Halifax Harbour Secrets: A Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour

About this activity

Step onto Halifax's famous waterfront boardwalk at your own pace, guided by local guide Stu Ducklow. From the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 — where nearly a million new Canadians arrived between 1928 and 1971 — to the Maritime Museum's Titanic relics and the heroic HMCS Sackville, you'll uncover how gold was shipped here to escape the Nazis in World War II, how Princess Diana caused a scandal in a local hotel, sunken ships at the bottom of the harbour, and a trio of drunken lampposts. GPS-triggered audio starts automatically as you reach each stop. Download once on Wi-Fi before you arrive, then walk offline. The tour is yours to keep — finish in one go or pick it up any time.
