Breakaway Canada/New England Shore Excursions

[Sunshineandseadays]

Sailing on the Breakaway on 8/17 and wondering what are the most recommended shore excursions for Saint John and Halifax?

Thanks for any insight.

Go have yourself a really fine lobster lunch at a restaurant in Halifax.

We're doing the Hop on Hop off in Saint John.  I personally found the reversing rapids -- which is mostly what the town is known for -- underwhelming.  

 

In Halifax, we're doing Lunenborg...but I've been to Hfx several times and there's only so much you want to see.  There's a tour that hits the Titanic Cemetery and the waterfront (the explosion during WWI wiped out half the city.)  I found that a bit morbid but if it's your thing, great.  There was also a foodie tour which I did once.  It was kind of fun, if overpriced.  You could self-curate a couple restaurants/bars for a fraction of the cost.

In St. John’s we are doing the hop on / off also.

Halifax we are renting a car and driving to Peggy’s Cove, then to Lunenburg. We have a long day in port so will have plenty of time.

enting car was cheaper than tours for 4 adults.

Sorry to be picky but it is Saint John. St, John's in in Newfoundland.
