A great way to see a lot of the key sights of Halifax, both on land and in the waters of the harbor.

This was a good tour, we got both some of the history of the city, then we cruised the harbor to view the waterfront. Very nice.

This was an incredibly complete experience, full of beautiful sights, intriguing historical anecdotes, and actually witty repartee courtesy of our guides, Katherine and Liam. We had been considering a second boat tour of just the harbor, but this one was so good and fun that we didn’t feel a second was necessary. The key to the awesomeness of this experience was Katherine’s rapid-fire delivery; she filled every minute of the tour with memorable stories of the city and the Hopper, and still had time to take photos for travelers on the tour.
