My nine year old and I enjoyed the Whales and Trails and package. We thoroughly enjoyed Greg's knowledge and hand's on approach. He easily engaged my active daughter and had her help him with a few tasks. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone...MoreWe are very happy the Whales, Trails and Periwinkle Tales package worked well for you! It was easy to interact with your daughter who was so interested in everything. Thank you for the nice review.

Halifax Central Library

Reviewed By Mort S - Halifax, Canada

Nice modern design of the physical plant. The interior is open and airy and most unlike Libraries of yesteryear. The upstairs area has a great spot for kids to play and is a destination in and of itself if one needs a break in other activities while in the downtown core. Well thought out and very engaging space.

Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

Reviewed By travelcato - Toronto

Ok.. there is no reason to miss Peggys cove. Great spots for photos and really scenic. The restaurants are a tad touristy and over priced, but it isnt filled with McDonalds and commercial crap like towns in the USA.
This is what Cap Cod should have become.

Shubenacadie Canal

Reviewed By svale87 - Sunnyvale, California

Conveniently located just a short walk from the Hampton Inn at Dartmouth Crossing. We were delighted to be able to walk over and enjoy a morning walk before heading to airport for long flight home. Well maintained paths. Interpretive signs in a few places.

Lawrencetown Beach

Reviewed By MelandLuke - Halifax, Canada

This is one of our favourite spots to catch some sun, breath in ocean air and enjoy amazing views. It's perfect for long relaxing walks. Great for everyone from young families with young children and pet owners to photographers looking for the great shot. It's obvious people thoroughly enjoy themselves here. May even be fortunate enough to see kite surfers doing their amazing athletic feats putting on a free show. If you haven't been its for sure worth the visit. Lots of parking as well.

Halifax Public Gardens

This beautiful Victorian-inspired garden has been open to the public since 1875 and remains as one of Halifax's most beautiful and cherished sites.

Reviewed By deborahburke4 - Orpington, United Kingdom

Went to Canada on holiday,last stop was Halifax. It's a treasure of a find,the Gardens were so tranquil and we were there in October so the Autumn colours were just appearing the golden and red hues were so beautiful. Very peaceful Gardens with a reminder of the part played by Halifax attempting to rescue Titanic victims .

Swissair Flight 111 Memorial

Reviewed By Sharon W - Lenoir City, Tennessee

After we left Peggy's Cove and on our way to Hubbard, we stopped at the Memorial. It is only about a half mile from Peggy's Cover and is worth spending a little time there. It is very touching and a beautiful memorial to the people who lost their lives in the crash.

Prim Point Lighthouse

Reviewed By Cate25 - Canada

We had the good fortune to visit this lighthouse both before and after the Friends of Prim Lighthouse Group completed their restoration work. A labour of love and a job well done by this amazing group of volunteers. Worth the short drive from Digby to see the seals, fog roll in, ferry and beautiful views of Digby.

First rate entertainment! We were only expecting military and pipe bands but were entertained with so much more. There was a group of kids on motorcycles from the UK, an aerial artist, first rate singers, and an amazing German group playing music on garbage cans. The number of pipers from Nova Scotia and Australia were amazing. The tributes to the 10th Anniversary of the Halifax Explosion and the Battle of Vimy Ridge were very moving. The Navy Band with the Advanced Boarding Party demonstration were the best. Will definitely go see it again in future years.
