As the dolphin surfaces, the water bubbles and sprays around its blowhole with the water trailing off its dorsal fin. On this summer day in the Bay of Fundy, the sunlight glistens off the water and creates reflections of the cute dolphin.

The boat tours with this company are usually between 3-4 hours in length with 3, sometimes 4 tours leaving daily from the middle of May until late in the fall season. The Bay of Fundy is a summer feeding grounds for many types of marine mammals and seabirds.
