Wrong coast maybe. We went with the dog out of some place in Cape Breton and the experience was as above. Better than that we were in Lewisport NF and rented a small yacht for the day, with crew, for a couple of hundred cash and sailed right into the pod. There doesn't seem to be any sort of whale shortage in the east.

Wonderful pics. I love whale watching and am looking forward to doing some in Canada. Have been to Hermanus in the Cape, South Africa and seen the Southern Right Whales from the rocks right in front of the hotel.

Such amazing animals. Thanks for sharing. ;)

We were lucky to see an enormous pod, I think we were in the middle of them all when one whale decided it would show off :thumbup:.

Also a mum & young whale came up beside us and when they blew their blowholes they were so close we all got soaked!

Unfortunately the pics aren't all that great, my camera is nothing big and the sea was really choppy, thats asides we loved it, my daughter said it was better than Seaworld :wub:.

We visited family in St Johns in Aug 2006 and did some whale watching from my uncles friends boat. Believe it was called the "Scademia" or something simliar from Petty Harbour if I remember correctly. I was something not to be missed. Great Pics.

Have you been to Gros Morne - Western Brooke Pond - we found it awsome viewing and scenery you don't see in St Johns.

Someone told me the Scademia is no longer sailing :(.

We haven't been to Gros Morne as yet, hoping to do that next summer.:thumbup:

What a fantastic trip for you. I would love to see whales in their natural habitat :thumbsup:

Get yourself down to Digby pronto. We went a couple of years ago and have similar pictures. A great day out.

We too went watching whales off Digby neck last September, and saw scenes as pictured.

Fabulous experience, and fabulous photo's, just brought back some happy memories:D
