About
About Halifax Ferry Terminal
The Halifax to Dartmouth crossing has been running since 1752, which makes it the oldest continuously operating saltwater ferry service in North America. It is also, in practical terms, a commuter link: 12 minutes across the harbour, and the fare is the same as a bus ticket.
Alderney is the round-the-clock service, 0.8 nautical miles away with 68 departures and 69 arrivals a week, the first at 00:00 and the last at 23:45. Woodside is the weekday-only one — 0.9 nautical miles, also 12 minutes, 42 sailings in each direction, running from 06:37 to 20:52 and absent from the timetable at weekends.
Halifax Transit runs both from the terminal at the foot of George Street, beside the boardwalk. Anyone planning a Saturday return to Woodside should treat the Alderney boat as the only option, because the second route simply does not sail.
