Review the Tall Ship Silva cruise in Halifax, with live music, harbour views, sail raising, practical tips, pricing, and honest drawbacks.
“This was one of the highlights of our trip. Loading was very easy. The crew were courteous and polite. The views were amazing! Live music was a bonus. Highly recommend this tour!”
Review of Halifax Harbour Hopper, a 55-minute amphibious city and harbour tour with lively guides, waterfront views, and a splash into the water.
“The guides were personable, upbeat and very knowledgeable. Francine and I think Capt Colin (sorry if I got your name wrong Not Colin) were fantastic. They definitely knew the city and the stories. I would highly recommend them if you get lucky enough to have them as your guides. Well done! We came off of a cruise for a day and this was the highlight of our trip. We are already looking into coming back to Halifax in large part to what we learned from these fantastic guides in a short time.”
Review of Halifax’s JFarwell sunset wine and cheese sail, with Nova Scotia wines, harbor views, crew tips, pricing, and practical advice.
“Brandon & Margaret were absolutely great hosts. Margaret handled the boat like the back of her hand. You could tell she’s passionate about sailing. Brandon was also great, explaining how to adjust the sails, etc. We were served 4 glasses of Nova Scotia wines, but if wine wasn’t your thing you could swap it out for another drink. 2 bathrooms on board & a beautiful experience. There’s no dress code but I’d recommend flat shoes. If you’re worried about getting cold, they have blankets on board to keep you comfortable. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t be! It’s worth it :)”
Sail Halifax Harbour aboard a small yacht, help handle the sails, spot Georges Island, and enjoy a hands-on Nova Scotia outing.
“I bought this sailing excursion for my dad as a Father’s Day gift him and his fiancé they had the most amazing time. They said the crew was incredibly hospitable. They called to thank us and tell us what a nice day they had. My dad said he would highly recommend to anyone in the area. He even called when he got home to make sure that we left a tip for the crew.”
