Your tour begins as you board Halifax's most popular travel vehicle - a USA military built LARC V locally known as the open-air Harbour Hopper. Enjoy the sights of Halifax while your informative tour guide takes you to four of Halifax's most popular venues. The Halifax Citadel Fortress prominently located in the center of the city overlooks the beautiful harbor. This is a 19th century fort complete with defensive ditch, earthen ramparts, musketry gallery, powder magazine, barracks and much more. You'll reboard the Hopper for a short trip to the Public Gardens, 16 acres of one of North America's oldest and finest Victorian gardens. There you'll have 30 minutes on your own to stroll to enjoy the gardens. Then head to Murphy's Restaurant to enjoy an authentic lunch, which includes a Murphy's signature lobster roll, accompanied with mixed field greens salad and blueberry vinaigrette, completed with Murphy's deep dish apple crisp served with coffee, tea or bottled water. After finishing your meal, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy some of the local shops on the waterfront before a three-minute walk to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. This museum boasts some of the maritime's richest history, with exhibits such as the age of steamships, the Royal Canadian and Merchant Navies, the Halifax Explosion and Nova Scotia's role in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster. After completing the tour, you'll have the option to go back to the cruise ship pavilion in your Hopper or just simply take your time and make your way back on you own. Note: The Hopper is an open-air vehicle and it may get cold, so please dress according to the weather. The order of the stops may change to avoid congestion. If you require an alternative to the seafood lunch, you must advise your Shore Excursion Manager upon boarding your ship.
