Salty Dog Sea Tours

Boat tour agency

👍👍 Wasn't sure whether or not to book this cruise but so glad we did. Had Jade as our tour guide and he was amazing. The cruise was close to 1.5 hours and toured around the whole island. Lots of things to see and inside information on on the show. Fantastic tube!

Shubenacadie River Adventure Tours

Rafting

👍👍 Our family spent the afternoon with Garrett, what an awesome time he gave us. He knows the river and his boat, made sure we had a blast and that we were safe. What a wild ride, on a perfect day.

Bára Whitewater Rafting

Raft trip outfitter

👍👍 Jeff has been a tidal bore rafting guide for over 14 years! We really enjoyed our trip with him. He is very knowledgable and since he is a smaller company, he can bring you to cool places the big rafting parties won't bring you to. My husband had a blast mud sliding! We went on a colder and rainy da...

Vintage Vino Tours

👍👍 Brennan is a perfect host. He’s not a five star he’s a 10!! We wanted to adopt him but we’re too old! We had a great time at all the wineries, ate wonderful food, drank truly excellent wines and craft beers. Brennan took his time, we never felt rushed and we also saw amazing views of the area. Than...

Shubenacadie River Runners

Raft trip outfitter

👍👍 Gotdamm this is an amazing activity! The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable, and so are the staff. This company goes earlier, stays later, and seems to have the best waves, and sense of timing. They are super fun, and probably should charge more than the competition, mostly because they are...

Grape Escapes Nova Scotia Wine Tours

Tour agency

👍👍 Went on an afternoon and lunch tour with grape escapes. I opted for the pick up from wolfville. The driver (JD) arrived in a timely manner, and gave us all a warm welcome. He was very outgoing friendly and had a great sense of humor. We checked out three wineries according to their itinerary. It was...

Cape LaHave Adventures

Canoe & kayak tour agency

👍👍 My sister and I booked a tour with Cape Lahave Adventures last minute in Aug 2022. We were hoping to find a spot that would allow my dog. We knew the chances were basically zero but it couldn't hurt to ask - and we were right. This company is willing to allow certain dogs (experienced in a canoe/kay...

City Harbour Cruises

Boat tour agency

👍👍 We went for a one hour cruise on a beautiful sunny day. Super comfy seating and a bar made it a first class experience. If you are looking for something special, walk past the kiosk on the dock and find City Harbour Cruises on the pier. Carl will not disappoint with his knowledge of the Harbour a...

Haunted Lunenburg Tour

Tour operator

👍 If you love ghost stories and learning about the history of buildings, this is for you. Very interesting and a great tour guide that keeps the story interesting. Going into the church was amazing. It's so beautiful inside. Playing in the grave yard is also great fun at night.

Star Charters

Boat tour agency

👍👍 Did the sunset sail from Lunenburg last Saturday and it was a really great experience. The captain provided an interesting mix of facts about the area and when it was settled but also gave time to just sit and enjoy the sail and the scenery. All the staff we encountered were super friendly and engag...

Halifax Titanic Historical Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 We took this tour with my brother and his family, making a group total of 4 adults and 6 children between the ages of 6-16. We had a fascinating day and it was amazing how quickly 6 hrs went by. It was very relaxing to drive around with someone who knew the city (Paul) and could tell/explain so much...

Pedal and Sea Adventures

👍👍 Loved everything! Our guides Wally and Mark kept us safe and on track for this challenging (on hybrid bikes) bike tour. NF is a most awe inspiring place and enjoying the wildness on a bike is the best way to go. We just returned from our trip today and we are already looking in to a Croatia tour wi...

The Halifax Ghost Walk

Sightseeing tour agency

👍👍 I have been on ghost walks in Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and ones in England, but I can honestly say that the Halifax Ghost Walk is the BEST one I have ever been on! Dusty, our guide, must be a trained actor. He just commanded attention and his tales were engaging, entertaining and genuinely spooky!!...
