Nancy and Glen have a wonderful tour! Very hospitable and filled when beautiful history! Highly recommend it 😁

I had a wonderful time on the boat tour. The boat, the staff, the experience all excellent! I highly recommend for a more personal, less crowded and enjoyable hour on the water!

Our first time in Halifax and this is a great tour. Mackenzie and Chris made this tour fun, they were so knowledgeable the price point was perfect highly recommend this tour

We really enjoyed this boat tour, and highly recommend booking tickets (it's a small boat, so they sell out) for this one-hour tour. Carol was an excellent guide, and had such a lovely manner as she explained various points of interest and history. Our captain Christian was also very friendly and informative. All around a great way to see Halifax on and from the water! An A+ value for the experience.

We had a great tour with Carol as our tour guide and Christian as our captain. Very informative! Loved the smaller boat and intimate feeling of our own personal guided tour. Lots of current and historical information (along with jokes:). I would highly recommend!

Fantastic time! My partner and I were looking online for something to do that evening when we came across the Halifax Explosion Tour. We both love learning about the history of the places we visit, so it immediately caught our attention. We were admittedly a little nervous about being in such a small boat, but we had absolutely nothing to worry about. The journey was exceptionally smooth, and the boat was very comfortable. The tour itself was incredibly informative. We learned so much and had plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Our guide Kara was extremely knowledgeable but also easy to talk to which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a great time and we’re really glad we decided to give it a try. Highly recommend!

I have spent many summers here in Halifax and have experienced many of the activities the harbour has to offer, but this sunset tour was truly special. It was such a peaceful and relaxing experience, with only eight passengers on board and a musician playing acoustic guitar as we watched the sunset. The owner was both incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming and easy to communicate with which made the experience even more enjoyable. The intimate atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made this a memorable evening. On your next visit, I highly recommend this sunset tour—you won’t be disappointed! Gabriella Montclair New Jersey

The Halifax Explosion themed cruise from Halifax Harbour Tours is outstanding! Fun, informative, and a truly unique perspective offered by no other tour company. The boat is lovely, and we were entertained by our splendid guide, Kara, as well as our delightful Captain, Lea. I highly recommend this experience!

Just a wonderful tour of the Halifax harbor. A fun, small group and a terrific boat — so quiet and comfortable. The Little Tuna was a great host. She knows who I’m talking about 😄. Very highly recommend this company. Thanks for a great introduction for our time in Halifax.

This is an accessible tour that can hold up to 8 people. There were 4 of us in our group, and I sat right next to the guide. I could easily ask him or my mom a question whenever I missed something. It felt so personal and special. Highly recommend Halifax Harbour Tours!"

A highlight of our trip to Halifax! The boat is beautiful and so quiet with the electric motor. We did a moonlight cruise around the harbor with Captain Christian - he was so informative and also funny! The attention to detail was amazing - blankets for a chilly night, for example. Highly recommend, this is must do experience!

On a whim I signed up for a one hour cruise with Halifax Harbour Tours. It was AMAZING! Thank you for making my brief time in Halifax a very memorable time.

Tres beau tour d’une heure. Notre guide Julia est une étudiante en histoire, elle nous a raconté plein d’informations interessantes sur l’histoire du port.

My best experience of my life

It was the BEST boat out there, very unique and the guides were amazing! Thank you Nancy & Christian (the skipper). Also, small group (under 10) which we really enjoyed!

Excellent trip around the harbour with Glen and Carol, both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The size of the group (6 on our tour) made it feel like a private trip and we all had an opportunity to ask questions and follow up stories. Highly recommended

Loved this little boat!

The tour was amazing! It was a nice and calm ride going through the tour with our captain, Glenn, giving us a pleasant ride. Our guide, Nancy, gave us great insight to the local histories of the harbor and recommendations to explore while providing an uplifting mood to the overall experience. I would greatly recommend taking the tour with them!

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Our guide Julia was very knowledgeable and great to chat with. They gave us lots of great information on the history of the area and the boats that were docked. They were very accommodating as well, our original time slot had to be cancelled due to weather and they were helpful with getting us rebooked for a time that worked with our schedule. Highly recommend!

The crew were so kind and knowledgeable! The boat was adorable and cozy and it was so fun being on the ocean in a smaller boat. Would totally recommend.

We enjoyed our tour with Nancy and her captain very much! A beautiful day and a relaxing, informative, fun and quiet tour around the harbor front. (Easy for us all to hear and join the conversation with no motor!)

We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour! There were 8 of us in total-three small groups of people and we had such an enjoyable tour. Ben, our tour guide, kept us informed about the history and fun facts of the area and Glenn, the Captain also contributed great information as well. We laughed and learned for the entire hour. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Ben and Glenn!

Halifax Harbour Tour's historic wooden boat converted to electric really makes this tour outstanding. It is quiet so you can hear the guide and peoples questions, and you can move around. Perfect location near the Maritime Museum. To top it off, the staff online and at the stand were so helpful.

Katie and Glen make a great team. Loads of fun with those 2 characters. Highly recommend this tour!

