Excursion en ferry aller-retour vers l'île Georges
Description
L'île Georges a une riche histoire. Il faisait partie du « Halifax Defence Complex » du milieu du XVIIIe siècle à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Des panneaux d'interprétation et des guides racontent une histoire fascinante depuis les temps anciens, lorsque les Mi'kmaq sont arrivés à Kjipuktuk, le « Grand Port », jusqu'à l'arrivée des Britanniques en 1749, jusqu'à l'emprisonnement des Acadiens lors de la Déportation de 1755-1763, et jusqu'à la protection de la ville pendant les guerres mondiales. Vous pourrez participer à une visite guidée des tunnels souterrains de l'île gracieuseté de Parcs Canada. Les voyageurs pourront voir une partie de la promenade d'Halifax qui est l'une des plus longues promenades urbaines au monde s'étendant sur toute la longueur du front de mer - 4 kilomètres (2,5 milles).

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!
