Whale Watching from Eastport

Whale watching can be very enjoyable in the waters out and around East Quoddy Lighthouse at the tip of Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada. Whales may even be spotted closer to Eastport in Friar Roads. You have a choice of vessels.

Harris Whale Watching: Whale watching is a delightful pastime even if you never see whales. The scenic trip through the Old Sow past Cherry Island Light through Head Harbor Passage to East Quoddy Head Lighthouse and in among the Canadian Islands offers many chances to observe the marine life and birds in this area. Seals and seabirds are everywhere, while eagles nest on several islands. In July and August the whale watch captains usually spot one or more species of whales for your enjoyment. The captains are pleased to accommodate your wishes. If you are interested, request a closer look at the salmon pens and/or the herring weirs and/or other interesting sights. Ask questions; they'll be answered. On an exceptionally clear day the Wolves, the cliffs of Grand Manan, and the Nova Scotia skyline will come into view.

Each afternoon at 1:30 the Harris family takes a group on a three hour plus whale watch on their schooner, the Sylvina W. Beal. Call 853-4303 or 853-2500 to make reservations or purchase tickets at either the office at Harris Point Shore Cabins and Motel or at their gift shop and office, 104 Water Street at the head of the Breakwater.

Take along your own food and beverage and other supplies.
