Brr! What a beginning to 2015!
2015 has started off with a blast, a blast of cold air! Air temperatures have been hovering around -25°c (-13°f) with water temperatures of around 4°c (39°f).

We have been recapping some of our favourite Island Quest Whale Watching moments from 2014 on our Facebook and Twitter pages and here are just a couple photos!

| Minke whale breaches right beside the Island Quest while whale watching in the Bay of Fundy! |

| A VERY close encounter with a Finback whale from the Island Quest while whale watching from St. Andrews. |
After much deliberation and consulting with our awesome whale watching friends, we had to share these two photos from our 2014 Whale and Wildlife watching season.
The first photo is one in a series of many that was taken that trip. We had a very energetic Minke that wanted to show off for our whale watching guests, breaching in excess of 100 times! Whale watching truly at its best!
The second photo shows the HUGE rostrum (snout) of a large Finback whale (approx. 70 feet) just about to surface within inches of the Island Quest! The fuzzy thing in the bottom left side of the photo is actually a guests head!! Such an unreal experience!
If you want to see the video from this, here is the link to the video on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152249310196432&set=vb.62722301431&type=2&theater
We will be adding more of our favourite moments from the 2014 season here regularly so check back in! :)
Can't wait to see all of you this summer aboard the BEST whale watching boat in New Brunswick - The Island Quest!
Cheers,
Nicole :)
