What you'll see and do
Peggy's Cove
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, a journey of approximately one hour through the beautiful South Shore landscape. Along the way, your local driver-guide will point out notable sights, landmarks, and scenic views, giving you insight into the area’s rich maritime history. At Peggy’s Cove, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore this picturesque fishing village, home to the world-famous Peggy’s Point Lighthouse—the most photographed lighthouse in all of Nova Scotia. Perched on massive granite rocks overlooking the crashing Atlantic waves, the lighthouse has stood for over a century and remains a beloved symbol of Nova Scotia. Take a walk along the rugged coastline, look for tidal pools, or simply relax and enjoy the views. Then, wander down into the village, where you can browse local artisan shops, enjoy a bite to eat, or visit the William deGarthe Art Gallery.

Swissair Flight 111 Memorial
This is one of the most peaceful but also emotional places on the Nova Scotia coast. On the night of September 2, 1998, Swissair Flight 111 was traveling from New York to Geneva with 229 people on board — passengers and crew from 16 different countries. Around 10:30 p.m., about 8 kilometers off this rugged shoreline, the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean after reporting smoke in the cockpit. Tragically, no one survived. Local fishermen and rescuers from the communities of Peggy’s Cove and Blandford were the first to reach the area. Many of them risked their lives that night in rough seas, hoping to help. The search and recovery operation that followed was one of the largest in Canadian history. This memorial — built by the Government of Canada — was designed to honour the memory of all 229 souls and to thank the local residents who provided support and compassion during the recovery effort.

Fairview Lawn Cemetery
Titanic Grave Side. ( Fairview Lawn Cemetery) This is Fairview Lawn Cemetery, resting place of 121 victims of the RMS Titanic. Halifax became central to the Titanic story because it was the closest major port to the disaster site.When recovery ships left this very harbor in April 1912, they brought back 209 bodies. Many were never identified. Here, you’ll notice the simple gray granite markers — some with names, others only with a number and the date April 15, 1912. The graves are arranged in a slight curve, meant to resemble the bow of a ship, symbolizing the Titanic herself. One of the most touching stories is that of the ‘Unknown Child’, whose grave you’ll see just ahead. For decades, no one knew who he was. Modern DNA testing later identified him as Sidney Leslie Goodwin, a 19-month-old from England.

Excellent Peggy Cove tour
Fantastic experience. Ask for Neda, she was a great tour guide and storyteller. Picked us at Pier 22 as she told us she was going to do the night before. She picked the rest of the passengers at the other terminal and we were on our way. Very small tour as advertised. She had water for every on the vehicle. Great comfortable ride. Great pacing and information, we learned and saw so much! Would definitely recommend this tour booking. Wonderful tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a fantastic experience with Amaan Tours. We’re especially happy that Neda made your tour memorable with her storytelling, knowledge, and friendly service. We’re glad you enjoyed the comfortable ride, small-group experience, refreshments, and the relaxed pacing of the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and kind words about Neda. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with her. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Halifax again in the future! Thank you for choosing Amaan Tours!

A great day in Peggy’s Cove.
We had a great tour with Amman tours. They keep us informed before the tour of the meeting place and times much better than company I have ever used. On the tour my wife and I had a private tour which was very flexible as to what we could do and see based on my wife’s mobility and what we wanted to see. I could not have had a better tour even if I was doing the driving. Our driver suggested some places that were small short stops that we would have never seen if we were on a bigger bus tour. If you have an opportunity to use Amman tours on your trip to Halifax you will be very happy with Amman tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your private tour with Amaan Tours. We’re especially glad that our flexibility allowed us to adjust the tour around your wife’s mobility and focus on the places you wanted to see. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication, meeting instructions, and our driver’s recommendations. We love showing our guests some of the smaller, less-known stops that can make a private tour extra special. Thank you for choosing Amaan Tours and for recommending us to other visitors to Halifax. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Nova Scotia in the future!

Don't take this tour if they use Amaan Tours Inc.
The name of the gentleman driving was Bogale with Amaan Tours, Inc. He was NOT a tour guide and only took us from place to place. He NEVER explained anything about the places we went. He would drop us off and NOT tell us when he would pick us up. I was so upset when we went to the Titanic Grave site because we were just left to wonder around. Fortunately, I found a tour guide from another company that was explaining about the various graves and I followed along with her tour. We had another couple on this tour that had family in another vehicle from Amaan Tours Inc. that had this same experience. Viator you should ban this company from doing business with you as they are NOT tour guides but merely taxi drivers. It definitely gives your company a bad name and reputation. If this had been the only tour I had taken with Viator, I would NEVER use your company again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take your comments regarding the service provided by Bogale very seriously. We are going to review this matter internally and take appropriate action to ensure our tour standards and guest communication are properly followed. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to address it.

Small Group tour to Peggy Cove.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Halifax.
How much does Small Group tour to Peggy Cove. cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Halifax usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small Group tour to Peggy Cove. take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Halifax is not rushed.
Is Small Group tour to Peggy Cove. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Halifax, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group tour to Peggy Cove.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small Group tour to Peggy Cove. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group tour to Peggy Cove.?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Halifax can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Halifax and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group tour to Peggy Cove. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Halifax within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Halifax?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Halifax?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
