Set off on an exhilarating full-day Bay of Fundy Whale Watching Adventure. Begin with a 75-minute guided drive to St. Andrews, a charming resort town on the Bay of Fundy. Here, board a whale watching boat and explore the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides. Sail among islands and passages where tidal currents are strong, and watch for eagles and seabirds, as well as seals and porpoises, which take advantage of these rich feeding areas. Then, enter the open waters to watch for whales. Have your camera ready, as the bay is home to the huge finback and smaller minke whales from late June to October, with the popular humpbacks generally arriving in late summer. While success rates are very high, whale sightings cannot be guaranteed. Following your expedition, you'll have time to explore St. Andrews with its quaint shops and restaurants before returning to Saint John.

Special Notes:

There are 50 steps to board the whale watching boat. Please dress in layers with warm clothing and raingear, as there can be a significant temperature drop on the open Bay of Fundy.
The motorcoach transportation used for this excursion is not equipped with a wheelchair lift. Guests must climb 2-3 steps to get on and off the bus. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility. There are approximately 50 steps on a floating ramp to access the whale watching vessel. Mostly paved even surfaces, with a floating ramp to access wharf that may be slippery when wet.
