Embark on a whale-watching sailing excursion from Saint John!
Overview of your Saint John New Brunswick tour
Embark on a whale-watching tour from Saint John on a steel ship from 1989, cruising through the Bay of Fundy as we keep an eye out for porpoises, seals and of course, whales! Spectacular soaring bald Eagles & many other pelagic sea birds feed here too. Since 1995, the ship's experienced Captains & crew have safely & successfully taken over 150,000 people from around the world in whale & wildlife viewing excursions in St Andrews. Its super low emission engine makes travelling in it more environmentally sensitive than most other industry vessels. The world’s highest tides occur twice-daily and stir up a bounty of food in the Bay of Fundy. This attracts several species of whales during the season from June to the end of October. Successful encounters with whales exceed 96% over the past years and report of stomach upset is extremely rare (1 in 3000). Get ready to voyage past sunning sea animals, lighthouses & beautiful landscapes on this wondrous and exhilarating adventure in the spectacular Bay of Fundy.
