Long Lake was the City of Halifax’s principal water supply from the mid-1800’s to the 1970’s and a result it has always been protected from adjacent development that could negatively affect its water quality. The result is a 3 km+ long lake on the edge of the city with absolutely pristine water and an uninterrupted, unaltered natural shoreline. Long Lake is a great place to spend several hours of a day traversing the lake and exploring the many inlets, two islands and the old dam that created the lake’s current shape two centuries ago.

What are people saying about Halifax

JohnJoseph_N, Oct 2026

You can trust Viator and their vetted excursion partners

We were looking forward to an 7-8 hour all day excursion from our cruise ship port in Halifax to Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, etc., Unfortunately, our ship arrived in Halifax 1.5 hours late due to a storm at sea. Without our having to ask, the excursion trip operator proactively communicated with us and let us know there was not enough time left to complete the tour and we would receive a full refund. We could not have asked for better treatment. You can trust Viator and their excursion partners to be responsive, and to do the right thing. Thank you, Viator!

Ask for Agnes!

Highly recommend this tour. Agnes was such a knowledgeable and personable tour guide. It was easy to see that she truly loves her job. We couldn't believe how much she knew about each of the sites and the ease with which she delivered facts and figures - but in a completely casual, comfortable manner. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Halifax Sunset Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

Annette_O, Oct 2026

Delightful Evening

Experience and entertainment amazing although it was a-bit cold so dress appropriately if taking a late afternoon cruise. The entertainment was Gary from Barrie wonderful musician and played one of his original songs. There was a lot of toe tapping to the music so you know it was good. The complimentary coffee was greatly appreciated. Hats and gloves would be an asset for a fall evening. Enjoy! Guests were allowed to participate in raising the sails.

Great tour of Halifax

This is a private tour so you can request where to go or rely on your driver to show you around. We did both, and our driver Anant was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. We visited the Gardens and Peggy's Cove and stopped for lunch of fish and chips (best ever) and lobster rolls at the Food Factory near the cove. We made several other stops for sightseeing.

Small Group Tour - Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, the Annapolis Valley

Julie_H, Oct 2026

Spectacular Coastline and Beautiful Towns

This trip was a wonderful way to see some of Nova Scotia's spectacular coastline and beautiful towns within easy reach of Halifax. There were only 4 of us booked on this trip, making it friendly and intimate. As well as a scenic drive in the comfort of a small SUV, we had plenty of time to explore Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, and Wolfville. Our guide, Ian, was very knowledgeable and interesting, as well as being a good driver, and his commentary added significantly to our enjoyment of the day. Although it was a long day, there was plenty of time to relax in the car. I would definitely recommend this company and this itinerary.

Patricia_K, Sept 2026

Very, very accommodating owner, highly recommend

This her guide was phenomenal. We had booked a long time ago, but our ship was only a port for short while. Another ship came in that was going to be there for the whole day and he had the opportunity for a much larger group. Instead of canceling us which we have often been canceled at the last minute, the owner took us on a personal tour by himself.
