Join Newfoundland’s award-winning boat tour as we depart from the heart of downtown St. John’s, the oldest seaport in North America. Witness the world’s largest concentration of humpback whales, watching as they thrust their massive 40 ton bodies into the air, and wave their iconic tails for amazing photo opportunities. Steam through the passageway of 12,000 year old icebergs as they travel from the glaciers of Greenland. Surround yourself with the different seabirds that frequent our shores including the black-legged kittiwakes, northern gannets, bald eagles and the elegant yet playful Atlantic Puffins. Visit the most easterly point in North America, Cape Spear. Breathtaking views of where the Atlantic Ocean meets the land, with Cape Spear Lighthouse and Battery above you. Both entertaining and educational, our narrated tour is fun for the whole family.

Make sure you dress for the weather. The Captain and crew are fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Participating in the “Screeched in” ceremony was a lot of fun.

Great experience and the crew were so friendly and knowledgeable. Experienced the wilderness of the north Atlantic sea.

We were too late in the season to see whales, but still great to get out on the North Atlantic with Barry and his crew. Informative, entertaining, and well cared for.

We had a lovely afternoon on this tour! We were out of season for whales, but the scenery alone was absolutely stunning and worth it. We saw an eagle as well as ocean sunfish. The crew is so friendly and fun, we enjoyed music as well as getting screeched in. Definitely recommend it!

No whales at this time of the year. We did see Sun Fish.
Good crew, good cruise along the coast. Good time.
