Discover the rugged beauty of Nova Scotia with a local Haligonian guide on this intimate small-group tour. Skip the crowded buses and experience the authentic rhythm of Maritime life.
Meeting Point: We meet outside Garrison Brewing Company (1149 Marginal Rd) at 9:30 AM. Please arrive 5 minutes early to meet your group.
Peggy’s Cove: Our first stop is the world-famous Peggy’s Cove. Marvel at the iconic lighthouse perched on ancient granite boulders. Feel the salt spray, safely explore the rocks, and wander the winding roads of this active fishing village filled with colorful boats and lobster traps.
Fisherman’s Cove: Next, we visit the hidden gem of Fisherman’s Cove in Eastern Passage. Stroll the boardwalk lined with local artisan shops and visit the Heritage Centre to learn our history. We’ll walk MacCormacks Beach for views of the Halifax skyline and witness the Atlantic tides—hunting for sea glass at low tide or watching the boats rise at high tide.

On this intimate small-group tour, you’ll discover the authentic rhythm of a working Maritime community just minutes from Halifax.

These are the studios of local artisans where you can browse unique maritime art, jewelry, and Nova Scotian keepsakes, or grab a fresh lobster roll.

Exhibits reveal the rugged lives of the families who settled here and the area’s fascinating wartime history. Beach & Tides: Walk the boardwalk at MacCormacks Beach for views of the Halifax skyline.
