Activities and experiences
Fort McNab National Historic Site
Book a 25-minute private ferry or boat ride from downtown Halifax to McNabs Island. A network of old roads and rough trails provide walking access to much of the island. Come prepared with sturdy walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, drinking water, and an all-weather jacket.
