Overview

Most Halifax tours show you a lighthouse. This one goes deeper. In just 3 hours, visit Swissair Flight 111 Memorial & Peggy's Cove in a private small-group tour.

Travel scenic Highway 333 along Nova Scotia’s rugged South Shore as your guide brings the coastline to life with stories of fishing heritage, dramatic ocean landscapes & the events of September 1998.

At the Swissair 111 Memorial, stand at the ocean’s edge for a quiet, respectful moment of reflection where 229 lives were lost. Hear the full story with depth, including the community response and the fishermen who were first on scene.

Then continue to Peggy’s Cove, where the mood shifts to awe. Explore the iconic lighthouse, granite rocks & fishing village at your own pace. Take photos, feel the Atlantic waves, and discover viewpoints and details most visitors miss.

No crowds, no buses, no rushing—just an intimate coastal experience designed for meaning & connection. Guaranteed on-time return to Halifax Harbour
