Whale Watching

Nothing can quite prepare you for the moment when a whale breaches the ocean’s surface, lunges out of the water, and re-enters with a loud smack and plume of water… but we guarantee you that it certainly is one of those moments that you will never forget!

Summer and fall are the best times to go whale watching in Nova Scotia, From the Bay of Fundy to the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, be sure to book ahead to find yourself aboard a whale watching tour with a guide sharing lively commentary and local tales as you watch for any of the 12 species of whales that make Nova Scotia their summer home each year.
