All Halifax Tours & Excursions in 2026

What a great way to see some historic sites in Halifax. Our tour guide was friendly and very informative, and we had ample time at both Peggy’s Cove (1 hour) and Luneburg (2 hours). In my personal opinion, you don’t need longer than that. The pickup and drop locations were very convenient if you’re staying downtown. Would highly recommend.

Jeff was an excellent tour guide and safe driver. He provided great information, not only about the attractions, but also the history, geography, and politics about the province which was much appreciated. The time provided to explore each attraction was more than sufficient.

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.

Messaged our driver for meeting location which was right in front of the terminal. Zamir was awesome! Provided water for us all and car was spotles. He was very informative of history of Halifax and gave us information for all locations we were going to. Having a private tour guide was the best. We moved at our pace rather than the pace of 20 other bus riders. We also could be flexible in the areas we stopped at. He even stopped off at a Lobster wholesaler for a quick lobster lesson. Basically the 5 hour time was ours and he was willing to spend whatever time we wanted at each location. At the end he dropped us off at a nearby restaurant which he recommended and it was wonderful! Highly recommend this tour! Thanks Zamir!!!

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!

This was a very relaxing and fun boat trip. Even with lack of wind for sailing, our crew gave us a great tour of the Halifax area, answered questions, and we had an enjoyable ride. We even got a great restaurant recommendation that was off the beaten path. It was wonderful. We can highly recommend this tour.

Captain Andrew and Deckhand Ali were incredible. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable in various areas (wines offered, local information, and some Nova Scotia history). The experience was amazing- the views, wine/charcuterie, and overall vibes were spectacular!
