Lunenburg & Peggy's Cove - Full Day Shore Excursion from Halifax

Discover 2 of Nova Scotia’s most iconic destinations by travelling to the fishing community of Peggy's Cove and to the picturesque Town of Lunenburg – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, well known for its rich history in ship building & its involvement in the fishing industry. We'll enjoy walking Lunenburg's working waterfront and might even have the chance to see the pride of the town, the world famous ship Bluenose ll Schooner (if it’s in port). Also if you love seafood, you’ve come to the right place! Lunenburg has numerous restaurants to choose from. As for our time in Peggy's Cove, we'll visit the most photographed lighthouse in all of Canada, founded in 1811 by 6 enterprising families lured by the prospect of free land granted by King George lll of England. Although the one that stands today was built a century later in 1914, it was used as a radio station for the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII. Over the years this lighthouse has guided many sailors to safety.
