Introduction

Departing Halifax with your guide, this tour takes you on an enchanting journey to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay.

Touring the south shore, you will learn all about the craggy coast’s history of fishing, boat building, pirates and rum running before arriving in Lunenburg itself.

Home to Nova Scotia’s largest fishing fleet, the Lunenburg Academy, the town is also home to a collection eye-catching architecture that stuns the senses with the vivid colours and well-defined wooden lines.

While in Lunenburg, you have the option of a guided walking tour of this dazzling town, or a visit the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, where you can learn more about the industry which defined Canada’s east.

From Lunenburg, you will continue on a drive through Mahone Bay, famous for its picturesque churches, many of which sit on the edge of the sapphire-coloured water. You will return to Halifax in the late afternoon.
