Two-hour zodiac tours from Neil's Harbour aboard the Highland Hurricane
Just two minutes off the Cabot Trail, nestled in the northeast corner of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, lies the quaint fishing village of Neil's Harbour. Let the lighthouse guide you to Dixon's Zodiac Seafari. Prepare to have a smooth, exhilarating ride aboard the “733 Hurricane”, the same type of vessel used by the Canadian Coast Guard. This is where your Cape Breton coastal whale watch and marine life tour will begin.
You will embark on a two-hour journey where you may experience close encounters with our four most common whales — fin whales, pilot whales, minke whales and the majestic humpback. Other whales that we see are the blue whale, killer whale, northern Atlantic right whale and the sei whale. We also see dolphins, mola mola (aka sunfish), seals and a variety of sea birds. In the past number of years the infamous great white has entered our sightings.
So come join us to explore the beautiful Cape Breton coastline from the ocean and enjoy the marine life that flourishes here. It's a Nova Scotia adventure you will never forget.
All wildlife photos are taken by Dixon's Zodiac Seafari.
