Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Set off on an exhilarating adventure when you board a whale-watching zodiac and sit in your own chair with Seaspension shock absorbance, which assures a smoother ride. The captain will steer the boat into the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides, and sail among islands and passages where tidal currents are strong. Have your camera ready. 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. Watch for eagles and seabirds, as well as seals and porpoises, who take advantage of these rich feeding areas. With a 90% to 100% success rate of sighting whales, you're sure to see wildlife, but sightings are not guaranteed. Following your expedition, you'll have time to explore St. Andrews with its quaint shops and restaurants before returning to port.

Special Notes:

Minimum age is 9 years old. Maximum weight is 275 lbs. All guests will be fitted with and are required to wear flotation suits. There are 50 steps to board the whale watching boat. Please dress in layers with warm clothing, as there can be a significant temperature drop on the open Bay of Fundy. You may be splashed.

Please remember that the Bay of Fundy is a wild and natural environment and the wildlife within, travel and feed on their own schedule. While there is a 90-100% success rate of sighting whales, they cannot be guaranteed.
