Just beyond the Halifax Waterfront is an island filled with beaches, wooded trails, military history, coastal scenery and stories waiting to be discovered. A McNabs Island exploration gives groups the opportunity to leave downtown behind and experience a wilder side of Halifax Harbour.
McNabs Island is an ideal destination for visitors who want more than a traditional sightseeing cruise. Once on the island, explore its network of trails and discover landmarks that reveal different chapters of Halifax Harbour’s history, including Fort McNab and Fort Ives. Along the way, you can encounter beaches, historic ruins, remnants of shipwrecks and views toward Maughers Beach Lighthouse. The experience is well suited to active families, groups of friends, history enthusiasts, photographers and visitors looking to add some outdoor exploration to their Halifax itinerary. It can also provide an engaging option for groups seeking an experience that combines time on the water with the freedom to explore on land.
