Tour en ferry de ida y vuelta a la isla Georges
Descripción
Georges Island tiene una rica historia. Fue parte del "Complejo de Defensa de Halifax" desde mediados del siglo XVIII hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los paneles interpretativos y las guías comparten una historia fascinante desde la antigüedad, cuando los Mi'kmaq llegaron a Kjipuktuk, el "Gran Puerto", hasta la llegada de los británicos en 1749, el encarcelamiento de los acadianos durante la Deportación de 1755-63, y hasta la protección de la ciudad durante las Guerras Mundiales. Podrá unirse a una visita guiada por los túneles subterráneos en la isla cortesía de Parks Canada. Los viajeros podrán ver parte del paseo marítimo de Halifax, uno de los paseos marítimos urbanos más largos del mundo que se extiende a lo largo de la línea de costa: 4 kilómetros (2,5 millas).

The tour given by the young lady, was very informative and had a great pace. Such good way to be educated.
Always amazing. The guides are great. Best view of Halifax you will find. Very well maintained. Highly recommended
Great little excursion! Lots of history, nice walk, and beautiful views of the city. We had a great time! Even if you just take the ferry across and then back, it's worth it
It was a great trip to the Island. The things they should elaborate on is the check in isn’t at 1715 Lower Water Street. It is right next to the cows ice cream shop on the water front. That address is also on the ticket. Eliminate the 1715 address. The other thing is I wish the tour ad explained that you can spend as much or as little time on the island. The boat comes and goes throughout the day dropping off and picking up.
Worked out well two seniors, daughter and two grandchildren ages four and nine. They loved the treasure hunt. We managed through the tunnels just fine. Recommend good footwear and make sure you bring water and snacks.
Perfect adventure with my 5 yr old grandson. Everything about it was terrific. Just the right length of time and scale for a wonderful morning adventure right in the city. Boat ride was great, George’s Island is gorgeous, and the tour of Fort Charlotte was engaging and informative. We loved it all.
This was a great experience for our family! The ferry is quick and easy and staff were great. The island itself was beautiful and the informational plaques throughout were very helpful. The guided tour of the tunnels was excellent and taught us a lot!
Expect what you expected as far a knowledge, professionalism and wonderful atmosphere. Nnilah was the best we could ask for as far as all the above. the kindness that she showed and family feeling did nto go un noticed. we were comfortable fro the get go.
Well organised, pleasant ferry ride around island before docking, interesting place and guides explained well
Took ferry and walked the island self guided for most of it but a guide took Us im the tunnels. Pretty neat to see!
