Tour Overview

Begin your adventure in Halifax, Nova Scotia’s historic capital and a city deeply connected to Canada’s maritime past. Explore historic sites, waterfront attractions, and landmarks that tell the story of Halifax’s role in trade, immigration, military history, and ocean travel.

Continue along the scenic coastline to Peggy’s Cove, one of Nova Scotia’s most photographed destinations. Admire the dramatic Atlantic coastline, rugged granite rocks, and the famous Peggy’s Point Lighthouse. Take time to explore the charming fishing village, enjoy the fresh coastal air, and capture unforgettable photographs.

Save time and money by combining two tours in one day trip. First of all, you'll explore this historic port city of Halifax and its notable sites, such as Pier 21 and St. Paul's Church, then it's on to the charming rural community of Peggy's Cove and its picture-perfect lighthouse. This guided tour is available in English, French, German, and Japanese and lasts about 5 hours.
