All Halifax Tours & Excursions in 2026

We came at the end of April (off season) but the tour was still amazing as well as the guide/driver. Peggy's cove was beautiful and a fun spot to explore. There were not a lot of people there so I was able to get some beautiful pictures with unobstructed views of the lighthouse. Luneburg was a very cute village with great shops and dinning options. I had an amazing grilled cheese at the Salt shaker deli. I don't eat seafood but if you do this is the place to indulge. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour, Nova Scotia is beautiful!

Emre was amazing, he got called in as the original guide called in sick suddenly so even though we started little later than expected all was well in the end. The food was amazing and Emre was very informative about the history of the streets and places we visited. Thanks for a great time

It was so exciting to see the crew put up the sails. The musician played great contemporary music. We tipped him. The bar was busy and everyone became friendlier after a glass or two. Also, the gangplank is a bit steep after a glass or two. The pier is easy to find and there are nice restaurants all around for dinner afterward.

Great views; Driver very friendly and informative about the history of areas; Make sure you visit all the shops and museums down hill and around lighthouse; October was a great time to visit - not so crowded; 1st time I had a Lobster roll and it was worth the price - yummmm

It was interesting learning about the city of Halifax from land and from the sea. The driver and guide did a great job. The only improvement that I would suggest is to have more speakers on the vehicle. A lot of the time is was very difficult to hear/understand what was being said due to the noise of the vehicle.

We spent a day exploring Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg with Anant as our guide. From beginning to end, Anant’s expertise, warmth, and passion transformed what could have been just a “tour” into an all-around memory maker. From the moment he picked us up, Anant’s professionalism was evident. The vehicle was comfortable, clean, and climate-controlled, with water bottles ready — exactly what you need when covering as much ground as we did. As we made our way along Nova Scotia’s sparkling coastline, Anand’s narration was so much more than reciting facts. He wove together local stories, legends, and personal insights that gave depth to each stop. We stopped at Peggy’s Cove, along with the hundreds of people on the big cruise ship buses. We loved the VIP feel of our own luxury SUV. In Mahone Bay, we enjoyed the charming waterfront houses with whimsical lawn decor for the annual, unique Scarecrow Festival. In Lunenburg, Anant guided us across cobbled streets, explaining maritime heritage with the Blue Nose II and how the people lived through time. Flexibility & personal touch: When we asked to spend a little extra time at certain vantage points or detour for a photo opportunity, Anant happily accommodated. He balanced sticking to the schedule with letting the day breathe. Passion & personality: Anant has the gift of making history feel alive. He’s not lecturing; he’s conversing. You feel like you’re uncovering stories alongside a local friend. As a fascinating tidbit, he used to lead tours in the Himalayas and was happy to answer our questions about that too! Please note, the tour itinerary involves a lot of driving between sights. We enjoyed seeing the Fall colors, scenic water views & listening to Anant. Thank you for giving us a Halifax day we’ll remember always.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the wine tour! The guide was amazing and super knowledgeable about the area and the vineyards and the history of the wineries! We would highly recommend this tour - the wine was great but the landscape views were also amazing!

I had a great time fishing with the Sea Halifax fishing tour back in September, there was lots of action out on the water! Shout-out to Brandon for getting a hold of me and booking me onto the earlier chartered tour the night before when I was originally booked to go out at 4 pm on Sept., 8th. He offered me the 11 am time departure, so I went on that one and it was able to free up my afternoon afterwards. Johnathan was my fishing guide that took our group out on the tour, he is very knowledgeable and knows where the hot spots are for landing the big fish. The boat is equipped with all your fishing gear, rods, lures and life jackets, so you don't need to worry about bring your own tackle gear, nor do you have to buy a fishing license prior to going out. It's all included in the tour. The spot we ventured out to was about a 20 minute boat ride southwest of the Halifax Harbour and Waterfront where we were catching both mackerel and cod. Everyone else had a head start in catching mackerel, but I was one of the first to land the big cods on the line. I ended up landing 4 mackerel and 4 cods each, with the biggest fish I caught was as much as 5 to 8 lbs! The fishing was mostly catch and release (at least for the bigger cod fish), but for the 1 to 2 lb mackerel you were able to keep if you wanted to. But for this excursion it was mostly sport fishing. Only downside I experienced on the fishing tour was getting seasick (which is no fault of the chartered tour, so I was able to stick it out to the end), so your best bet is to make sure you have enough to eat and take some Gravol prior to setting out to sea. The wave currents on the ocean is a whole different animal than being out on a freshwater lake. Overall, I enjoyed my time out on the water with Sea Halifax and would definitely recommend the two hour fishing experience if you want to land the big catch!
