On Sunday, June 28, 2026, we were picked up from our hotel right on time at 6:00 p.m. for the Peggy’s Cove Sunset Tour. Our driver, Izzy, was accompanied by two colleagues who were participating in the tour as interns. After picking up another participant, we headed toward Peggy’s Cove. During the drive, Izzy told us a lot about the beautiful city of Halifax. For example, we drove down Quinpool Road, which is known for its student murals (Halifax Mural Festival). Since we were just starting our three-week road trip through Canada, we were, of course, very grateful for all the tips we received from everyone. We all had a lot of fun, and the scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove was very entertaining. Once we arrived at our destination, we had a little over an hour, and it turned out that coming here in the early evening was the best idea. It wasn’t crowded at all anymore, the weather was absolutely beautiful, and a little later, a light mist formed over the sea, giving our photos an extra special touch. An unforgettable outing!
Afterward, we drove on to the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, just a few kilometers away. This memorial commemorates the crash of a Swissair plane on September 2, 1998, while en route from New York to Geneva, in which all 229 people on board lost their lives. It was a very reflective moment with a beautiful view of Peggy’s Cove. Finally, we headed back to Halifax, and by 9:30 p.m. we were back at the hotel.
This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Canada! Izzy and her team made it an unforgettable experience —a 5-star-plus rating! We highly recommend this tour to everyone. We’ve already suggested to our German tour operator that they include this tour in their offerings so that other travelers can enjoy it too.
A huge thank you to Izzy and her team!
