Grand Manan

As mentioned in a post last week the highlight for school groups visiting in the fall is a trip to Grand Manan Island to go whale watching.  On the Grand Manan excursion students also get a chance to:
·         View marine mammals and seabirds during the 1.5 hour ferry crossing,
·         Try dulse and other types of edible seaweed (yummy!),
·         Walk on the sandy beach at the Anchorage Provincial Park and find kelp that is as tall as them,
·         Walk on the cliffside trail at Southwest Head, and
·         Visit a fishing wharf.

Curious about what the Huntsman offers?  Visit our website, www.huntsmanmarine.ca/html/education.html.
