★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 801 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $74

Halifax Peggy’s Cove Express is a small-group half day trip with hotel pickup, a focused ride to Peggy’s Cove, and lighthouse photos.

“Loved the areas we visited. Two suggestions: our driver needs a microphone because he is/was very soft spoken and hard to hear if you’re in the back. And the meeting location was confusing. We were told to meet by a tree in the park when it would have been better to know our driver would be in front of the Westin Hotel.”

Van was very comfortable and for us being a party of 2 JD got all 6 of us engaged within the trip. Wineries were fantastic. Very impressed with NS wineries after many trips to the Niagara Ontario region. Highly recommend this trip.”

8.Tall Ship Silva Sailing Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 289 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $40

Tall Ship Silva sails from Halifax Waterfront for about 2 hours with live commentary, live music, and a chance to help hoist the sails.

“Though the conditions were perfectly fine, this boat spent three quarters of the 2 hours motoring about. When they finally raised the sails, it was only for show because the engines were never turned off and the boat really didn't go sailing. To make matters a little worse, the live music which was selected to "entertain" the guests wasnt nautical and far too loud. We were all glad not to hear it when we got off the boat.”
