Lunenburg
The tour starts in downtown Halifax with a 1.5 hour (approximate) drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg, considered the finest known example of a British Colonial Era settlement in North America. Settled in 1753, Lunenburg is the second oldest British colony in Canada and home to the world famous tall ship, Bluenose II. Strolling through the streets of Lunenburg will take you back to an era long ago, when most of the inhabitants made their livelihood from the bounty of the sea and home to some of the finest seafood in Canada. See for yourself why this small charming town is one of the most endearing of its kind. You'll have 2:30 hrs. (approximate) to explore the Lunenburg at your leisure and have lunch at one of the town's seafood restaurants.
Peggy's Cove
After you leave Lunenburg, you'll be on your way to Peggy's Cove, home to one of the most famous light houses in the world and Nova Scotia's most iconic landmarks. The scenic drive to Peggy's Cove will take 1:30 hrs. (approximate). The rugged and captivating landscape is awe inspiring for those who have never witnessed the power of the sea, as waves crash along the coastline. You'll have 1 hr. (approximate) to explore the cove's fishing village, browse some of the area's small quaint shops, and take some amazing photographs that you'll cherish for years to come. The tour concludes with your stop in Peggy's Cove and you will return to Halifax 1 hr. (approximate) later.

Excellent day out. Collection from our hotel in Halifax, on time and then on to Lunenburg. A lovely and picturesque small, historic town, which is a must if you are visiting Nova Scotia and after spending some time there, it was on to Peggy's Cove, to see the world's most photographed lighthouse. Some great scenery en route and our driver, Ron, was really friendly and knowledgeable. We even saw a sea eagle, which was a bonus. Definitely recommend this one !
