We will look for Razorbills, Great Shearwater, Red Phalarope, Boreal Chickadee, White-winged Crossbill, thousands of migrating Semipalmated Sandpipers, as well as Humpback and other whales.

“Mitch and Jared are fantastic guides who really know the birds and where to find them. Perhaps a bit less playing of tapes would be good. The hotels were all fine. I enjoyed the different options for meals, ie, picnics or sit down.”

“Great birding tour with opportunity to see new birds especially on the highlight of the trip, the pelagic tour. Guides are great birders as well as the other birders in the trip. I learned something from all of them.”

We’re so pleased that the pelagic outing was a highlight and gave you the opportunity to see some exciting new birds. One of the great pleasures of a small-group birding tour is being surrounded by people who generously share their knowledge and enthusiasm, so it is lovely to hear that you learned from both the guides and your fellow travellers.

“i have given this a 4 star rating primarily because our guides were outstanding. Jared and Mitch work so well together and they took care of all of us, from shopping for picnic lunch supplies for our various food allergies & preferences, to ensuring that we saw the spectacular bird life of this province. Grand Manan was a wonderful experience. There was a pelagic tour one day which resulted in some amazing species, not just birds. And we got to take a ferry across to White Head Island which was so enjoyable, the island is delightful as are the people. The people were friendly and welcoming everywhere. A bonus for me was that after the tour I purchased one of Mitch's photo albums. The tour was well organized and very well led.”

It sounds like their care, teamwork, and attention to everyone’s needs really stood out, which is wonderful to hear. We’re also so pleased that Grand Manan, the pelagic outing, and the visit to White Head Island were highlights. That part of New Brunswick has such a special mix of scenery, wildlife, and welcoming communities, and we’re happy you were able to experience so much of it. It’s lovely to hear that you took home one of Mitch’s photo albums as a keepsake as well. Thank you again for travelling with us and for sharing such generous feedback.

“Very beautiful to observe so many different species that call NB home even if it is temporary. Fabulous pelagic boat tour on the Bay of Fundy plus humpback and fin whale sightings on the ferry and on the boat. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, ready to help and fun to be around. Excellent, varied itinerary. It was wonderful to be on Grand Manan for 3 days. The tour helps to show the natural beauty of NB.”
