Took a water taxi out to McNabs Island, from Fisherman’s cove. What a fun island to explore and walk around for the day. Definitely recommend this spot as a fun activity with kids, friends or even solo!

This was a fun little island to explore. Docking was easy and the island only had a handful of people. The beach is nice and there is an outhouse for your connivence if needed. We didn’t explore too much but I’ll definitely go again and check out more.

I did this tour back in this summer. The price for this tour was good, including a good boat ride which was a bit longer than expected. The tour of the island itself was extremely informative, and provided plenty to see. The group was a good mix of age as well so it wasn't juts myself and "older people" which helped. I'm not sure if I'd do this again, but the old buildings and forts were lovely, and I'd strongly recommend this if you haven't done it already.

The island has some brilliant views and excellent, lush greenery. The tranquil trails and the crashing waves made for a great afternoon. :) Carry all the water, food and items that you will need.

It's a fun island to explore – lots of history on it. I've been leading photo meets every April for the last five years on the island, taking large groups of photographers. The main takeaway I always hear is "how is this so close to Halifax and no one talks about it?"
