5.00This tour was such a great way to spend a summer evening in Halifax. The staff was super kind and welcoming, we had a perfect view of the city and sunset, and the live music made it such a fun experience.
Great Evening Cruise!

5.00The sunset cruise was wonderful. It was just the right length and let you see a lot of the Halifax skyline/waterfront. It would have been nice to have had a tad fewer people on the boat, as there really wasn't enough seating for everyone. So, if you got up to see something, you risked losing your seat. The harbor views were the entertainment we came for, but, the singer/guitarist, who gave a concert on board, was nice to hear. He was very friendly, approachable, and performed well. Overall, it was a great, affordable experience that I recommend.
Change of dock.

4.00They changed the pier at the last minute and called all the people who reserved. However, people like me have not activated their phones in Canads. A sign at the original boarding place directing people to the new doc would have helped a great deal.
