Itinerary
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)

About Saint John
Saint John is a historic port city on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, known for its reversing falls, huge tides, covered market and Loyalist heritage.
Saint John stands at the mouth of the Saint John River, where the river meets the Bay of Fundy and its tides, among the highest in the world. At Reversing Falls, the incoming tide pushes through a narrow gorge and for a time forces the river to run upstream. Loyalists arrived from the United States in 1783, and Saint John was incorporated as a city in 1785, one of the oldest in the country.
