Across the bay for lobster
Halls Harbour Boat Tour
- Duration 2.5 hours
- Group size 4–8
- Difficulty easy
- Season May to October
A crossing to the working fishing village of Halls Harbour, with time ashore at the wharf and the Lobster Pound, then a tour of Spencers Island from the water on the way home.
Depart from Spencers Island and take a trip across the Bay of Fundy to the small fishing village of Halls Harbour. Get out and explore the wharf and stop into the Halls Harbour Lobster Pound and Restaurant for a bite to eat, or pick up fresh lobster to cook later.
On the way back, you get a full tour of Spencers Island from the water — a significant geosite within the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark.
Along the route you will hear what it is like to work these waters as a lobster fisherman, and learn about the geology that makes this stretch of coast so unusual.
