The original Bluenose was launched as a Grand Banks fishing and racing schooner on 26 March 1921 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It was designed by William Roué and built by the Smith and Rhuland Shipyard. Bluenose II is operated by the Lunenburg Marine Museum Society on behalf of the Province of Nova Scotia. It's hard to imagine that on March 26th in 1921, those present on the shore of Lunenburg knew what would come of the day's festivities. They were there to launch the Bluenose. What they set in motion was a legacy that continues to this day. As Nova Scotia's sailing ambassador, Bluenose II plays a meaningful role for our province. Its mission involves promoting our maritime heritage and maintaining a connection to the legacy of Bluenose. It provides the opportunity to experience sailing tradition and serves as a welcoming representative of its home. Visitors can join us for a harbour cruise in our home port of Lunenburg or in one of the other ports on our schedule. Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada

The morning cruise offers a refreshing start to the day. The birds are out hunting for food and sometimes you get the added pleasure of watching the mist lift from the water. When the whales come into the Bay of Fundy they are hungry. They have just come north after a long journey and after a winter of not eating. They do not feed when they are in the calving grounds off the coast of Florida and Georgia. When they get to the cooler grounds of the Bay they are feeding constantly, morning, afternoon and evening. Sometimes the whales are close to shore, one or two miles off, sometimes it may be fifteen. There are specific feeding grounds where we search to see if the whales are present. The Bay of Fundy is a large area and the whales can be just about anywhere, but they like us are a creature of habit and they are always looking for food. If we can find the food then usually there are whales around. Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada

With years of experience our guides are committed to your safety. Reading the river and traveling as a pack they will create the best experience possible for you. While they chase the waves in the river you can expect to have a ride like no other. Each of our tours includes the opportunity to partake in a fun local activity, mud-sliding. Exactly as it sounds, indulge your inner child as you slide down the silky smooth mud slopes of the Shubie River. Make sure you wear clothes that you don't mind tie-dying to match the mud. The tidal bore is the first sign of the incoming tide and it occurs, roughly, every 12.5 hours. The tidal bore can be anywhere from a slight ripple in the water to a 10 foot wall of water (in narrow parts of the river) during extreme tides. Once the tidal bore passes through, waves will begin to form over shallow parts of the river (usually sand bars). The waves, that are created from the incoming tide, only last for a short period of time until there is too much water. It is our job, as your tour guides, to read the river and create the best experience possible for you. While we chase these waves down the river you can expect to get a ride like no other.
