Each trip is different and you never know what you're going to see.

In 1995 and again in 1996, Pirate's Cove Whale Cruises documented the first ever sighting of a Blue Whale in the Bay of Fundy! Other past sightings have included Sperm Whales, Pilot Whales, a Beluga Whale, a small pod of Orcas and Sea Turtles. We have also sighted some not so common visitors to the Bay of Fundy in the past. Over half of that population comes to the Bay of Fundy each summer.Īlso commonly seen are Atlantic White Sided and White Beaked Dolphins, Harbor Porpoise, Grey and Harbor Seals, Basking Sharks and a wide variety of seabirds. The Right Whale was hunted nearly to extinction back in the whaling days and still only has a population of approximately 400 animals. You can expect to see any or all of the following species of whale: Humpback Whale, Fin Whale, Minke Whale, and the rare North Atlantic Right Whale. As you depart Tiverton and enter the Bay of Fundy, you will pass Boars Head Lighthouse, a working lighthouse on the northern tip of Long Island. Humpback, Fin and Minke Whales are often found within a few miles of Tiverton, but we sometimes need to travel further, depending where the whales are feeding. A typical cruise will last from 3-4 hours, depending on how far we have to go to see the whales. Departure times are 10am, 1pm, and a 5pm sunset cruise added upon demand.
