(Translated) During our holiday in Baddeck we did a sailing tour with Amoeba Sailing Tours. It was fantastic. The crew was super nice and gave during the trip information about the places where we sailed past, among other things, it went past the huge absence of Alexander Graham Bell. The Bell Mansion is terrific. In bright sunshine we had a great time. (Original) Wir haben während unseres Urlaubs in Baddeck eine Segeltour mit Amoeba Sailing Tours gemacht. Es war fantastisch. Die Crew war super nett und hat während der Fahrt Infos zu den Orten gegeben an denen wir vorbeigesegelt sind, unter anderem ging es vorbei am riesigen Abwesen von Alexander Graham Bell. Die Bell Mansion ist grandios. Bei strahlendem Sonnenschein hatte wir eine tolle Zeit.

I went on this tour with my family and none of us enjoyed the tour at all. The best part of the tour was the bald eagles, but that lasts one minute during a 2 hour tour. They use the word “tour” fast and loose. There are a couple of crew members that walk around the boat and tell the customers about the history and facts of the mansion and Bell family, but none of them made it around to us. I could barely overhear a couple snippets of info while they spoke to other customers, but even that part of the “tour” is only during the first hour when you’re on your way to the mansion. The second half of the tour is just you staring at the water and wishing you were on a motor boat instead of a sail boat.

First class experience! Pretty neat that the eagles come when called. Very knowledgeable of the area and had a first class crew!

Chris Bing

Nice sailing yacht with a very nice owner and crew. We enjoyed the sail, especially the feeding of the mating pair of bald eagles. We had great winds and we enjoyed the local lore from the owner and crew.

Sadie Maclean

What a wonderful way to spend some time with friends. Great day on the lake.

(Translated) The scenery of the Bajik town pier is beautiful to see the lighthouse on the opposite side of the island. Weijue Pier is small-point, and the surrounding accommodation is a bit expensive. (Original) 巴億克小镇码头风景很美能看见对岸小岛的灯塔。威觉码头小了-点，周边住宿有点贵。

Had a great time

Bill Grant

We absolutely loved our tour! The kids sit in the middle of the boat and have appropriately sized life vests. The staff was great with them. The captain spoke English and French. The tour length is about 90 minutes. There is a bathroom below, you will need to get down a steep staircase/ladder to get to it. They let the kids go down and look around, which was really fun for them. I would definitely recommend going and hope to enjoy it again myself.

SJ Clark

Good value cruise around the bay with amusing Captain and crew providing the local touch. The eagle feeding gives a chance for a good photo of you are quick. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Emily Callahan

A very enjoyable sail accompanied by a well rehearsed commentary. Excellent views of bald eagles who oblige by coming close to the ship to pick up the frozen fish thrown to them. Good views of the buildings belonging to the Alexander Graham Bell family.

Jenn

You get to watch them feed bald eagles and see the holiday home of Alexander graham bell's descendants. During the summer the boat ride is amazing.

Thought the walking area was bigger, but it was lovely.

Perry Robinson

Tried it a few years ago and enjoyed w hours of sailing. Busy boat, though, not much room to move around.

Sheila MacNeil

Great tour for our whole family! Fantastic service by the whole crew, friendly and funny, they certainly made the trip unforgettable for our 8-year old son. Fun even even when there is no wind!

Natasha Walker

What a thrill to sail for the first time!

Marcella Steinecke

(Translated) Very beautiful sailing on the lake. Fantastic the white-tailed eagle. Unfortunately the weather was dry but cloudy. So the pictures of the white-tailed eagle are a bit blurry because of the long exposure time. The sailing tour is definitely recommended. The Creek competent and very friendly, always up for a joke. (Original) Sehr schöne Segeltur auf dem See. Phantastisch die Seeadler. Leider war das Wetter zwar trocken aber wolkenverhangen. So sind die Bilder der Seeadler etwas verschwommen aufgrund der langen Belichtungszeit. Die Segeltour ist unbedingt zu empfehlen. Die Creek kompetent und sehr freundlich, immer zu einem Späßchen aufgelegt.

James M

Enjoyed ourselves. Skipper and first mate we're entertaining

Vince Wallace

Beautiful view

Lucy Devoe

Great way to see Bell Island

Bill macNeil

Great fun, nice sailing experience with people who really know what they are doing!

Lindsay Fiume

Absolutely loved it! The eagle feeding was amazing

mike elliott

Highlight was the feeding of two eagles. Great way to experience sailing especially with all the sails up and the ship at an angle to the water.

Jeanne David

I was able to get out sailing and was the perfect day temperature was amazing. Guides were entertaining

Wendy Matheson

Nice ride along Lake Bras d'Or. Would have wanted to see more birds but did see an eagle and cormorants.

Loretta Bilous

Leaving the dock off the main street in Baddeck the captain takes off through the beautiful Bras D'or lakes, and gives a stunning perspective of what we all take for granted. Being a local I can't believe I waited so long to do this tour. Well worth the 30$ and the 30 minute drive. The deckhands were friendly and informative as well as the extremely patient and nice women whose name I forget. See you again !!

Rebecca Russell

Fantastic Tour, cheerful & knowledgeable team.

Pauline V. Pompei

Good tour for 30$

The whole family loved the tour of Baddeck Bay! It offered more than we expected with the eagle feeding and the very knowledgeable, friendly crew.

Danielle Clark De Bisschop

Awesome ride. Fantastic Captain

Martin Hamel

Business is closed for 2021. Website needs to be updated.

Beth Groom

Nice sail with family on beautiful day. Note: They only take Visa credit not debit or cash CAD or US

Deanna Curtis

Great value tour. Captain and crew like to joke that they don't know what they're doing but they could do this journey blindfolded. Only disappointment was the lack of drinks served on board, not sure why.

Jeanne Johnston Murphy

Friendly captain and his mates and great price

Denis Michaud

Boat looked nice. Would like to have done the tour but when we turned up on the day it said "sold out" and they were obviously pre-sold to coach loads of people. Call ahead if you plan to do this trip to avoid the same disappointment...

Jacalyn Marie Brabbs

Excellent sailing trip.

Amy MacIntyre

Wonderful tour, great staff with incredibly interesting stories. Would recommend and definitely repeat if the opportunity presents itself.
