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.

2.00Driver forced me to sit all the way in the back when I had requested to seat in the front. As a minimum I should be able to sit wherever if not in front. Other than that as a tour guide did the job well
Lots to see, not much time.

5.00A great experience. Booking was easy, customer care at Viator was great and our tour operator responded promptly. Our tour guide Samuel was awesome and his vehicle was very clean and comfortable. Lunenburg is worth the drive to get too. Such a neat little town on the water. The three churches on the water at Mahone Bay were beautiful. Peggy’s Cove and lighthouse is a can’t miss while here. The drive back and forth was also amazing to see fall colors and beautiful Nova Scotia. Did I mention Samuel was amazing. Great tour guide!
