Puffins
May to September
Marvel at playful puffins nesting on the cliffs and diving into deep waters.
Puffins arrive early May and can be viewed in large numbers through till mid September with a few staying till the 3rd week of September. Timing for the other seabirds varies by species.
Whales
Mid-June to Mid-August
Be captivated by majestic humpback whales as they explore the ocean’s surface. Whale encounters typically peak mid-June through to mid-August (not guaranteed / may vary year to year). Whales may arrive mid May and stay as late as September but please remember that sightings outside of the peak season are a bonus! Whales are not guaranteed.
Icebergs in Newfoundland
May to June
(maybe)
There is more to an iceberg than meets the eye. These incredible mountains of ice meander past the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador each season. The season for icebergs, can and does vary greatly from year to year.
While beautiful and striking to look at, these massive mountains of ice are intertwined in our rich natural and cultural heritage. The crew is very knowledgable about the many facets of an iceberg and take great delight in sharing their knowledge with the guests.
Please note: Whales / icebergs are seasonal and are not guaranteed
