I had no idea what to expect when booking this tour, and if I were to do the cruise over again I would book fewer tours—but this is one I would keep. A very unique experience for Charlottetown! The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. This...More

My amazing tour

Review of: Sunset Chinese Junk Boat Tour In Charlottetown

I had a really lovely time on the boat, the people running it were lovely, the fresh homemade traditional food was amazing was just an all round lovely trip, especially with the sunset. I really enjoyed the music by Tiffany, really lovely people all round.

Dragon Of The Sea! You must do this tour.

This tour is NOT about Charlottetown OR food. I've just seen a couple of 1 star reviews from people who clearly should have just gone on the Harbour Hippo instead and then grabbed something crappy from China Garden on their miserable way home. If you...More
