This is a great little tour to do in Charlottetown...it does not take long and it is not overly expensive. Our tour guide, Brandon, was hilarious and made this tour so much fun and full of laughs. This Hippo takes you around downtown and then dives into the water for a harbour tour. Great fun. And, here's some good advice...after... More

What a great experience this tour was. Driving through downtown Charlottetown, learning about all the great history this city has, then going into the water was so cool. We have done this tour 2 times and would go again next time we are on the Island.

We wanted a general guide of Charlottetown and this was very good. The Hippo goes on both land and water so takes you past the main sites in the town and then for a ride in the water.

Getting the best of both worlds (land and water) was a great way to tour Charlottetown. The guide was informative and provided a lot of interesting facts. This was an appropriate start to our stay in PEI. I highly recommend it to everyone! PS. Try the fries from the Queen of Fries next door to the ticket booth.

My girlfriend Allyson and I went on the hippo in June 2011. It was an excellent trip she has lived in Charlottetown her whole life and it was fun even for her! I'm from Alberta and driving around then onto the ocean in the harbor was an cool feeling. Highly recommend this tour for everybody!

We wanted to take a tour of Charlottetown while visiting PEI, and decided the Harbour Hippo fit the bill. Harbour Hippo is an old military landing craft that can go both on water and on land. The tour starts by driving into the Charlottetown Harbor and viewing the sights of the city from that vantage point, including marinas filled with... More
