     Baleen whales

   Our 3 most common baleen whales are Finback whales,Humpback whales and Minke whales.

   Fin whales are an awesome sight,at 75 ft long, are massive next to our 28 ft long fibreglass hull zodiacs.

   Humpback whales are always a favorite amongst whale watchers,the giant tail seen just feet in front of our zodiacs for awesome photo's is hard to top,and then of course there's the chance of a breach!

    Toothed whales

   Pilot whales are our regular resident tooth whales,and cape breton's friendliest resident whales,they put on an incredible show in large family pods!

   Atlantic white-sided dolphins often steal the show from all the larger whales with speedy acrobatics!
