Fun way to spend Halloween - We went on the haunted boat trip for Halloween. It was entertaining and fun, but definitely not spooky. Would recommend this if you want some interesting information about Galveston presented in a unique way.

A Hauntingly Perfect Evening on Galveston’s Haunted Harbor Tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I can’t recommend the Haunted Harbor boat tour in Galveston enough — it turned out to be one of the most memorable evenings I’ve had in town. From the moment we boarded at Pier 21 after sunset, the atmosphere felt just right: the gentle rocking of the boat, darkness creeping in over the water, and the distant glow of lights against the shoreline. The guides were fantastic: knowledgeable without sounding like a lecture, charming with a hint of dramatic flair. Their stories of shipwrecks, old legends, hurricane tragedy, and restless spirits were spooky and engaging without being over-the-top scary. They wove local history into the ghost tales in a way that made you care about the people behind them. The boat itself was clean and comfortable, with just enough ambient hush to let you feel the chill of a good ghost story. I appreciated that the tour balanced the eerie with humor — there were moments that made us all laugh, even as we leaned forward to hear what might lurk around the next corner of the harbor. What I loved most: • The setting. There’s something magical about gliding through the dark waters of Galveston harbor, hearing creaking legends about old ships and storms, with the bay breeze blowing in. • The narrators. Their delivery was smooth and personable. You could tell they’d done this many times, but they still sounded excited by the tales. • The pacing. It wasn’t rushed. There was enough time to take in the water, the skyline, and the hush of the night between stories — which made the scares more effective. • The little extras. The hints of local lore (haunted buildings, the 1900 storm, strange sightings) felt authentic, not just generic ghost-tour fodder. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this tour is a must-do for anyone who wants to experience Galveston after dark in a different way. Spooky, atmospheric, and full of personality — I left wanting to grin and shiver at the same time. If you like history + ghost stories + being on the water at night, don’t miss this one.

Fun and entertaining! - We were a family of 9 (ages ranging 10-49) on this and we all had an amazing time! Not only was the boat ride beautiful at night but we learned some fun facts and Captain Ben made it super fun and entertaining. So glad we booked this adventure.
