Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour
Erica_B, Sep 2026
Fun Halifax tour, especially for families
We had a great time on the Halifax Hopper with Hopperator Dave and Tour Guide Katie. Katie kept the tour fun, lively, and easy to follow, and Dave handled the ride smoothly from the streets into the water. It was a great mix of sightseeing, history, and humor without feeling too heavy. This would be especially good for families because it keeps everyone entertained while still showing off a lot of Halifax in a short time. Highly recommend for a fun, easy way to see the city.

The Tour was awesome. Our Tour guide Jason had a lot of useable knowledge about flora and fauna and it was an absolute delight to listen to his stories. The zodiac tour is a must do while visiting this area.

Round Trip Ferry Tour to Georges Island
eva_s, Sep 2026
Great time! We did get the “b” team, though.
I was under the impression that we could stay all day, but we arrived on a 1020 ferry, and the last ferry off the island was scheduled for 1340. We would have been disappointed if we didn’t have to leave early anyway. Don’t miss the tunnel tour. A lovely, informative brief tour. Our guide was from the citadel, so not quite as familiar with the island, but still interesting.

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
Y5768ZIlynnm, Sep 2026
Above and beyond my expectations.
Both the driver and guide were amusing and engaging and the guide, in particular, shared exceptional knowledge about Halifax.  I was definitely impressed at the skill of the driver.  Those details are what I expected.  What made the Harbour Hopper Tour particularly remarkable was the attention and assistance given to my elderly parents as they waited for the tour to start and their accessing the vehicle.  They were brought chairs to use while waiting, which went above and beyond our expectations.
