Overview

  • Step onto Halifax's famous waterfront boardwalk at your own pace, guided by local storyteller André Piper. 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 Nazi gold hidden in wartime warehouses, a Princess Diana scandal that shook the royal press corps, 45 sunken ships beneath the harbour, and a trio of deliberately 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.

Activity itinerary

Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 (Pass by)

Immigration Museum, where nearly one million new Canadians arrived between 1928 and 1971. Browse photos and immersive, 3D displays in the Museum and check with the Scotiabank Family Centre to see if a relative of yours arrived at the Pier.

Halifax Seaport Farmer's Market (Pass by)

Seaport Market, a line of converted warehouses that now include Halifax Farmer's Market, Nova Scotia School of Art, plus several pubs and restaurants. During World War II these warehouses accepted gold bullion from countries overrun by the Nazis. Enemy submarines sunk several ships in the outer reaches of Halifax Harbour but no subs penetrated the inner harbour.

Nova Scotia (Pass by)

Westin Nova Scotian, the eastern terminus of Canada's National Railway and the hotel where Princes Diana hissy fit about her lack of privacy was reported by a feisty local tabloid and caused a worldwide sensation, much to the frustration of the Royal press entourage which had followed guidelines and remained quiet about the storey.

Samuel Cunard Statue (Pass by)

Statue of Samuel Cunard, founder of Cunard Shipping LInes, which pioneered the use of steam engines on trans-Atlantic passenger liners.

Georges River (Pass by)

George's Island, a tiny island in the inner harbour used at times as a jail, quarantine, hospital, defensive fort and tourist attraction.

HMCS Sackville - Canada's Naval Memorial (Pass by)

HMCS Sackville, the last Canadian corvette warship in the world. This ship did heroic battle with two Nazi subs in one 48-hour period.

Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (Pass by)

Maritime Museum, an exhaustve collection of marine displays including refuse from the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and the horrific Halifax Explosion of 1917, the largest man-made explosion in the world before the atomic age. Early Navy practices embodied in gruesome exhibits plus a trove of exhibits on shipbuilding techniques and The Bluenose, the world's fastest fishing schooner built in Lunenburg, about 150 km southwest of Halifax and memorialised with an image on the Canadian dime.
