Tours of Halifax Harbour
  • Tip Rating:
  • We took an interesting and enjoyable tour of Halifax streets and harbour with Harbour Hopper Tours in an amphibious vehicle. The tour is a good way to get to know the city of Halifax and its huge harbour. We learned a lot on the tour, the guide was entertaining delivering his information in a light hearted way. We booked the tickets at the booth on the waterfront, the Harbour Hopper runs daily from 9.00am to 6.00pm from May 22nd. to October 17th. I can't remember how much it costs but the brochure says pricesless!

    SEE LUNENBURG WITH BUD THE HORSE
  • Tip Rating:
  • We took a horse and carriage ride around lovely Lunenburg with Bud the horse and his friend Suzanna. The horse didn't need any instructions - he had done it all before and he took us slowly through the little streets. Suzanna our guide was great, giving us all the history of the town in an enchanting, friendly and funny manner. We shared the ride with a couple from Quebec who were also great company. If you want to travel by yourself it costs double. Sharing and meeting with new people is always such a pleasure.

    Hire a Car and drive the roads.
  • Tip Rating:
  • We hired a car here in the U.K. before going to Nova Scotia through Enterprise. Everything went smoothly, the car was ready and waiting at Halifax International Airport and we were ready to drive Trans Canadian Highways. Car hire is widely available in Halifax if you don't book from home, there are lots of the usual car hire companies at the Airport.

    Red-eyed Drive??
  • Tip Rating:
  • Depending on where you are travelling FROM it is a good idea to drive to Nova Scotia. However, if you are coming from Austraillia for example, that wouldn't be very practical. Either way it is a very good idea to have car access while in Nova Scotia so renting a car would be a good option. Since Nova Scotia is a small province with lots to see, it is easy to move around from day to day and see lots of things!

Best of all, no matter how many passengers are in your car, you pay just one great rate.

    A weeks trip
  • Tip Rating:
  • I really can't see making a Halifax a must. If you take in the western and southern shore as suggested you'll be able to take in Kejimkujik, Bay of Fundy, Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, and the lighthouse route. Along with whale watching and relaxing smaller drives you've filled up a week with great photos and breathtaking scenery without going broke at the gas-punp. An inch on the map along the coast can take longer than expected.

    Pictou Ferry
  • Tip Rating:
  • I departed Nova Scotia the same way I arrived: in my truck on a ferry.

    This one technically departs from Caribou, near Pictou, and sails to Prince Edward Island

    The Cat
  • Tip Rating:
  • I got a great ride on 'The Cat', a high speed catamaran that races back and forth between Bar Harbor, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The ride takes 2 3/4 hours, I clocked us at about 44mph with my GPS.

    Get piped into Nova Scotia!
    When we drove into Nova Scotia from New Brunswick in August 1991, there was a bagpiper at the tourist information place right by the boundary.
