Biking & Kayaking Nova Scotia: Settled mainly by Swiss and German immigrants in 1753, Lunenburg has become one of Nova Scotia's most historic and beautiful towns. The homes and buildings here date back to more than a century (1760-1890) and the streets still adhere to the original town plan of 1753. Because of this exemplary preservation, Lunenburg was honored the distinction of becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Lunenburg's colourful waterfront, narrow streets, and captivating architecture radiate the town's seafaring heritage.
That's why we've decided to run a family tour (we also take small groups) out of Lunenburg, with plenty of things to do, but without the hassle of packing your things every morning. We've chosen a wonderful historic inn for you to call home, with beautiful coastal loop rides and a day of kayaking to awaken your senses. We'll take in other small towns such as Mahone Bay and LaHave along the way before settling in each evening with some of the freshest seafood along the eastern seaboard. We're sure this tour will make you want to come back and experience other wonderful secrets of our beautiful Nova Scotia.
Lunenburg Family Tour: Day one:
We'll meet with you in Halifax or at the Robert Stanfield International
Airport to transfered you Lunenburg, where we have a guided
walking tour of the town planned before our welcome dinner later in the
evening. The walking tour will set the stage for the week and the dinner
will set your expectations high for the rest of your stay. Your home
for the next four nights will be at The
Bluenose Lodge.
Day two:
We'll adjust your bike this morning, then we're off! We have planned one
of our favorite rides for you today: through Mader's Cove, Mahone Bay,
and Indian Point. We will have lunch in Mahone Bay, a community of artists
and artisans with plenty of charming shops to occupy your time before
heading back to the inn. Just to mix things up a little, we thought a
boat tour out in to the harbour would be fun, complete with lobster dinner
and tales of old by your captain.
Day three:
Mahone Bay encloses more than 350 islands, so what better way to see them
than in a kayak? Our experienced guides will make you in to Olympians
before setting off for a paddle through the islands and along secluded
beaches where seabirds and wildlife are the only company. You will pull
in for some lunch before heading back to the starting point. We head
back to town early today, to provide time for you to stroll the streets
of Lunenburg. Be sure to visit the many art galleries, including artist-run
Peer Gallery.
Day four:
We are back on the bikes today en route to LaHave. Along the way we will
stop at a few beaches and take one of the world's last operating cable
ferries across the LaHave River before cycling back to Lunenburg. We're
never far from the water during our ride, so do keep an eye out for birds
and wildlife. We often see Blue Herons motionless in the shallows while
bald eagles soar overhead... another great day in the saddle. We have
a special dinner planned for our last night together at a restaurant
just chosen as one of the best new restaurants in all of Canada.
Day five:
After your innkeepers spoil you once again with their hearty breakfast,
it is goodbye to Lunenburg and hello Peggy's Cove as we make our way back
to the Halifax area. Peggy's Cove is the third-most-visited site in Canada
behind Banff and Niagara Falls— and with good reason. It is a charming,
colorful fishing community nestled between and perched atop of bedrock
scraped out of the earth when the glaciers passed by. And then it's back
to Halifax or the Halifax Airport with time to spare to help you plan your
next trip back with us.
