Mid June, I booked a guided kayak tour and had a wonderful time. The trip was about an hour and a half (exactly as advertised) and Kate, my guide, a local university student and pro paddler (including tow and rescue skills, should we run into a problem!) was so skilled, pro, friendly and informative. I had been in a kayak on just one occasion before this event, in a different setting (pond), and had some basic skills/comfort level but hadn't been in the Halifax Harbour before! The kayak loading dock was a really great device that made getting in and setting off super easy. Kate sussed out what I and the other person on the tour knew and then could tailor information (both kayaking and touristy) to our levels. I liked the ratio of guide to paddlers -- that was both friendly and seemed very safe, which I am all about. You could tell Kate was subtly keeping a watchful eye on us to make sure we kept together and were doing well. In a lovely conversational way Kate shared information about the Halifax waterfront, harbour traffic and the history of McNab's Island as we paddled around it. It was a steaming hot sunny day in Halifax and this was just the perfect way to spend a morning! Thank you to Kate for an experience I will savour for a long time.

We went on the George’s Island Tour . It was good but not quite as advertised. Definitely show up early, as suggested, as it is a busy spot. No dry bags provided despite information on website. Also, you have to leave your bag in a generaL box which doesn’t seem super secure given how many people are around. I brought my valuables in the kayak as I had my own dry bag just in case. But my backpack alone is expensive if someone else picked it. We went on our tour with Kate and she was excellent. We kayaked for about 40 minutes to the island. We thought our tour included a tour on the island but we were on our own for the whole hour. Also, we were supposed to get a snack box at the end of the island exploration. But there was a mix-up so no snack. We then kayaked for about 40 more minutes up to the bridge.
Because we got no snack, they paid for an ice cream when we got back to the dock. That was a nice surprise.

We did the George’s Island Kayak Tour on Saturday June 25th, 2022. We happened to be the only two on the tour (in a double kayak), along with our tour guide Austin. Austin was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour a highlight of the trip. A must-do tour for anyone visiting the Halifax harbour! Not only did we get to tour George’s Island, but Austin took us down Halifax docks to see the Canadian Navy putting a submarine in the water!

I had a kayak tour with Jenna. She was the perfect combination of relaxed in order to go with the flow, combined with clear with directions to keep us safe with all the larger boats. We had wonderful conversation including a lot of interesting Halifacts. (Info. and history about Halifax, of course.) I really enjoyed it.

Today I went on a guided Sea-doo rental and it was the highlight of my entire summer! Highly recommend checking out this place. The staff was so friendly! This was my first time on a seadoo and I was very nervous at first. The young lady walked me through an entire safety checklist. After the safety session I felt super comfortable and ready for my experience. They also have safety systems in place to automatically reduce speed in certain situations to keep renters safe. UNBELIEVABLE! I have never seen this before. I had a blast! This place deserves 5 out of 5 stars, they exceeded my expectations entirely.

Lots of fun! My partner and I shared a seadoo and had a blast. If you are planning to take turns driving I would recommend 2 hours. We only did 1 hour and I definitely could have kept riding. Everything was well explained, I felt very safe and confident even though I'm not from here.

Kate was one of the best tour guides we had on our entire trip. She was so kind, knowledgeable, relatable, and a conversationalist. We thought for sure our outing was doomed due to fog but she got excited and eased our worries! 10/10 recommend!

I am so impressed by this company and this tour. Myself and and some friends did the sunset harbour tour in kayaks. No one had previous kayaking experience. Our guide - Mary- was charming, professional, and very skilled. This is a great local company- and I can’t wait to try the sea doo tour next. Thank you Omar and Mary and team!!
