Description:

Set sail on a voyage to explore the remarkable marine life off the coast of Nova Scotia. With wildlife experts to guide you along the way, get the chance to see massive whales, good-natured dolphins, and wind-riding seabirds as you cruise these abundant waters.

Grab your binoculars and head out into the steel-grey waters of the Atlantic Ocean. With your eyes peeled, look for the characteristic blast of sea spray from mink whales or the dramatic breech of an enormous fin whale. Divert your attention closer to the boat for the chance to catch glimpses of smaller creatures, like slipper seals. As they shake the seawater form their whiskers, snap a photo and listen to your guides explain more about their behavior and habitat. The boat maintains knowledgeable staff—often marine biologists in training—to answer any questions you might have.

As the day continues, check more critters off your list, including tuna, sunfish, and dolphins. In between sightings, feed chattering seabirds and learn how to pull a real lobster trap. Before your return trip to the marina, snap a few photos with the delicious crustaceans and find out the best way to handle them without getting clipped by their curious claws.
