A hidden gem that's not so hidden. An island right in the middle of the city that has some cool history. Head down to the waterfront or head over to Eastern Passage and grab a taxi boat to McNabs Island. Hike around the island, camp, go for a swim, check out the old fort or family history of the island. A short trip that's totally worth it and not that touristy or busy. A boat taxi will schedule a pick up and drop off time so you don't have to worry about being stranded on an island.

Take a boat ride out from Eastern Passage and walk around this former first line of defense in the middle of the harbour. The cannons are still there, as well as some old houses and bunkers from the fort.

McNabs Island is the largest island in Halifax Harbor. It played a major role in defending Halifax Harbor and is now a provincial park. Accessible by water taxi, pack a picnic a nice way to spend a sunny day.
