Whale Watching

Things to See and Do

There is little to prepare you for the thrill of witnessing a whale breaching the ocean surface. Many of Nova Scotia’s best whale watching adventures can be found off the shores of Digby Neck on the Bay of Fundy, and along the beautifully rugged shores of Cape Breton. Many operators guarantee whale sightings, live commentary, and local history.
