Halifax offers a full-day tour that covers notable coastal and historic sites around Nova Scotia. This guided bus tour lasts about 6 to 7 hours and includes air-conditioned transport and bottled water. Commentary is provided before each stop, allowing flexible time to explore independently. The tour begins with a drive from downtown Halifax to Peggy's Cove, lasting around 45 minutes. At Peggy's Cove, visitors can see the famous lighthouse built on granite rocks and walk along the rugged shoreline. The village itself features local shops and galleries reflecting its fishing heritage. Nearby, a short walk leads to the Whalesback Memorial, a granite monument commemorating Swissair Flight 111, located about 1 kilometer north of Peggy’s Cove. Next, the tour proceeds with about a one-hour drive along the South Shore to the UNESCO-listed town of Lunenburg. Here, travelers have two hours to explore the colorful waterfront, historic ships such as the Bluenose II, and the town’s preserved 18th and 19th-century architecture. The streets include shops and art galleries, and there is an option to have a lobster lunch at a waterfront restaurant (not included). The final stop is Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, where visitors spend about 30 minutes. This cemetery holds over 100 Titanic victims’ graves, arranged in distinct curved rows with numbered headstones. The guide explains Halifax’s role in the Titanic disaster and its aftermath during this visit. The rest of the time accounts for travel between stops. The tour does not include lunch or gratuities, and infants must have their own car seats as none are provided.
