Cetacean species: fin whale.
Other wildlife seen: harbour seal, grey seal.
Best time to go: July to September.
Note: tours leaving from the Bay of Fundy side of Nova Scotia would be more productive - I was in Canada as a conservation volunteer rather than as a tourist on this occasion.
My passion for travelling the world to watch wild mammals started with a whale-watching trip to the Bay of Fundy in 1999. Since then I've seen over 30 different species of cetacean (whale, dolphin and porpoise) in almost 30 locations around the world. A successful whale-watching trip depends on being in the right place at the right time with the right operator, so I've made this blog to share my experiences and help others plan their travels.
