Excursão de balsa de ida e volta para a Ilha Georges
Descrição
A Ilha Georges tem uma história rica. Fazia parte do "Complexo de Defesa de Halifax" de meados do século 18 até a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Painéis e guias interpretativos compartilham uma história fascinante desde os tempos antigos, quando os Mi'kmaq chegaram a Kjipuktuk, o 'Grande Porto', à chegada dos britânicos em 1749, à prisão de acadianos durante a deportação de 1755-63 e à a proteção da cidade durante as guerras mundiais. Você poderá participar de uma visita guiada aos túneis subterrâneos da ilha, cortesia do Parks Canada. Os viajantes poderão ver parte do calçadão de Halifax, que é um dos calçadões urbanos mais longos do mundo, abrangendo toda a extensão da orla - 4 quilômetros (2,5 milhas).

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.