Katie and Glen were amazing. What a fun trip with off the charts personalities. The captain has a friend captain that runs the ferry and they have a fun ritual when they see each other. Highly recommend this tour so much fun and history with the boat.

This was the magical highlight of our trip to Halifax. The couple (I think they were Joyce and Dave?....sorry if we're wrong...) were lovely and complimented each other perfectly. The tour itself was very laid back but with constant intriguing information about the history of the area and information about everything we were seeing. At one point they harmonized a few verses of Barrett's Privateers along with some tidbits about Stan Roger's, then ended our tour with Joyce singing Farewell to Nova Scotia with her ukelele and Dave harmonizing. No one else could possibly bring these skills and knowledge in such a unique way, so we did appreciate how magical it was. Lastly, their boat was quiet (electric powered), cozy, all wooden with tapestried cushions and blankets for cuddling. I highly recommend this tour to make your trip to Halifax memorable.

Thank-you so much to our guide Gillian, and our captain Glenn. They were so knowledgeable! It was a calm day and very relaxing to be out on the water. We chatted the whole time with our guide and learnt all about Halifax and Dartmouth. Saw the naval base and where they took the rescued Titanic victims. The boat is lovely and quiet. Very comfortable. There are so many blankets and scarves on board if you get chilly but I was comfortable in just my sweater. I would highly recommend spending an hour on this tour!

this tour was lovely! the couple leading the tour were so kind and the small tour size was ideal. I particularly loved the little song they sang.

The tour guide and captain were super friendly, informative and great at answering all of our questions

An excellent boat tour. I booked direct with the company on their website. Very easy to book and very easy to find as we visited by cruise. Gorgeous Boat, I love that it started life back home in London, UK! It’s now an electric boat and was so quiet! A great captain and great guide! A very relaxing sail along Halifax’s harbour front. Sit on the back seat for great views! Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our one hour boat tour. especially appreciated the lack of loud engine noise. made it very easy to hear both Joyce and Glen and the info they shared about the Halifax Harbor. We highly recommend this tour!

This was a really fun and relaxing way to get out on the water. The folks who took us out were really nice and fun.

Quaint little boat that is quiet and allows for guide to have good conversation with passengers.

We had a fantastic time! James was a lot of fun. We learned a lot about Halifax in one hour.

It was a wonderful, calm, and relaxed boat trip. The themed atmosphere and, most importantly, the excellent crew — Captain and our guide Nancy — made it unforgettable. Words cannot describe the experience. I truly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. A must-have!

This was such a wonderful tour. Relaxed, interesting stories and lots of questions to ask. The boat is beautiful, the Captain and guide were lovely and the tour gives a good overview of the city side of the harbour. It’s not a high octane thrill ride, if that’s what you’re looking for, but it was a great way to see the harbour on a beautiful afternoon.

Excellent Harbor Tour! Thank you.

What a beautiful and wonderful way to see the Halifax harbor. The guide along with the captain provided an amazing tour. Very knowledgeable and extremely fun time.

We had a truly wonderful time on one of the Harbour tours yesterday afternoon, captain Collin and our tour guide (I believe it was Tiana) were so friendly, informative and lovely. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon on our second day visiting Halifax. What a beautiful and memorable way to see the harbor and learn more about the local history. Highly, highly recommend!!

A wonderful relaxing experience, guided by a cheerful, kind and well-informed couple. Highly recommended!

A very enjoyable experience. All the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Didn’t just blurt out facts and figures but took the time to talk to people in the group. Small group and electric boat added to the tour experience. Well done.

Great Tour, loved the silence of the electric boat. Only 7 people on board, so it was kind of a private tour. Highly recommended!

Great boat ride no engine noise as it is an electric boat. Small group hence it felt like a personal tour and Dog friendly got to bring my little dog ( Buggie ).

Kara and Colin were amazing. We were the only guests so basically got a private tour. Kara could not have been sweeter or more knowledgeable on local history. Highly recommend.

It was a lovely serene trip around the harbour with interesting commentary and on a lovingly restored boat. Highly recommended.

Small capacity all electric boat with great Capt and awesome tour guide. Was a great way to spend an hour of our vacation

We stumbled upon this tour when we were walking along the water on Saturday evening. I spotted the small, but elegant looking boat and saw it was electric. The sign next to the ticket booth indicated they had tours starting shortly with open seats. Our tour guide (whose name I forgot) was simply wonderful. She was very knowledgeable but also left plenty of room for all of us to ask questions. We learned about the geography, the history, and some major events that took place in the harbour. It was just the right amount of info delivered in the right way. We had a smaller group and by the end it felt like traveling among friends. The electric motor made it super quiet and we didn't have to shout or be shouted at. Our captain navigated the water very well and we felt safe the entire time. I cannot rave enough about the tour and the staff. I would highly recommend this tour!

Loved how quiet and peaceful this tour was. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot on our boat tour while relaxing. We even saw seals! Would definitely come back again.

Great tour—friendly guide and super interesting!

An excellent relaxing ride with local flavour beyond what you can read in a history book.
