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 history was amazing and the views were stunning. The ferry staff were friendly and helpful. Our fellow passengers were friendly.
Friendly crew on the ferry, knowledgeable and friendly tour guides on the island. Interesting history to be learned.
I absolutely loved the experience! Very friendly and helpful people! The boat ride was comfortable and the guided tour was very informative!
If you love history this is a go! A short time on the island though well worth it. Would recommend for sure.
Chock full of history, and great access to the tunnels and underground armaments! Affordable excursion and well worth the time spent!
A visit to George’s Island is a must when in Halifax. Both the above- and below-ground fortifications are well worth seeing. Angus, our guide for the underground portion, was well-versed in the history of the island, and was able to answer any and all questions thrown at him!
Very friendly, laid-back & accommodating staff on the boat & the island. Great tunnel tour, full of interesting information. Learned some new things that I hadn't already known (or remembered) from other tours. Like the option to buy a ticket for whatever time suits you, and then stay until the last boat. We stayed for two hours, but nice to know you could extend that if you wished, by going over earlier. Reminder to travellers that there are toilets on the island but no running water, so be sure to bring water (or snacks) if needed.
Short boat ride that circled the island. That was good. Geoges Island was wonderful to see. Not very busy!
Interesting history of the island. Enjoyed the tour of the tunnels, which was about 15 minutes. There is a remaining time was walking around the island. Lots of information.
The trip was amazing. I would highly recommend it. It wasn't over priced like every thing else. Great Job to ambassadors tours for making this an amazing experience.
