Itinerary

Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

40 min

Your journey begins with a direct drive to the iconic Peggy’s Cove, home to one of the world’s most photographed lighthouses. Perched on dramatic granite rocks, the lighthouse offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and is a perfect spot for photos. During your 40-minute visit, you’ll explore the fishing village, walk the rugged coastline, and hear local legends like the story of “Peggy of the Cove.” You’ll also see lobster traps, fishing boats, and artisan shops that reflect the area’s maritime charm. Your guide will provide safety tips for navigating the rocks and share stories about the village’s history and culture.
St. John's Anglican Church

30 min Admission included

Travelers visiting St. John’s Anglican Church in Lunenburg will step into one of the oldest and most beautiful examples of Gothic Revival architecture in North America. Built in 1754, this historic church features stunning hand-painted ceilings, intricate woodwork, and vibrant stained glass windows. Your guide will walk you through its fascinating history, including how it was rebuilt after a major fire in 2001 using traditional craftsmanship. You'll learn about its spiritual importance to the town, the deep ties to Lunenburg’s founding families, and the celestial map discovered on its ceiling. This 30-minute stop offers both quiet reflection and insight into Lunenburg’s rich cultural heritage.
