Whale watch adventure:

Due to the strength of the tide, the Bay acts as a vast nutrient pump for the rest of the Gulf of Maine, sending its waters whirling out past Grand Manan Island to mix in the Gulf of Maine current. It is around Grand Manan Island that one can see the great whales cavort in the early fall each year.

The best whale watch cruises can be taken from various locations in Digby Neck. Each cruise into the Bay of Fundy is unique, you may see beautiful and acrobatic humpback whales and their calves either feeding on herring or krill or basking in the warm sun. You may also see them breaching, or breaking the waters surface as they perform their graceful water acrobatics. Also there are sightings of finwhales, which are the largest whales we have in the Bay, measuring up to 80 feet long! Minke whales are also a frequent sighting in the Bay as well as harbor porpoise, Atlantic white sided dolphins, and occasional pilot whales.
July and August, we are visited by the endangered North Atlantic right whale, the Bay of Fundy is a courtship area for these whales as well as a major feeding ground. In addition to whales you may also see a variety of pelagic seabirds including North Atlantic puffins, kitty wakes, great blue herons, sooty and manx shear waters, phalarope, gannets and much more!
