Lunenburg Whale Watching Tours

First off I'd like to say my husband and I really enjoyed our whale watching tour with Lunenburg whale watching tours. It was a really enjoyable boat trip. It was a wonderful way to spend the rest of our evening in Lunenburg. The captain and the guide were extremely funny, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were able to see many porpoise, a minke whale, and got pretty close to a large group of seals. There was alot of beautiful views. Able to ride past the ovens park sea caves was nice. We did walk that trail, but it was a different view from the water for sure.

My one and only complaint is that the boat was packed. I'd say there was too many people on it for everyone to enjoy themselves. We had a good spot, but if anything was on the opposite side of the boat we were unable to see.

All in all we definitely enjoyed our evening out. But for anyone really wanting to get out whale watching and get good pictures this might not be it. And it was hard for the kids on the boat to see also. Unless the boats are not usually packed full of people like this, I can't say it's always this way I suppose. Just something for the owners to take into consideration I guess.

Thank you for our evening boat ride however. We definitely did enjoy it!

Good experience and the skipper was really nice. 3 hours is just a bit too long. I think 2h would be a better length. Also, maybe more seats in the back, so you can be sitting while watching instead of through the windows.
Boat has a washroom on board and they sell drinks.
Bring a sweater, even if it's 40C because it will get COLD and you will get wet.

We had an amazing experience after deciding last minute to go. We were so thankful they still had room on the boat. All the staff were super nice and friendly. Tyler was super knowledgeable and great sense of humour. We knew going out that we may not see anything but were so delighted when we saw over 10 whales and a couple dolphins. Great few hours out in the ocean on a beautiful evening. Really enjoyed the boat ride as well. I managed to snap a few pics but my husband got better ones on his big camera. Even if you don't see anything it was worth the boat ride. Thanks again!!

Depending on the waters it may be a bumpy ride. Caution that you may get slightly wet. Bring a sweater or jacket with you as the windchill makes it chilly.

Keep your eyes peeled for whales. Saw 4 on my outing, but they can move fast.

No whales to see but you should never go on these tours expecting to see wildlife - they are on their own mission. BUT the ride was fantastic. The captain toured us though some very scenic areas including The Ovens caves and some cool spots where the locals surf. Shipmate Ty did his best to entertain and provide relevant local information and history. I just loved being on the water. Don't forget the sunscreen. Expect to be gone 2.5 ro 3hrs in good weather.
