Fellow Kin, Many day trips are available from the beautiful, historic Halifax Harbour. In order to maximize your Halifax experience this summer, we recommend that you enjoy one or more of these excursions! As all excursions are on a "load and go basis," we will not be scheduling any trips, but we will have all of the information available for you when you arrive. Start by looking at what Murphy's has to offer below. Below that, you will find links to other attractions. We will post other suggestions as the convention approaches! From Tall Ship sailings, Pirate Cruises, nature and whale watching tours, to dinner cruises and deep sea fishing tours, Halifax has it all every day!
