Halifax is an ideal base from which to discover the delights of Nova Scotia, but organizing transportation and sightseeing independently takes time and effort.

Help hoist the sails as you take a ride on the Tall Ship Silva. An afternoon cruise on the Halifax Harbour on this 130’ schooner is complete with the opportunity to join the crew manning the sails, tying knots or even taking a turn at the helm! If you prefer, you can sit and watch the action while taking in the history and Maritime beauty of Halifax.

On this Harbour Hopper tour, you'll travel on both land and water aboard a nifty, renovated amphibious Vietnam War vehicle. The unconventional method of transportation gives you an overview of some of Halifax's key landmarks: First, drive by St Paul’s Cathedral, Citadel Hill and Halifax Public Gardens, then splash into Halifax Harbour for panoramic views of the waterfront.

On this tour you'll explore the Mersey River (one of the most beautiful places in the park to paddle, in my opinion). Rendezvous at the Whynot Adventure HQ (Jake's Landing) 15 min before the tour is set to start. We have a large parking lot situated just before you arrive at our location on the river. We recommend bringing a camera as this tour is full of wildlife photography options (I know you're thinking moose and bears, but in Keji we specialize in turtles, giant bullfrogs, muskrat, beavers and white-tailed deer, oh and sometimes a swimming squirrel). On this guided tour you might learn about 'Keji tea' or hear the legend of Jim Charles' Gold, while paddling your canoe or kayak up the river with intermittent stops to take in the magic and learn about some of Keji's secrets. This tour is an 'out n'back' so you'll get to enjoy the gentle current on the way back to Jake's Landing.

Come ashore and explore the oceanside city of Halifax on foot during this half-day guided walking tour that reveals architecture, East Coast culture, landmarks, and more.

Visit one of Canada’s most recognizable landmarks: Peggy’s Cove, during a half-day excursion to that includes a tour through the city of Halifax. Come ashore and discover this seaside city’s maritime culture, history, and sights. Visit a tiny East Coast community before heading down the coast to Peggy’s Cove to climb on the devonian granite rock formations under the lighthouse at the ocean’s edge.

The best part of this tour is the down-home hospitality Sam tries to deliver with every ride. There is no real set schedule, so we have a bit more flexibility in how we do things. Sam will help you from the time you first write to the time she hugs you goodbye at the last stop and beyond if you're traveling to anywhere else that she is familiar with. Get to know other travelers and share once in a lifetime experiences along the way.
