Halifax, Nova Scotia is a wonderful city to visit and offers much to do for the tourist. Many come for a variety of outdoor pursuits, including the opportunity to head out on the ocean in a lobster boat.The experience of pulling up a lobster trap while aboard the boat and then later enjoying a meal of your catch is available when you visit Halifax during the summer months and the lobster season is open.
On some trips, you'll get a guided tour of Halifax Harbour and some education about the life-cycle of the lobster. There may even be naturalists aboard that can answer most of the questions you might have.
If lobster is not your thing but you'd still love to get out on the ocean, you could book one of the deep sea fishing excursions available that sail out of the port of Halifax. Species of fish that are targeted include cod, haddock, mackerel and blue fish.
If you're looking for something that the whole family will enjoy, consider whale watching. You can head out of Halifax Harbour to the open sea while the ship captain guides the craft toward pods of whales as well as seals and dolphins.
You will definitely want to have your camera available! Other day trips include visiting islands off the coast of Nova Scotia where you may be able to view wildlife such as puffins on Bird Island.
If you enjoy fly fishing, consider casting some flies to shark that are cruising the Atlantic Ocean. Saltwater fly fishing is one of the fastest growing sports and going for shark could be the thrill of a lifetime.
If you are planning to venture out to see, be sure to bring a long a warm sweater and rain jacket even in the summer as the weather can change quickly. You'll want to be comfortable no matter the weather to really enjoy your trip.
