The focus of this outing is the beautiful diversity of Nova Scotia's South Shore.
Travel the scenic Lighthouse Route to famed Peggy's Cove. You'll have approximately one hour of free time to capture with your camera the iconic Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, perched on the granite shores of the cove. Take a brief stroll into the village overlooking the mighty Atlantic Ocean and see the De Garthe Monument carved from raw granite, paying tribute to the local fisherman. You may have some time to browse in the local shops offering all manner of items, from tasty treats to kitsch, cute and quaint arts and crafts.
Next visit the town of Mahone Bay -- one of the most attractive towns in Canada. It is renowned for the view from across the harbor, which encompasses three prominent churches. Enjoy free time in this friendly community to explore the boutique-style shops along the lovely Main Street.
Your tour ends with a relaxing drive back to the port of Halifax.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Visitors are asked to stay off the rocks and away from the shoreline at Peggy's Cove.
