Saint Andrews

Successful encounters with whales has exceeded 96% the last few years. The classic Tall Ship is a true Bay of Fundy added experience, along with the MINKE and FINBACK WHALES and if it is later July onward, HUMPBACK WHALES and if you are really lucky, the endangered NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES.When you hear someone cry out ‘There she blows!’, then you know a whale has been spotted! They may surface nearby, as sometimes they are as curious of us as we are of them, or they may dive down and surface elsewhere, in which case we will gradually travel over to them within the Regulations of 100 M and without disturbing their feeding pattern. (Ticket for Whale watching is not included)
