Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay & Lunenburg: Private Coastal Day

A privately chauffeured sweep of Nova Scotia's three most iconic coastal destinations — the granite-and-lighthouse magic of Peggy's Cove, the three-church reflections of Mahone Bay, and UNESCO Lunenburg — all in one luxurious day.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you dockside in a premium vehicle and whisks you first to Peggy's Cove before the tour-bus crowds arrive — the lighthouse rising from ancient pink granite above crashing Atlantic surf is as dramatic as travel gets. Mahone Bay follows, with its famous trio of church spires perfectly mirrored in the harbour. You return to Lunenburg with time to explore the waterfront, lunch on fresh lobster, and browse the galleries at your leisure. Your guide handles all logistics seamlessly.
