Come explore Devonian granite rock formations. These 350 to 415 million-year-old boulders were scattered by retreating glaciers about 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. Almost surreal, they appear to be growing out of the fields of moss and shrubs, and offer breathtaking views of the coastal waterways, islands and marine wildlife sightings.
We also stop in the small, world famous fishing village of Peggy’s Cove. We will show you things most visitors walk past. For example, DeGarthe’s 100-foot granite monument depicting thirty-two fishermen, their wives and children on an outcropping behind his summer house in Peggy’s Cove. Magnificent scenery, gift shops and the ocean make this a one-of-a-kind tour.
