Take the Video Tour!

Our 13.7m (45') boat departs four times a day from the historic waterfront and World Heritage Site of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The Eastern Points is a brand new 13.7m (45') fibreglass-hulled, vessel equipped with the most modern navigational aids and safety equipment. The boat was designed for maximum safety, visibility and comfort; a canopy provides ample protection from the sun, rain and seaspray.

The whales are magnificent. Sometimes so close, you can touch them. There are fin, pilot, minke and the favoured humpback whales. They lunge and dive and blow. And there are dolphins, ocean sun fish, giant blue fin tuna and leatherback turtles; and birds - puffins, razorbills, terns, black guillemot, petrels, shearwaters and gannets. On our return trip a reef reveals a large population of seals basking in the sun. For detailed information on 'What to See' on our tours CLICK HERE.

For those days when the seas are just too rough for whale watching, Capt. Flower conducts an informative tour of historic Lunenburg Harbour and the nearby Ovens Natural Park. The rugged coast is spectacular and the sea caves at the park are something to behold.

The brightly coloured buildings that hug the shoreline of the 'old town' of Lunenburg provide the perfect backdrop for the 'harbour tour' portion of each trip. It is this section of the historic town that has been designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations. There is the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, The Dory Shop, the National Sea Products Plant, The Bluenose II in port and a host of local fishing vessels to observe.

From May through October each year, the Eastern Points sails four times daily: 8:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. It should be noted that sailing times may vary periodically because of local
weather conditions or minimum passenger requirements. Call our ticket booth for the most up-to-date sailing information.
