North Atlantic Right Whales!!

Hi there folks! Just wanted to give you a quick update on what we have been seeing here at Island Quest. Over the past week wildlife sightings have been PHENOMENAL! The critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whales have moved in from offshore and we have had some amazing sightings with them, as well as Humpbacks, Finbacks AND Minkes! That's all four species of whale that we have here in the Bay of Fundy! Not only have the whale sightings been great but on our 2pm departure we also sighted a thresher shark! AWESOME! Here are some photos taken by our amazing local tour guide, Andrew!

Hot Weather, Finbacks, Minkes and..... HUMPBACKS!

Great news today folks! Island Quest sighted our first Humpback Whale of the 2009 season on our 2pm departure! We had both of our boats out and got to see an amazing show, the humpback lob-tailed multiple times as well as rolled onto its side to give our guests a wave! The weather has been AMAZING in and around the Fundy Isle's and we hope it sticks around for a while. Here are some PHENOMENAL photos taken aboard Fin's & Tail's by my sister, Lindsay! Enjoy!
