Descrizione

Georges Island ha una ricca storia. Ha fatto parte del "Complesso di difesa di Halifax" dalla metà del XVIII secolo alla seconda guerra mondiale. Pannelli interpretativi e guide condividono un'affascinante storia dai tempi antichi, quando i Mi'kmaq arrivarono a Kjipuktuk, il "Grande Porto", all'arrivo degli inglesi nel 1749, all'imprigionamento degli Acadiani durante la deportazione del 1755-63, e a la protezione della città durante le guerre mondiali. Potrai partecipare a una visita guidata dei tunnel sotterranei dell'isola per gentile concessione di Parks Canada. I viaggiatori potranno vedere parte della passerella di Halifax, una delle passerelle urbane più lunghe del mondo che si estende per tutta la lunghezza del lungomare - 4 chilometri (2,5 miglia).

Island with many stories.

This is a hidden gem that more people should go and visit! The tour guides were excellent. The tunnels were well kept.

We went on the ferry to the island and we could stay as long as we liked. The history and the buildings were amazing.

The history was amazing and the views were stunning. The ferry staff were friendly and helpful. Our fellow passengers were friendly.

Able and below, an island fort

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!

1st visit to George's Island after living in Halifax for 20 yrs in total over my life

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.
