Bay of Fundy Whale Watching: Where Giants Dance

🌊 Bay of Fundy Whale Watching: Where Giants Dance The moment a 15-meter humpback whale glides beneath your boat—its shadow stretching like a living island—you’ll forget to breathe. Welcome to the Bay of Fundy, where 12 species of whales feed, breach, and flirt in the world’s highest tides. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a front-row seat to nature’s most majestic ballet. 🐋 Meet the Cast 1. Humpback Whales: • Signature Move: Tail-slapping (lobtailing) to stun fish. • Fun Fact: Each tail’s pattern is unique—like a whale fingerprint. 2. North Atlantic Right Whales: • Rarity: Only 350 left (spotting one is like finding a unicorn). • ID Trick: Look for callosities (white barnacle patches) on their heads. 3. Minke Whales: • The “Cheetahs” of the Sea: Speed demons who love showing off. 4. Bonus Stars: • Porpoises: Tiny, fast, and obsessed with bow-riding. • Ocean Sunfish: Weird floating pancakes that baffle biologists. 🚢 How to Whale-Watch Like a Pro 1. Best Tours: • Brier Island Whale & Seabird Cruises: Small zodiacs = closer encounters. • Ocean Explorations: Biologists on board = nerdy-but-cool commentary. 2. Timing is Everything: • July-October: Peak season (whale buffet time!). • High Tide: More whales near shore (check tide tables). 3. Gear Up: • Layers: Fundy winds cut like a knife. • Zoom Lens: 70-200mm is ideal (but iPhones work too). • Seasickness Pills: Trust us. 📸 Capturing the Magic • Breach Shot: Set camera to burst mode (whales jump without warning). • Tail Tales: Wait for the fluke-up dive—it’s their goodbye wave. • Silhouette Trick: Shoot against the sunset for dramatic black-and-white. 💙 Why This Changes You • The Sound: A whale’s exhale is a 10-foot geyser of fishy mist (you’ll taste it). • The Scale: Their flippers are as long as your car. • The Lesson: Humans are very small. #WhaleSoulmates #FundyMagic #MaritimeWonder #HumpbackLove #SaltwaterTherapy
