The drive to the first stop, Lunenburg, is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Upon reaching Lunenburg, you’ll find yourself in a town that resembles a living postcard. Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture and vibrant waterfront. As you explore, you’ll notice the town’s distinctive colorful buildings, each with its own story.

- The Ovens Park - A brief 25-minute drive from Lunenburg brings you to Ovens Natural Park, a site of breathtaking natural beauty along the rugged coastline. Here, you’ll have about an hour to explore the park, known for its dramatic sea caves called “Ovens.” These caves have been carved by the relentless waves of the Atlantic Ocean over centuries. A well-maintained trail leads you along the cliffs, offering stunning views of the coastline and allowing you to peer into the caves below. The sound of the ocean echoing through the caves creates a memorable sensory experience. The park also provides a peaceful setting for a short rest or a snack, with picnic areas surrounded by the area’s natural splendor. The cost of a park pass is additional and payable directly.
