This is a good option for those who tend to get sea sick since it is relatively calm in the harbour. Before we left Willie went over the boat and Covid safety protocols. The man was really nice and let my daughter drive the boat. This made her quite happy and proud. The booking staff member we dealt with was great. We highly recommend this as a good family outing.

Fun, Informative, and Totally Worth It!…read more The Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour was another highlight of our trip--and definitely worth the money. It's such a fun and unique way to explore the city! You start on land, taking in historic landmarks and beautiful views, then splash right into the harbour as the vehicle transforms into a boat. It's a cool experience whether you're a first-time visitor or a local looking to see the city from a new perspective. Our tour guide, Adina, was fantastic--full of energy, super knowledgeable, and made the whole ride engaging and fun. Big shoutout to Captain Geoff as well for the smooth and safe ride! We learned so much about the history of Halifax while also having a great time. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for something a little different that mixes sightseeing with storytelling.

It was so windy and rough that you could not hear anything they said nor could you see out of the glass due to the water splashing up on the boats windows. While I understand they have no control over the weather, I feel they should have canceled the trip and refunded our money and we could have found something else to do that we would have enjoyed.

I was hesitant about this tour, I have back and balance issues so I contacted the owner but was…read morereassured this was "an easy" tour. "Thanks for your interest in our tours. The hiking portion of the tour does have some spots where good balance is needed as we follow and narrow path but has rocks along it. Also a few places where you have to step up over a rock or two" FALSE This was a hard, strenuous, dangerous hike. We scaled 4 foot boulders, scraped thru brush and trees, balanced across wood planks over boggy areas and went thru steep inclines and declines. You need to be in good shape and wear hiking boots. This is not a casual walk around Peggy's Cove.

We just took a tour of the valley with Ryan and Dean today and it was AMAZING. We brought our three…read moreyoung children with us who are ages 4, 5 and 8 and the hikes we took were perfectly adventurous but not too difficult for us or our kids. Both Ryan and Dean were so great with our kids who were at times a little, ahem, cranky, and they enthusiastically joked with them and helped cheer them up when they were having melt downs. Ryan even helped our daughter find cool rocks at one of the beaches we explored. My husband is an adventurous guy who is from Halifax and has toured around the province a lot and I have lived here for 10 years and have done some touring myself and they took us to places neither of us had been to before. I never knew Nova Scotia had such diverse and gorgeous spots! While we were driving around, Ryan told us so much about the history of the area and it was absolutely fascinating. He is a deep well of knowledge which definitely enriched our experience. Both Dean and Ryan are kind and funny. We clicked immediately. I loved the adventure we went on today and our kids keep saying they want to do it again. Thanks for such a great day!

Unreal Sunset Cruise with Great Wine, Cheese & Vibes!…read more We had an absolutely incredible time on the JFarwell Sunset Cruise with Wine & Cheese Tasting. We totally lucked out with perfect weather and were treated to a stunning sunset over the beautiful Halifax Harbour--seriously postcard-worthy. The cheese spread was top-tier, and the wine tasting included four pours--we especially loved the first white they served, and to my surprise, even the Nova Scotia red wine (and I'm usually not a red guy!) was super tasty--juicy, almost like a black currant vibe. Really impressive. The crew was amazing--friendly, personable, and full of great knowledge about sailing and the surrounding harbour communities. Huge shoutout to Finn, who even let me take the wheel for a bit--YOU'RE MA BOY, FINN! This cruise is an experience we'll never forget. Whether you're into boats, wine, or just want to soak in Halifax's coastal beauty, this is a must-do.

We went to Nova Scotia shortly after the wildfires, in June 2023. I had done a lot of research and…read morethe one thing we wanted to do, was go to Lunenburg. Top of our list was to have a horse and carriage ride around that pretty town. It's a beautiful place, but Shay, our expert driver brought the whole town to life. Not only was it interesting to hear about the history of the architecture and who lived in these beautiful homes, but we also got to hear about what happened to the horses during the wildfires. Farmers all over the province came with horse trailers to help get horses to safety. Amazingly kind people love on the East coast! If you are to Nova Scotia , make sure to go to Lunenburg, put this on your list as a must do. It really does take you back to the early days when life was much simpler and it was a delightful ride. Shay's parents came for a visit with their family a couple of years ago, fell in love with Lunenburg. They found the horse farm business, bought it from a retiring farmer. Shay, was already a carriage horse driver in beautiful Niagara on the Lake! We plan to return one day and have a few lovely carriage rides. Thank you Shay and your parents "who bought the farm"!

They were lined up right beside the wharf so we walked over and loaded up. The tour took around 45 minutes and was very informative. We snaked along the streets of Lunenburg hearing stories about the town's history and of the different historical buildings we passed by. Our tour guide was very informative and pretty funny as well. The ride itself was very comfortable and relaxing. The carriages only have a few seats but you have a good amount of room inside which is nice. The seats were soft and comfy. They also had blankets in case we got cold. We had a great time and would definitely recommend these tours for anyone going to Lunenburg.
