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!!

Up close to the water - amazing
What a great way to really experience the south shore of Nova Scotia. The animals cooperated and showed up to great us. The shoals are amazingly complicated and dangerous, but our guide Jason seemed to know the way around them effortlessly. Being close to the water and the land is so special.

Half Day Tour: Peggys Cove,Swissair Memorial & Titanic Cemetery
Bert_E, Sep 2026
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.
