There are several whale watching companies to choose from, but our favourite is the Jolly Breeze.
Sail the seas on New Brunswick’s most beautiful tall ship, The Jolly Breeze and see whales, seals, porpoise, eagles and more in the famous Bay of Fundy.

Off a very private road just a short drive from Rancho Relaxo, the spa’s natural surroundings are breathtaking.
On the grounds are a Finnish sauna, wood burning oven, hot tub, a propane fire pit and tub containing water cooled to 10 degrees celcius.
