From the moment you leave the pier, your guide will point out interesting sites and vistas en route to Peggy's Cove. Here, you will see for yourself the impressive rock formations and coastal beauty of this rustic, working fishing village. At the lighthouse -- perhaps the most-photographed building in Canada -- take spectacular photos of the building against the surrounding rock. Take advantage of some free time to explore on your own the galleries and shops of Peggy's Cove. Take photos, talk to the locals, or try the famous (and fabulous!) local gingerbread.
Back at the pier, hop on a double-decker bus to discover the city of Halifax. The entire double-decker bus fleet is at your service, and your ticket is good all day. You have the flexibility to hop on and off at the many attractions along the route, such as the Titanic cemetery, the Citadel National Historic Site and the Victorian Public Gardens. Visit Halifax your way and at a pace that suits you.
