Cape Breton Long Finned Pilot Whales

In the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, we ventured out on a whale watching excursion to find the Long-Finned Pilot Whales.

We booked a whale watching trip from Pleasant Bay in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where we headed out into the Gulf of St Lawrence and encountered Long-Finned Pilot Whales. Although called whales, they are actually members of the dolphin family. The shiny black coloring of the Long-Finned Pilot Whales glistens in the sunlight as they play around in the Gulf of St Lawrence.
