5.00Everything happened on time, crew was friendly and energetic. I enjoyed the little tour of the town, and going in the water is the most exciting part! In the water though I felt it was too short, I wish we have had spent more time in it and tour a little more.
A novel experience in a lovely city

4.00The harbor hopper is an amphibious vehicle that sits a couple dozen people. All seats are on the top half of the hopper, and while the captain maneuvers through land or water, a guide narrates the notable views in town. We started on land and got a very nice tour of central Charlottetown. Our captain was silent, but our guide was a charming and gregarious college student who did an excellent job in pointing out notable buildings, streets, churches, civic landmarks, shops, etc. Once we completed this part, the captain made a b-line to the harbor, and without stopping, drove right into the water. Nerve-racking for a moment, you relax after you realize you are not going to sink. The "boat" ride through Charlottetown harbor was quite pleasant, although it was a cold and windy afternoon. Our guide pointed out the interesting items on the harbor front, and the scenic views throughout the bay. There was a large group of seagulls as well as black cormorants resting on the docks or flying around, making quite a bit of noise. A coupe of larger cruise ships were anchored on the docks, and locals were enjoying g line-fishing too. A relaxing and enjoying hour, well worth your time.
Charlottetown, PEI Harbor Hopper is a must for Adults and Children

5.00My husband and I really enjoyed the ride around the town and harbor skippered by Captain Derek and tour guide Lily. Derek was a super captain and Lily did a great job describing the history and local attractions. Charlottetown is a lovely city. We hope to return some day.
Interesting sights and a fun cruise around the harbor.
