Private Guided Tour: Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg & Ovens
Overview
Embark on a breathtaking 8-hour guided journey along Nova Scotia’s South Shore—featuring iconic landmarks, coastal beauty, and UNESCO heritage, all in one day from Halifax.
Adventure begins with a scenic drive to the world-renowned Peggy’s Cove, where you’ll visit the most photographed lighthouse in Canada.
Just minutes away, we make a stop at the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, a serene and meaningful tribute to the lives lost in the 1998 crash.
Next, we head toward the charming coastal town of Mahone Bay, famous for its postcard-perfect scene of three waterfront churches.
From there, we continue to Lunenburg, a vibrant UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its colorful historic buildings, rich shipbuilding heritage, and the famous Bluenose II.
Final destination is the dramatic Ovens Natural Park, where sea caves thunder beneath the cliffs.
After exploring the park, we’ll drive to Halifax.
