It was great fun, although unfortunately we didn't see as many whales because the season was already over.I can only recommend it, a great, unforgettable experience.

We had a fantastic time with Brandon as our guide. We had a humpback whale circle our boat several times as soon as we got out there...really exciting! The gal who helped us book the voyage (can't remember her name,sorry) gave us great information and prepared us well. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for giving us such a great experience!Roger and Debbie Brancati

Great experience on the Zodiac. Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable without being overly pontificating or entertaining. He let us enjoy being out on the water in the solitude and the excitement of seeing the whales, which we did. This was an adventure everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime.

Where to start... we did the 2 pm watch, which had 12 people but plenty of room on the boat. We saw bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and, of course, whales. Brandon was our captain and did a great job. They provide you with the safety suit to wear. The boat ride was worth the money we spent. The whales were the icing for us.

My husband and I had an amazing day on the water with Fundy Tide Runners! We saw 2 humpback whales, Seals, even got lucky and saw a dolphin and bald eagle! Everyone was fantastic! Great customer service too. We will definitely be back again when in the area!!

We saw 3 different whales, seals, many porpoises, and a bald eagle. I am happy we went on the zodiac rather than a larger boat because on the smaller zodiac, everyone can see the whale no matter what side of the boat they are on, but that isn't as much the case with the larger tour boat options. There wasn't any seasickness by anyone and we didn't get wet. I was prepared with a pouch to keep my phone dry, but didn't need it at all. The guide would stop to look at something if we thought we saw something worth seeing. I would happily go again and recommend this company.

If anyone wants to go Whale watching, I highly recommend doing it by Zodiac boat and this company offered it and decided to try it out. We dressed in floatation suits to keep warm and safe and even though it was a hot day, out there, the winds were cold and kept us warm. Had 9 people, 10 including the captain which was good. Everyone is close to each other so if someone isn't into that, this boat ride isn't for you. The boat was super fast getting which was exhilarating and fun, but felt safe. The captain told us tidbits of the marine life, the islands, and other general information. He answered all the questions we had. There were other bigger boats but the zodiac easily and quickly maneuvered to spots. Saw harbour seals, purposes, and mink whales. Unforgettable experience and thank you to the captain that kept us all safe and having a great time.

It was a great experience with this company. They were so friendly and helpful. It was supposed to be a two hour tour but it ended up being a little over three. Of course he asked if anybody had to get back to the shore for a reservation etc., but nobody did it so we got to experience even more viewings like seals and eagles and dolphins and of course whales. I wish I could remember the captains name, but I’m sure they’re all just as great as he was. It was definitely the highlight of our vacation.

Dissapointing. We booked a boat tour and were driving in from Nova Scotia only to get a call 2 hours in letting us know they would have to cancel our boat tour if they couldn’t get atleast 6 other people. They tried talking us out of our reservation by saying it wasn’t whale watching season and that we likely wouldn’t see any wildlife. We didn’t care, we just wanted the boat experience. It was explained that weather was also a factor in the cancellation. That was understandable however, talking people out of an experience is innapropriate. The website should clearly state that a minimum of 6 people are required or else they will experience dissapointment. Would not recommend for tourists who are excited for a new experience. The website needs to be updated as people should not be able to book online if they are not sending boats out.

Incredible day out on the bay of fundy. My body is sore, my face is wind burnt but early june we say minke whales, eagles, puffins and seals! Captain Andrew was so knowledgeable and even stayed out a bit later so we could see the minke. Even though we had to cancel the morning we were booked on ASAP (weather permitting). Highly recommend. Also my fellow fat people- not to worry about the safety suite, they have sizes that will fit and wont make you feel bad about it

We had an amazing experience. Greg was our tour guide and was friendly, personable and was a wealth of information of all things about marine life and life around saint Andrew’s NB. We saw whales, seals, porpoise and a bald eagle. Greg made it his mission to make sure we were satisfied on our trip.So worth it!

Captain Greg was amazing. We were able to see seals and whales on the tour. Plus have the opportunity to hold a 25lbs lobster. The tour was excellent and he went above and beyond. I would hugely recommend Fundy Tide Runners for your whale watching tour

My husband and I enjoyed it very much. We arrived in St Andrews on Friday June 1. We were scheduled to do a tour ( with a different company) the next day. We wanted to check out where it was and ask them questions but they weren't opened. We found out that the tour was canceled do to high winds for Saturday. We spoke with Melissa ( I believe that was her name) at Fundy. She had a few other people that had the same issues as us. She took our information. She asked to give her about a half hour to see if she could arrange a tour. Long story short ? we went out. She did warn us that it was a bit early to see whales ☹️. We did see Harbour and gray seals, a couple porpoises and the captain took up to a buddy of his that was lobster trapping. They allowed us to watch them bring up one of their traps and showed us their catch. They had a big one that was about 4lbs.I highly recommend this company.
