Are there any whale watching tour companies out of the north end of the Island?

Hello Kyla,

If you're hoping to see whales during your visit to Prince Edward Island, several operators along the Island's north shore offer deep-sea fishing charters. While whale sightings cannot be guaranteed, guests often have an excellent chance of spotting whales during the season. Charter captains monitor local conditions and marine activity closely and can usually advise whether whales have recently been seen in the area.

Enjoy the thrill of deep-sea fishing while taking in PEI's coastal scenery and watching for other marine wildlife, including seals, seabirds, and other ocean species commonly found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Located in the Points East Coastal Drive region, the North Lake area is known for its tuna fishing and offshore adventures. Here are links to a few operators in this area:  

In the North Cape Coastal Drive region of western Prince Edward Island, contact:

For the best chance of seeing whales in PEI, contact charter operators directly before booking. They can provide the most up-to-date information on recent whale sightings, ocean conditions, and availability. 

I hope you have a wonderful time on your deep-sea adventure!

Judy
