5Amazing - the live music made the tour perfect
Amazing!! The boat ride was lovely but the live music completely made the trip. The musician they had on board was extremely talented and played the perfect songs for the journey. Relaxing and beautiful.
5Schooner Tall Ship sailing Oklahoma was so much fun and exciting with the music and interacting with the staff on
Very professional and so friendly entertainment was amazing and staff were very pleasant and very happy to answer questions
5Wonderful afternoon on the water
We had a wonderful time darling on Silva. I was playing tour guide for some European visits and they really enjoyed themselves as did I, a local who had never been aboard before. The staff were very helpful and friendly and our musical entertainment by Peter Fillman was excellent. They are very talented!
5See the Halifax shoreline.
From the water, this was a great way to see the shoreline of Halifax! The atmosphere was casual, music was good, team was friendly, and a chance to help raise the sails for those who chose to give it try.
3Ok
It was nice but sails were only up for a short time near the end of the excursion. Musician was good. not much in the way of history or local landmarks was given
4Great way to end our holiday
Weather was perfect. Staff were friendly and experienced. Entertainer had a good variety of music

About Halifax
Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, is an Atlantic harbour city of seafaring history, a hilltop citadel and a long waterfront boardwalk.
Halifax was founded in 1749 as a British naval base, and the harbour is still its heart. Citadel Hill, topped by a star-shaped fort, looks over downtown and the water, and a boardwalk of piers, galleries and cafés follows the waterfront. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic covers shipwrecks, the Titanic, whose recovered victims were brought to Halifax, and the great explosion of 1917.
