ute_fan Posted August 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I've scheduled a whale watching trip for late September (week of 9/22). Is that still a good time of year for whales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomAndJane Posted September 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Last year we were on a cruise from 9/13 to 9/23. We saw whales every day but we were looking for them (Spent a lot of time looking at the water, etc instead of doing the ships activities). Friends of our took the Whale watching tour in Halifax and they said it was a waste of time. The boat went very slow out of the harbor for about 45 minutes, pulled up a lobster trap and then turned around. I am not saying that you will not see whales but at this time of year, most of the humpbacks are usually making their way south. I am sure that Minkes will still be in the area and a lot of dolphins. If you take the time and know what you are looking for, I am sure that you will be able to see whales from the ship as well. As I mentioned, last year we saw whales every day. The first day out (I was up at day break when I saw them), there were a group of humpbacks moving south all together. After about 10 minutes of watching them, three or four of them starting breaching. Quite a sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
