Activity itinerary

Peggy's Cove

  • 1h
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, a journey of approximately one hour through the beautiful South Shore landscape. Along the way, your local driver-guide will point out notable sights, landmarks, and scenic views, giving you insight into the area’s rich maritime history. At Peggy’s Cove, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore this picturesque fishing village, home to the world-famous Peggy’s Point Lighthouse—the most photographed lighthouse in all of Nova Scotia. Perched on massive granite rocks overlooking the crashing Atlantic waves, the lighthouse has stood for over a century and remains a beloved symbol of Nova Scotia. Take a walk along the rugged coastline, look for tidal pools, or simply relax and enjoy the views. Then, wander down into the village, where you can browse local artisan shops, enjoy a bite to eat, or visit the William deGarthe Art Gallery.

Swissair Flight 111 Memorial

  • 15m
This is one of the most peaceful but also emotional places on the Nova Scotia coast. On the night of September 2, 1998, Swissair Flight 111 was travelling from New York to Geneva with 229 people on board — passengers and crew from 16 different countries. Around 10:30 p.m., about 8 kilometres off this rugged shoreline, the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean after reporting smoke in the cockpit. Tragically, no one survived. Local fishermen and rescuers from the communities of Peggy’s Cove and Blandford were the first to reach the area. Many of them risked their lives that night in rough seas, hoping to help. The search and recovery operation that followed was one of the largest in Canadian history. This memorial — built by the Government of Canada — was designed to honour the memory of all 229 souls and to thank the local residents who provided support and compassion during the recovery effort.

Fairview Lawn Cemetery

  • 10m
Titanic Grave Side. ( Fairview Lawn Cemetery) This is Fairview Lawn Cemetery, resting place of 121 victims of the RMS Titanic. Halifax became central to the Titanic storey because it was the closest major port to the disaster site.When recovery ships left this very harbour in April 1912, they brought back 209 bodies. Many were never identified. Here, you’ll notice the simple grey granite markers — some with names, others only with a number and the date April 15, 1912. The graves are arranged in a slight curve, meant to resemble the bow of a ship, symbolising the Titanic herself. One of the most touching stories is that of the ‘Unknown Child’, whose grave you’ll see just ahead. For decades, no one knew who he was. Modern DNA testing later identified him as Sidney Leslie Goodwin, a 19-month-old from England.

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site (Pass by)

Discover the rich history of Halifax with a visit to the iconic Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. Perched on a hill overlooking city centre Halifax, this star-shaped fortress played an important role in protecting the city and its harbour. Travellers can admire its historic stone walls, learn about Halifax’s military heritage, and enjoy panoramic views of the city and waterfront. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the city’s founding, British military history, and the Citadel’s role in defending Halifax. You will also have opportunities to see the famous Old Town Clock and explore the surrounding historic city centre area while experiencing the charm and heritage of Nova Scotia’s capital.
