Kaleidoscope Travel & Cruise

Article Published: August 17th, 2006

Halifax is a modern port city teeming with culture and heritage and the perfect place for your next holiday vacation. Nature has blessed this area with sandy beaches, rugged shorelines and colorful gardens. This fine location was the site of the first British town in Canada, founded in 1749. Since then, the area has evolved to be home for a diverse mix of people. Charming fishing villages, farming communities and Atlantic Canada’s largest city awaits you. In the heart of the downtown you’ll find art galleries, museums, historic sites and churches, shopping, sidewalk cafés and friendly nightclubs. Lively pubs and entertainment, spectacular shows, first class sporting events, live theatre on both sides of the harbor, wonderful dining and non-stop fun are the ticket to a Halifax experience. If you seek peaceful nature scenes, head out of the downtown for nearby communities offering hiking, camping, and bird watching. Let yourself be romanced by the sea. Everyone is drawn to the ocean the crisp tang of salt air, fresh breezes, and an ever-changing panorama of color and light. Everyone should experience the pleasure of a broad sandy beach, the power of waves crashing against a rocky shore, or the simple pleasure of beachcombing for unexpected treasures from the sea. Stroll the boardwalks and see ships from around the world, watch fishermen at their timeless tasks or sail or kayak among the many islands of the beautiful bays Throughout the year you can enjoy music festivals, live theatre, outdoor concerts, symphony performances and good old fashioned Celtic music. Kaleidoscope Travel & Cruise will be including Halifax in our Maritimes Tour in October of 2007.
