The Sollows family of Pirate's Cove Whale & Seabird Cruises
wishes to invite you to Long Island, on the coast of the Bay of Fundy to
venture among whales, seabirds, marine mammals and deep blue skies for
their tenth year of operation.
The Bay of Fundy on Canada's East Coast is the summer feeding grounds
for many species of marine mammals, seabirds and saltwater invertebrates.
Each year from mid May to late fall the bay is teaming with marine life,
and is one of the richest marine habitats in the world.
Research
| Pirate's Cove,
in association with East Coast Ecosystems Research Organization contributes
photographs and information to a number of international whale research
and conservation efforts including the North Atlantic Right Whale Catalog
which is located at the New England Aquarium in Boston. |
Our Location
Tiverton, the home of Pirate's Cove
Whale & Seabird Cruises, is an authentic fishing village on the
tip of Long Island, Digby County, Nova Scotia. Long Island
separated from Digby Neck by Petite Passage and surrounded by the
Bay
of Fundy, is reached by car ferry from East Ferry following
route 217 from Digby. Allow 45 minutes travel time from Digby. The
ferry crossing takes about 5 minutes and the cost for a return trip
is $2.00.
Our friends "from away" can enter Nova Scotia
through Yarmouth (by ferry from Portland or Bar Harbour,
Maine), through Digby (by ferry from St. John, New
Brunswick), or by highway through New Brunswick.
Our Location
 |
Besides being in the centre of the best "whale
watching" on the East Coast, Tiverton is a typical, working
Nova
Scotia fishing community. It promises some of the cleanest air, bluest
waters, prettiest scenery and friendliest folk in Atlantic Canada.
