What To Expect
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse
As you leave Halifax, you'll enjoy a scenic 1:30-hour drive along the beautiful coastline of St. Margaret's Bay, from the village of Hubbards to the iconic Peggy's Cove. After arriving in Peggy's Cove, you'll have an hour to visit the world's most popular lighthouse, explore the local fishing village, and even sample some local seafood if you like! Witness the power of the ocean as waves crash against the rugged and rocky coastline. Peggy's Cove will treat you to incredibly beautiful landscapes and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
Fairview Lawn Cemetery
As you leave Peggy's Cove and head back to Halifax (1:00 hr. approximate time), your next stop will be the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, where the remains of 121 Titanic victims are interred. The tragic loss of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912, was felt all over the world, including in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Due to Nova Scotia's close proximity to the Titanic's last known position, recovery ships from Halifax were dispatched to conduct the grizzly task of recovering those who perished. Halifax is home to the largest concentration of Titanic graves in the world. As you walk through the cemetery, you'll learn about the lives of those who were lost, the details surrounding the memorial, and the heartbreaking story of the unknown child of the Titanic.

5.00My wife and I travel a lot and we have taken many different tours all over the world. Nilah was one of the most informative and engaging guides we have ever had the pleasure of touring with. She was prompt in picking us up, was super knowledgeable, and made everyone on the tour feel welcomed. Nilah said she also put in an advance request for the absolutely gorgeous weather we had out in Peggy's Cove. While I'm not fully sure if I believed her on that point, I can't overstate how great of a time we had on our tour today. Thanks!
Beautiful tour

5.00Our tour was just 4 of us plus the driver in a minivan, way better than a ship’s tour with 40+ passengers. Our driver told interesting stories, gave us history, and got us to sites before the onslaught of buses.
Beautiful Views, wonderful experience!

5.00This was an amazing experience! The ride to Peggy's Cove was easy and our guide Jeff kept us entertained. The views from the lighthouse were incredible and we definitely felt that we had enough time to take it all in AND explore the town. The Titan Cemetery was fascinating and moving. Would have like an additional 5-10 of free time there! Jeff even offered to drop those of us who wanted to explore off in the downtown area. Excellent experience all around!
