Kids loved this tour. A great way to see the city by land and by harbour.

The tour guide was great, with a mix of history and funny.

We found there were lots of additional fees when booking online.

Definitely the cruise on the river. The entry into the water was fun and our guide was good. Gives a good overview of Halifax.

This tour is like many in other cities; but it is a lot of amphibious fun. It provides lovely views of both the city and the harbour, and the city from the water. We enjoyed it quite a bit. Yes I would recommend it.

Really good tour well worth the cost. We had a great guide very informative. Booked direct from the UK which saved money rather than booking with cruise company. A good and different way to while away an hour.

Visiting Halifax for the first time this was a great way to get to know the history of the city and the current area. Our tour guide was so funny and our captain has been doing this for decades. Will definitely recommend this to my friends and family!

this was a great way to see the city and also it travelled on water so we got a lot of history. It's about 30 minutes on land and 30 minutes on water. The staff are very pleasant and gave lots of history.

Nick was such a fun tour guide. Did this tour with my partner (while visiting the east coast) and we had a great time! Not too long or too short of a tour, very family friendly (for those with kids) and so insightful. Would love to do this again whenever I come back!

Lovely day and weather, great driver, AWFUL PA system. Could not hear a word the host said and he talked really fast. I told him we couldn’t hear or understand a thing and he said it was a new system. Well, I’d say not a good one. I gave three stars because our driver was great and we saw a seal! Recommend getting ear phones for each person. We heard absolutely nothing the host had to say and it’s a shame as we were touring the city.

This duck boat tour was perfect - gave us a land tour through the city and all the historical sites. Then moved into the harbor water and gave us more historical info as we moved through the harbor. The tour guide was a college student and very informative. Would recommend!

Abby — the Abby still employed with Harbour Hopper as of October 2022 — is awesome and made our tour incredible! Mark was also awesome. Please get Abby a Harbour Hopper long sleeve jacket — it’s cold out there! Also give her a raise. She deserves it. I am going to recommend everybody I know who visits Halifax to seek out Abby’s Harbour Hopper tour. 10/5.
