We've built our reputation on courtesy, safety and success.

Fiddlin' Whale Tours is well known and respected for its high standards of safety and comfort. Safety is our #1 priority and we never tour when conditions on the water might result in discomfort to passengers. 

Our experienced approach to whale watching always provides a safe, relaxed and non-intrusive whale tour. This is a guarantee to our guests, providing you with once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe and photograph Cetaceans (whales), other marine creatures, birds and pristine nature at its best.

These magnificent creatures co-exist in a rich local marine environment along with lobster, snow crab, cod fish, mackerel and herring (which the whales like to eat), in the "crystal clear" ocean waters around Pleasant Bay.

The Captain and crew maintain constant visual contact and radio communication with other local marine traffic (lobster fishermen, private boats and the emergency response safety team).  They rarely have to travel more than a mile or so from shore to be with the whales - and most days they see whales from the land before leaving port!

Whales and music!  Have we developed a way to communicate with our fellow mammals?  Yipper!  And what a blast!  Observe for yourself how various notes and pitches of the fiddle resemble whale eco-location.

Throughout the summer, conditions on the water are ideal for whale watching.  In calm weather we frequently shut the motor down and just enjoy the majestic beauty and tranquility of it all... and of course the fiddle music!  When this happens, pods of curious whales often approach the boat and the luring sounds of the fiddle.  It's astonishing... and perfectly safe!

For your added enjoyment, the vessel is equipped with an underwater listening device known as a "hydrophone" for listening to the whales.  You will be fascinated by the sounds of this "inter-species communication", as the response from the whales is transmitted through our hydrophone.  That's right folks, when conditions are suitable... we listen to the whales "singing"!

The whales frequently stay beside the vessel until their curiousity is satisfied.  As Captain Stan says, "It is truly an amazing phenomenon of nature to listen and witness this social interaction between humans and whales".
