Tall Ship Silva Sailing Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

Unique experience!
Such a wonderful experience! Kenzie was an absolute star and even let us take a quick peek at the engine room. She also provided us with some “honorary crew member” certificates (which I am sure are normally for children) which are such a sweet reminder of our trip. The musician was also wonderful, would definitely recommend this trip!!

Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour

Excellent Tour Experience
We had an excellent tour experience in Halifax! Despite the cold weather and rain toward the end of the tour, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our driver, Garrett, and our tour guide, Amina (or Amy- wearing glasses- did not get her name right), were both fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided plenty of interesting and informative details throughout the tour. Their excellent service made the experience enjoyable from beginning to end. The tour was definitely worth it, and we are so glad we decided to take it. Most importantly, the birthday boy—my brother—had a wonderful time! We would definitely do this tour again, hopefully on a sunny day, and would highly recommend it to our family and friends. Thank you, Garrett and Amina/Amy, for an informative, enjoyable, and memorable experience!

Such a Fun Way to See Halifax!
We had such a great time on the Harbour Hopper! It was a fun and unique way to see Halifax, and going from touring the city streets to heading right into the harbour made the experience even better. Our guide was entertaining, knowledgeable, and kept things interesting throughout the whole tour. It was a great mix of Halifax history, sightseeing, and fun. Definitely something I’d recommend if you’re visiting the city and want to experience Halifax from both land and water!

Windy, but wonderful...
Windy, but wonderful drive out to Peggy’s Cove. Lighthouse was fun to walk out to. Fishing boats, colorful homes along the harbor, and a long horn being played by a costumed character. I had forgotten about the Swiss Air disaster, but very touched by some momentos left by families of those killed in crash. The Titanic cemetery never fails to be impressive when you think of the mistakes that lead to all the lives lost. Great driver with lots of knowledge about the area.

Halifax Summer Breeze Sail

Perfect way to get on the water.
Easy to find, easy to board, easy to enjoy! We loved our sail. It was a beautiful day, the crew was kind and friendly and the captain was very attentive to his job. The complementary drinks were great, the small number of passengers led to delightful conversation. I would happily go again and again. I did wish for a small amount of commentary about the coast as we sailed (not a full historical tour, just a bit a of knowledge sharing), I do realize each person might wish for something different and this is no way took away from the experience- I just love to Know Things!

This was a fun day at three vineyards sampling wine. The chicken sandwich for lunch was excellent and more than enough. Sandy, our driver, added some history and humor to the trip. I highly recommend this trip.

Half Day Tour: Peggys Cove,Swissair Memorial & Titanic Cemetery

Great excursion and experience
We wanted to visit Peggy's Cove and Swissair Memorial and Titanic Cemetery were added bonuses. Well worth the experience! Arjun communicated via text before our excursion, so we were reminded just where and when to meet. Arjun's knowledge was informative and was just the right amount. Being in a Ford Transit van gave us an advantage of visiting the Swissair Memorial, as the parking lot is tight and did not see any buses stopping. The Half Day excursion was a good amount. It moved along yet not rushed. We were a full van, so while tight, we were still comfortable. Maybe 12 would have been ideal, verse 13. Great experience overall. Would definitely recommend Alpha Travel & Tours!
