Lunenburg Tours and Tickets

If you have only a limited time to explore Nova Scotia's South Shore, discover more than would be possible on your own with this small-group tour. Visit such attractions as Old Town Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Canada’s most beloved lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove, all while getting insights into local history from your guide.

Nestled on the shores of the North Atlantic Ocean, the seaside towns of Lunenburg and Mahone Bay rank among Nova Scotia’s top attractions—with a fishing and boat-building heritage dating back centuries. On this tour, visit both sites in one day with round-trip travel from central Halifax. Delve into the region’s rum-running pirate past, discover hidden bays along the craggy coastline, and watch traditional fishing boats bobbing in the pretty harbor.

Your spirited adventure awaits. This intimate [small group] excursion will grant you access to some of the most exclusive experiences Lunenburg has to offer. To fully appreciate the beauty of Old Town Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we’ll explore the waterfront by foot and by boat where you’ll discover distiller insights, sample award-winning rum, and enjoy tales from the sea aboard Canada’s oldest saltbank schooner. Hear stories of Lunenburg’s rum running past before sampling traditional flavours with award-winning Rum Boat Rum at Ironworks Distillery. You’ll meet the distillers and discover how they partner with local farmers to craft their spirits. Strolling back along Lunenburg’s waterfront, step aboard the 80-year-old Theresa E. Connor for cocktails and stories of superstitions at sea.
