60-minute relaxing, guided tours in and around Halifax’s beautiful harbour on an all-electric boat.

It’s hard to believe we’re celebrating 7 years of Halifax Harbour Tours! We started with a simple goal: to offer a cleaner, quieter way to experience the water.

Seven seasons later, we’re still proud to lead the way in zero-emission cruising. Join us aboard the Violet Mac for Halifax's only all-electric tour, where the only soundtrack to the city skyline is the sound of the waves and conversation.

Halifax Harbour Fact of the Month:

Our harbour is one of the deepest natural, ice-free harbours in the world, about 18m deep at low tide! That’s why ships like the Symphony of the Seas and the CMA CGM Marco Polo (nearly four football fields long) can dock right here in Halifax.

You might see them up close on our Eco Tour, gliding past Pier 21 while we cruise quietly alongside. Big ships, small boats - one incredible harbour.

Meet Captain Colin, the steady hand and friendly face behind many of your Halifax Harbour Tours.

He’s been guiding guests for over seven years, curating our most-loved routes and sharing stories that bring the harbour to life. From finding the best spot for a sunset to keeping an eye out for curious seals, Colin makes every trip feel special.

Here’s to many more voyages together, thanks for steering our story, Captain!

Thank you for another unforgettable season!

From calm morning sails to glowing sunset tours, you made 2025 one to remember.

Whether it was spotting seals near McNabs Island or watching the skyline light up at dusk, Halifax, you showed up and made magic on the water.

We’ll miss these moments but can’t wait to be back in 2026! Stay tuned for stories and local harbour highlights all winter long.

Meet “The Wave”, Halifax’s Iconic Waterfront Sculpture

If you’ve ever strolled the Halifax waterfront, chances are you’ve seen, or climbed, The Wave. Commissioned by the Halifax Waterfront Development Corporation and created in 1988 by local artist Donna Hiebert, this 3.6-metre ferroconcrete sculpture has become one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.

Inspired by the natural motion of the harbour and coated in the same sandy mortar used on the Sydney Opera House, its grey-blue surface invites passers-by to touch, explore, and connect with art in a truly maritime way.

Kids (and kids at heart) still run up its curving back to take in the harbour view before snapping that perfect waterfront selfie.

Don’t forget to take your own photo with The Wave on your way to come visit our Halifax Harbour Tours kiosk just behind it! While you’re there, book a relaxing cruise aboard Halifax’s only all-electric boat and see the harbour that inspired this iconic piece of art from a whole new perspective.
