Entertaining Ride with a Splash

A fun tour at a fair price. I only wished it were a little longer, but it was great that they run tours later in the afternoon and evening when most others have stopped. Captain Geoff was excellent, and our guide Katie kept the energy up while sharing interesting facts about Halifax. We’d already been in the city for several days and knew most of the information, but it was still a nice break to sit back, relax, and let someone else do the driving. The splash into the water was a highlight—kids on board especially loved it. A fun, easy outing for families.

Got a lot of looks from passers by. Loads of fun looking down on people at street level. Would definitely do again.
Just okay

Sit in the middle. The front you get wet and the back is loud and bumpy. It was interesting but not a must do. Very hard to hear the guides.
Beautiful ride!!!!

It sometimes takes family coming for a visit but it was my wife's and my first time doing the tour. We had a blast. The father and daughter duo (dad running the boat while his daughter did the commentary) were both funny and informative. The trip includes Citadel Hill, around the downtown core, and out on the water. Well worth the price. I would suggest buying from them directly as you can buy from others online but at an increased cost in some cases. Also, when they drive into the water, those upfront and on the right did get some good spray so if you want to enjoy the water up close and personal, sit there....lol.
Fun time!
