Watching Whales (and other sea mammals and birds)

Marine mammals abound in the summer waters off northern Cape Breton, and opportunities for viewing these magnificent creatures take various forms.

With Sea Spray’s outdoor activity packages our clients are introduced to Humpbacks, Sei whales, Minke whales or the large Fin whales on boat tours conducted by our partner skippers, either in Zodiacs or Cape islander vessels.

At Sea Spray we try to put you into the environment that we love so deeply.  It’s just coincidence that the wildlife is there as well.

Contact Us for additional information.

Additionally, during our outdoor activity tours clients:

• Count pods of pilot whales from the high cliffs on a road or mountain bike tour;
• Thrill to the sight of twenty or more whales as they move alongside on one of our intermediate kayak tours;
• Scan the waves for whales, seals and dolphins from a ringside seat during a lunch break on a hiking tour;
• Thrill to our dive-bombing gannets as they hurtle hundreds of feet through the air, exploding into the sea in chase of the same mackeral being hunted by the whales;
• Be ever-aware of the presence of our large population of bald eagles
