We hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th. Bar Harbor was quite busy with 4th of July festivities.
The whale watch had two successful and exciting trips. Passengers enjoyed a break from the heat as well as the opportunity to see a great deal of wildlife!
Both the morning and afternoon trips had a number of whales and other marine life. The 8:30 trip had numerous puffin sightings. Offshore they found four fin whales!
On the 1:30 trip the boat spotted three to four fin whales and two humpbacks! The humpbacks were identified as "Triton" and "Whistler". These whales were first sighted and documented for scientific research in 1981 and 1976! Other marine mammal sightings included harbor porpoise, grey seals and harbors seals.
The day wrapped up with our fireworks bay cruise and a spectacular firework show!
