Join us as we explore the heritage of the Lighthouse Route and learn the stories behind Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg, when and why they were settled, the history of the fishery, and the natural history of the Atlantic Coast...

Discover the connections between coastline, geology, landscapes, climate, and natural resources that have sustained these communities for some 250 years -- the shipbuilding and fishery: the gold rush of the 1800s: the aquaculture and Christmas tree farming. Learn about the “who-what-when-why-and-where” of settlements by foreign Protestants, the economic contrasts between the in-shore fishery of Peggy’s Cove and the off-shore fishery of Lunenburg, the local architecture, the triumphs and tragedies of wooden ships and iron men. Explore at your own pace or join our complimentary walking tour of Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg`s UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Peggy’s cove stands out!

    Our favorite stop was Peggy’s Cove. What an amazing location. We had plenty of time to walk around and explore. The lighthouse and rocky coast were spectacular. Lunenburg was just a short stop for us and we could have used a bit more time to explore. The vehicle was ok but in the third row the ladies could not see much and one seatbelt was missing. Having a private tour was nice as we got to the locations a bit before all the huge cruise ship buses.

  • Very pleasant experience

    Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. She spaced all the attractions based on our interests and allotted enough time to explore. Smooth ride.

    We booked this tour with high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite deliver. The car provided was much too small for our group, which made the ride uncomfortable. Our guide was polite but very quiet, offering very little commentary along the way. We were hoping for more insights, history, and local knowledge to make the experience special, but it felt more like just a ride from one place to another. That said, the tour did run on time and the sites themselves were beautiful, which is why I’m not leaving a 1-star review. With a larger, more comfortable vehicle and a guide who is more engaging, this could have been a much better experience.

  • Lunenberg Mahoney spectacular.

    John was outstanding. My husband didn't feel well a third of the way through. John was understanding and drove us back to ship. He's not only a wonderful person He's extremely knowledgeable and well prepared.
