This tour combines pretty seascapes and busy cityscapes, promising a memorable day in Nova Scotia.
Enjoy a scenic drive past the beautiful scenery and colorful houses of the Lighthouse Route. This coast is famous for its history of pirates, shipwrecks, and rum-running, its newer lighthouse route designation, and its eternally fabulous sunsets.
Your destination is Peggy's Cove — an artists' and explorers' paradise for more than 150 years. This picture-postcard village on the rugged Atlantic shoreline stands on solid rock above the crashing surf. You will have time in Peggy's Cove to purchase lunch (at your own expense) and take photos of the lighthouse that is the village's 21st-century raison d'être.
Relax on the return drive to bustling Halifax. You'll leave the coach at the city's Victorian Public Gardens. A guided walk complements time at the gardens through this 16-acre oasis in the heart of town.
A panoramic drive takes you around Citadel Hill, where the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site is located. The drive and the hilltop site offer wonderful views of Halifax's skyline and harbor.
Notes:
The time at Peggy's Cove is unguided; you are free to explore on your own; visitors are asked to stay off the rocks and away from the shoreline. Terrain includes gravel pathways, paved areas, wooden decking, cement sidewalks, inclines, steps and rocky areas. Wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Bring a warm sweater; bring an umbrella and a rain jacket. Lunch is not included. You will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour. Minimum age is 1 year.
