife, Michelle, spent more than 13 years in the travel industry, and together they have escorted more than a dozen group vacations, mainly throughout Europe.
Most recently, they enjoyed a river cruise with AMA Waterways through Vietnam and Cambodia, which strengthened Kevin's passion for river cruising and small ship travel.
40 Years of Client-First Thinking
Before launching Hayward Travel, Kevin spent over 40 years in the wealth planning industry. He built his career on listening carefully, paying attention to detail, and helping clients make confident decisions. Those same values now guide his travel business.
That background means Kevin approaches every travel conversation the way a trusted advisor would — understanding your priorities, asking the right questions, and presenting options that genuinely fit your life and your budget.
Travel Philosophy
Kevin believes the best vacation is not always the cheapest one.
True value comes from finding the experience that matches the client's interests, expectations, and budget.
When you work with Kevin, the conversation starts with you — your travel style, your must-have experiences, your comfort level, and what you want to walk away remembering. From there, he builds a trip that delivers real, lasting value rather than simply the lowest advertised price.
