Evening Cruise in Halifax - Fun experience on a beautiful evening. Smooth sailing and great musical entertainment. Lovely to see waterfront shops and restaurants lit up from the water.

Perfect way to end our Nova Scotia holiday! - Our family joined the Sunset Cruise on our last night in Halifax, and what a way to unwind and take in the sights! The crew were friendly, and the musician was great (and funny!). They pointed out many sights and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the ship. You can help hoist the sails, and even participate in a little scavenger hunt, which is great for kids, etc. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunset and plenty of time to enjoy it!

Sunset cruise - Great cruise! But get there early or you might not get a seat. Also it can be a little tricky to find.. it's alongside Cable Wharf

Very fun - Beautiful boat, wonderful evening activity for friends and family. Drinks available on board, it was cloudy the day we went, but we still enjoyed it and we loved the live guitar music!

Perfect Friday Night - This tour was such a great way to spend a summer evening in Halifax. The staff was super kind and welcoming, we had a perfect view of the city and sunset, and the live music made it such a fun experience.

Great Evening Cruise! - The sunset cruise was wonderful. It was just the right length and let you see a lot of the Halifax skyline/waterfront. It would have been nice to have had a tad fewer people on the boat, as there really wasn't enough seating for everyone. So, if you got up to see something, you risked losing your seat. The harbor views were the entertainment we came for, but, the singer/guitarist, who gave a concert on board, was nice to hear. He was very friendly, approachable, and performed well. Overall, it was a great, affordable experience that I recommend.

Too crowded - There are too many people on board. If you’re sitting down you can’t see anything. Girls working on the boat were very nice.
