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.

This was so much fun! We didn’t see any icebergs or whales BUT we did see some puffins and bald eagles! And the ocean was stunning, we rode some waves and had a fantastic tour with Glen, Emma, Noah, Serena and Captain Jamie! Everyone was so lovely and sweet and knowledgeable. 10/10 Would recommend

I received an email with a different date, but kept receiving emails with information about my original date. I called to clarify, but no answer. We showed up an hour early and stood there waiting. Finally another person who was also waiting called and was told our tour was cancelled. I emailed (again) and called (again) and heard nothing back. Nothing about refund or the cancellation or anything. **Unprofessional and frustrating.** The date mentioned in the one email I did get, we'll no longer be here.

Good information about the trails at Signal Hill. But it was not the season of iceberg so the photos should be changed since there was no iceberg at all in this season.
