Halifax Waterfront Walking Tour

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

The Halifax Waterfront Walking Tour explores how the city’s iconic waterfront has evolved from a historic working harbour into the vibrant heart of Downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. This guided walking tour blends past and present, revealing the stories that shaped the city and continue to define it today. Along the route, you’ll see a blend of old and new architecture, notable monuments and public art while learning about pivotal moments such as the Halifax Explosion and Halifax’s connection to the Titanic tragedy. Highlights include Cable Wharf and its role in early transatlantic communication, Pier 21 - Canada’s gateway for millions of immigrants and views of Georges Island, a strategic and historic presence in the harbour. Inspired by our company’s roots in guided walking tours nearly 40 years ago, this experience reintroduces a thoughtful, engaging way to explore Halifax - whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering the city you know.
