"We did the Happy Hour Cruise during our visit to Halifax. Pricing was super reasonable for tickets and drinks considering it's a touristy thing. Live musician was awesome!! Shout out Party Marty!! He really turned a scenic boat ride into a fantastic core memory. The whole boat crew was lovely as well :) Wish I had taken more pictures but I was so wrapped up in the experience. 100% recommend!"
