Reviews of Capt Riddle's Whale Watching (Travel Agency)

Robin Brandt

Brandon was very friendly and took us out whale watching on short notice. Its a personal small boat and he does the tours as a side hobby. Very reasonably priced (bring cash or be able to E-Transfer to BMO bank). We saw plenty of porpoises, Minke whales, sea birds, bald eagles (adult and juvenile), and spectacular views! He took us by the Old Sow whirlpool and the beautiful East Quoddy Lighthouse. It was especially appreciated that he was pet friendly and allowed our dog on board. We wouldn’t have been able to have this wonderful experience otherwise.

We had an amazing first time whale watch experience with Captain Riddle’s Brandon and his son. It was only the four of us, my family and I, and I highly recommend booking as soon as you arrive to the area. We saw two different finback whales, some seals, several porpoises and many minke whales. Brandon knew exactly where to take us to spot several porpoises and even see them beneath the surface as they swam towards us. We were even lucky enough to see a minke whale crest only 30 feet from the boat — but like I said that was luck! Brandon knew a lot about the area’s islands, its animals, industries, etc. He even gave us a chance to fish off the boat for a bit and each of us caught at least 2 fish! Definitely worth the time and adventure to spend an afternoon with Brandon on the boat. We will come again next year for sure!

Excellent trip! We had so much fun, saw whales, harbor seals, and eagles. The scenery is beautiful and seeing the whales with the scenic back drop was just breath taking. We saw minke, finback, humpback and even a rare right whale. The captain was polite and knowledgeable. Can't wait for our next trip!

Such a kind family, beyond fair pricing, and he went above and beyond to make try and help us to see a whale. There’s a facility on the boat. And a perfect size for 4-12 people. Definitely recommend.
