PEGGY'S COVE & LIGHTHOUSE PRIVATE TOUR

DURATION 5 Hours or 6 Hours

Peggy's Cove is Nova Scotia's most popular tourist attraction and is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margaret's Bay in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality, which is famous for the Peggy's Point Lighthouse.

This tour features a drive from Halifax to Peggy's Cove along the beautiful Lighthouse Trail. Known for it's stunning coastline, east coast charm, and yes, the famous lighthouse (most photographed in Canada), Peggy's Cove is also home to restaurants, local art, preservation area and an active fishing village.

Recent updating of infrastructure including roads, walkways, extensive boardwalk and mobility friendly viewing deck that overhangs the rocks, allows visitors to immerse themselves in the natural landscape for a unique experience.

For lunch enjoy Lobster, Fish and Chips and other local favorites at an additional cost.

A typical tour includes a stop to the Fairview Lawn Cemetery to learn the historical Halifax connection to the Titanic. Coastal drives as we pass small fishing villages and amazing views, meal/lunch stops and so much more. Other areas we can arrange based on interest and time is Swiss Air Memorial Site, the Acadian Maple Shop, Peggy’s Cove Glass artisan shop

As with all of my tours, it can be customized to suit your interests. Meal stops with various options are available along the route at an extra cost. I have my standard 5 hour Peggy's Cove tour, but the demand over the years was very high to have more time to see more sites and spend more time in the areas visited. So there is the option for a 6 hour tour. The extra hour allows this flexibility and well worth the time added. Max seating is six guests based on typical sized adults/children. The number of passengers should be reduced for over-sized/taller passengers to ensure comfort & accessibility. See FAQ for more details.

A Perfect Tour for a Cruise Shore Excursion or Day Trip.

All tours are senior and kid friendly ... However, please note the following:

Kid Friendly - Please advise if a booster seat is required and we can provide.
I am unable to accommodate child/baby car seats in the vehicle.
Please advise of any mobility issues and if a guest has a walker, so I can ensure room the day of the tour. I don't always have room for folding walkers. (I usually have cleaning suppliers and a cooler onboard) I have very limited space for storage. But can fold down back seat if only a group of 4. Contact me with any questions at all. Ty
Wheel Chair - I am generally not able to accommodate wheel chairs or motorized scooters due to available space. Having said that I have accepted some in the past on a case by case bases. Guests must be able to enter and exit the vehicle safely unassisted. This combined with a lower number of guests to accommodate space requirements. (ie. Room in back or folded down back seat) Please contact me before booking if this is a request. Showing up for a tour without advising of a wheel chair or mobility scooter may result in delaying the tour or cancellation due to lack of space/preparation.
Thank you for your understanding.
