What To Expect
Lunenburg
Your day begins with a convenient pickup from the Halifax Cruise Terminal, your hotel, or another central location in Halifax. Your licensed driver-guide will warmly welcome you and share engaging stories about Nova Scotia's history, culture, and natural beauty as you set off on your journey. The first destination is Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located approximately 1 hour 15 minutes (95 km/59 miles) from Halifax. Upon arrival, you’ll spend 1 hour exploring the colorful streets and charming waterfront. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, learn about Lunenburg’s shipbuilding heritage, and, if time permits, catch a glimpse of the iconic Bluenose II schooner (if docked).
Mahone Bay
Next, you’ll take a 15-minute drive (11 km/7 miles) to Mahone Bay, a quaint coastal town known for its scenic beauty and the iconic three waterfront churches. Here, you’ll spend 30 minutes enjoying the tranquil views, capturing photos, and exploring the artisan shops and cafes that give this village its charm.

5.00Ziyan, who works with his father—the owner of the company—was our guide for the day. He was friendly and provided helpful information at each stop along the way. We were picked up in a grey Kia Sedona van. While it wasn't quite the luxury vehicle we had expected, it was comfortable and perfectly fine for our group of six. The tour involved a fair amount of driving, but that's simply due to the distance between the attractions—not a reflection on the guide. The stops themselves offered beautiful scenery and were well worth the trip. Ziyan made sure we returned to the cruise port with plenty of time to spare, which we really appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would recommend this tour to others
