Halifax: Harbour Hopper City & Water Cruise in a Duck Boat

2.Harbour Hopper City & Water Cruise in a Duck Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 154 reviews · 55 min · from $56

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.”

JFarwell Sunset Wine and Cheese Yacht Sailing

3.JFarwell Sunset Wine and Cheese Yacht Sailing

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 149 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $150Top rated

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 :)”
