Whale Watching By Zodiac Adventure

OVERVIEW

Cruise through the Bay of Fundy in a Zodiac boat and look for whales feasting on krill, squid and schools of fish. An extraordinarily scenic drive through the countryside will bring you to the town of Saint Andrews, where you will board a Zodiac and zip off toward the Bay of Fundy. Over the next few hours, you will watch for the abundant marine life that inhabits these waters such as seals, porpoises and whales, including humpbacks, minkes and finbacks. Humpbacks have huge appetites and are named for the way they arch their backs out of the water before diving to feed. Minke whales are much smaller and easy to identify by the white strip across each flipper. Finback whales are the second largest of all whales and have a distinct dorsal fin. Following this exhilarating adventure, you will enjoy free time in Saint Andrews to shop and perhaps enjoy lunch on your own.
