Things to Do in Halifax for an Unforgettable Experience

02 Take a Ferry Ride

Hop on the Halifax Ferry Terminal not far from the boardwalk. Two public ferry services carry residents and visitors to and from the capital city to nearby Dartmouth. The short 15-minute ride proffers several more activities, such as the Shubenacadie Canal, Shubie Park, and the Dartmouth Waterfront. If you want to stay in the harbor, a few private services provide excursions that take visitors by the various piers and George's Island.
