That's an interesting question. There is someone out on the Digby Neck, N.S. area near Freeport who has a sea-kayaking tour business. I don't know if they actually claim to take people out to be near the whales though. Probably not as most of the whale-watching happens at least 1/2 mile (or much more) off shore in the Bay of Fundy. As you probably know, Fundy has some pretty radical tide level changes and strong currents so I suspect that kayakers may stay in close to the coastline. However, the whales do come in very close to shore at times, so it's certainly possible that sea-kayaks could approach them. The closest thing to a sea-kayak that I saw was a whale-watch company that used Zodiac rafts to go out on the Bay. That could be rather interesting as you would be down on the same level as the whales. I picked up some brochures from other sea-kayaking companies along the coast, so I'll take a look to see if any of them mention the whales. BTW, I almost decided to try out sea-kayaking while I was down east this time, but I'm just getting over an injury to one of my arms and thought that it might be too much for me right now. Probably give it a whirl on my next trip, if not before then...
