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!

Welcome to Murphy’s Cable Wharf

Theodore Tugboat will be travelling around the province and back in Halifax Harbour August 5th. Hope to see you then! Tour Schedule is available here.

Murphy's Cable Wharf is situated at the foot of George Street on the Halifax waterfront. Halifax's largest Tour Boat & Restaurant Operator is a visitor's delight combining nightlife, nature tours, sightseeing, fine dining, tours of historic properties and much more, all in the company of the friendliest people you'll meet! Join us at Murphy's Cable Wharf for a tour of Halifax from the water, a visit to our newly renovated Gift Shop, or dine while enjoying an unparallel harbour view in the new Murphy's Restaurant.
