This is our second time and we had a great time this year again with the crew. Despite the fact that we were a little late as we had issues on the way coming they waited for us. Brennan and his wife are so adorable and very great with the people, they really take their time to make us have the best experience ever. We were able to see whales, seals, jellyfish and porpoise and the highlight ,was a very large shark. The boat was very clean with lots of space for moving around . Brendan is an awesome captain of the boat, they’re all so informative and knowledgeable about what they do and this time se wanted our Dad to have a wonderful experience which he did. we had an awesome time, I would definitely do it again. And guess what he offered us some really big pieces of crabs 🦀 which we enjoyed back home for dinner. Would recommend using Full Tide Ocean Safaris for your next Whale Watch Adventure

The boat ride itself was enjoyable and gave us wonderful views of the surrounding ocean and coastline. The guides were attentive and helped us understand more about the marine life and the area. Everyone on board was excited and respectful while watching the animals, which made the experience feel even more meaningful.
The moment the orca appeared was definitely the highlight of the trip. Seeing it moving through the water was breathtaking, and it was amazing to experience wildlife in such a natural setting rather than seeing it in captivity. The combination of ocean views, fresh air, and unexpected wildlife sightings made the outing feel like a genuine adventure.

We had our tour today and this tour was lovely. Our Captain was Brennan, who comes from generations of lobster fishing, so he was very knowledgeable about the waters and surrounding landmarks.
I highly recommend this tour as it's much smaller than other boats we saw, lots of room to move about on the boat and view the waters.
Brennan and his assistant (forgot his name) were friendly, with lots to say!
We are able to see Minke whales, seals and jellyfish.
AND you get to take a free ferry ride over to the island which is a cool experience if you don't normally get to do that!

We had a lovely experience with Captain Brendan at Full Tide Ocean Safaris in the Bay of Fundy. Brendan was a wonderful captain, told a lot of jokes and made the voyage very enjoyable! The ride was comfortable and he was extra engaging with the children in our family group of 12. Communication was quick and clear with his wife Colleen by email. Cash only or direct transfer from Canadian bank so plan for an ATM trip. These are truly nice people who are doing this because it brings them joy!

In the 3 hours we were out on Brendan's boat we spotted about five whales. Not only did we see the whales, we also saw about five sea lions right next to the boat having fun sticking their heads out of the water looking at us and playing in front of us. We also spotted about half a dozen porpoise and the highlight ,was a very large shark. The boat was very clean with lots of space for moving around . Brendan is an awesome captain of the boat, very friendly and we had an awesome time, I would definitely do it again. Would recommend using Full Tide Ocean Safaris for your next Whale Watch Adventure
