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!

Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour

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!

Zodiac Coastal Tour with Naturalist Guide: Lunenburg
tennis_menace, Sep 2026
We highly, highly recommend both the van tour and the Zodiac tour
Our group of five ladies booked the Zodiac tour for our afternoon in Lunenberg and really appreciated Jason's heads-up several days in advance that rain was likely and that the Zodiac tour was likely to be cancelled. So instead, we replaced it with the Hidden Gems van tour and rescheduled the Zodiac tour for the next morning.Both tours were excellent and highly recommended!On the Zodiac tour, we enjoyed a totally different view of the area from the water. Jason (and his wife and partner Deb on another Zodiac) pointed out harbour seals, Atlantic grey seals, bald eagles, cormorants, and gulls (we learned there is no such thing as a "sea gull"). Did you know that dog whelks can eat periwinkles by injecting digestive enzymes through their shells? And that you can whistle through a periwinkle shell? We also got a geological lesson about glacial bowling balls and that there are more types of lichen in the area than wildlife (by a factor of hundreds).All in all, a really wonderful outing.P.S. Read the pre-trip instructions on where to meet. Just sayin' ....

The boat to the island is comfortable and quite large. Lots of signage on the island to explain what you are looking at. The guided tour of the tunnels (about 30 minutes) was interesting.

Quality Experience!
Jason and Deb are committed naturalists that live a committed life. Their property is amazing as well as the hospitality. Learned a great deal about the south shore ecosystem and geologic history. They wanted us to see everything so easily went a half hour over. Just nice people. They also do tours in Antarctica in the winter…
