Charlottetown, PEI Harbor Hopper is a must for Adults and Children - My husband and I really enjoyed the ride around the town and harbor skippered by Captain Derek and tour guide Lily. Derek was a super captain and Lily did a great job describing the history and local attractions. Charlottetown is a lovely city. We hope to return some day.

Interesting sights and a fun cruise around the harbor. - Skipper was awesome and engaging, but the real highlight was Glen, our tour guide - knowledgeable, informative and HILARIOUS! He spent time getting to know every passenger and really seemed to love his job and make our tour memorable!

Charlottetown Harbour Hopper excursion - Enjoyed the ride around town and harbor hosted by Captain Derek and tour guide Lily. We had beautiful weather and the crew of the Harbor Hopper did a wonderful job highlighting local attractions and dining suggestions. Can’t say enough about how beautiful the town of Charlottetown. Thanks for a great time.

Harbour Hopper Fun! - Lily our tour guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable and spoke very clearly. She was funny and engaging. The driver whose name unfortunately can’t remember was awesome too! The tour outlined most of the popular sights in town and on the water. We did see a little seal also. We toured at 3:15 on September 30. I’ve done the tour with visiting friends in Halifax many times and thought it would be fun in Charlottetown and it was.

A novel experience in a lovely city - The harbor hopper is an amphibious vehicle that sits a couple dozen people. All seats are on the top half of the hopper, and while the captain maneuvers through land or water, a guide narrates the notable views in town. We started on land and got a very nice tour of central Charlottetown. Our captain was silent, but our guide was a charming and gregarious college student who did an excellent job in pointing out notable buildings, streets, churches, civic landmarks, shops, etc. Once we completed this part, the captain made a b-line to the harbor, and without stopping, drove right into the water. Nerve-racking for a moment, you relax after you realize you are not going to sink. The "boat" ride through Charlottetown harbor was quite pleasant, although it was a cold and windy afternoon. Our guide pointed out the interesting items on the harbor front, and the scenic views throughout the bay. There was a large group of seagulls as well as black cormorants resting on the docks or flying around, making quite a bit of noise. A coupe of larger cruise ships were anchored on the docks, and locals were enjoying g line-fishing too. A relaxing and enjoying hour, well worth your time.
