St John's Harbour Cruise

Join the MV Iceberg Quest and see St John’s and the beautiful Newfoundland coastline from the water. You cruise through the Narrows at the entrance to the harbour and meander along the coast looking for local wildlife such as puffins, seals and seabirds; on occasion humpback whales are also seen. Informative commentary along the way will give you an insight in to the unique way of life of the Newfoundlanders, and you can enjoy scenic views of the city as you return to shore.

Whale Watching from Trinity

Head out in to the waters around the Bonavista Peninsula to look for the magnificent whales that migrate through the area. Fin, humpback, sperm, minke, and pilot whale are often seen and the focus of the trip is to give you time to observe them playing and feeding, whilst, at the same time, contributing to a wider scientific study. Run by a small, family-owned operator, these excursions gives the experienced guides the opportunity to photograph and document the whales and work closely with other environmental organisations to monitor their movements and health. You may also see various species of dolphins and porpoises, eagles and offshore sea birds, including puffins and northern gannets. This is a fantastic way to experience and learn about the wildlife here.

Iceberg Quest Ocean Tours

Iceberg Quest Ocean Tours is a classic Newfoundland boat trip, blending big coastal scenery with the excitement of searching for icebergs and whales in the waters around Twillingate. Out on the Atlantic, you’ll get a front-row view of the natural drama that plays out here each year, with the chance to see ancient ice on the move and wildlife feeding close to shore. The best time for icebergs is typically late spring into early summer, when bergs drifting down from Greenland are most commonly seen off the coast. Whale sightings build through the summer months, with humpbacks often feeding in these rich waters, and seabirds adding even more energy to the scene throughout the season. In early summer you can sometimes get the magic combination of both icebergs and whales on the same trip, while later in summer the focus often shifts more towards whales and coastal wildlife. The experience is narrated throughout, with a strong local flavour that makes it feel like more than just a sightseeing cruise. Expect stories, humour, and plenty of Newfoundland character, often accompanied by traditional music as you travel. For those who want to lean fully into the culture, there’s even the option to do a “screech-in” at sea (additional cost), a playful local tradition that adds an extra layer to the experience. As with any nature-based experience, wildlife and iceberg sightings can’t be guaranteed, and shoulder-season trips are more weather dependent, but Twillingate is one of Newfoundland’s most iconic places to head out on the water in search of both.

Tour Gros Morne Food Tours

Tour Gros Morne Food Tours are a delicious way to get under the skin of the region, combining standout local flavours with a gentle, sociable evening out. Rather than sitting down in one restaurant, you’ll move between a handful of carefully chosen spots for a progressive three-course meal, with each stop showcasing a different side of Gros Morne’s food scene and plenty of local insight along the way. There are two fantastic options depending on where you’re staying. The Finer Things Food Tour focuses on the top-rated restaurants around Rocky Harbour and Norris Point, pairing seasonal dishes with wines chosen to complement each course. Expect a real taste of place, from the freshest local seafood to garden-grown herbs and the sweetness of handpicked berries when they’re in season. If you’re based in Woody Point, the Seaside Evening Food Tour offers a brilliant counterpart in a historic coastal setting. The menu leans into fresh, local and sustainable ingredients, and the evening is woven together with stories and character that make it feel like far more than a meal, it’s a warm introduction to Newfoundland hospitality. It’s a relaxed, guided group experience and ideal if you want to sample the best of the area without needing to plan where to eat each night. Dietary needs can be catered for with advance notice, and because the tour only runs with a minimum number of guests, it’s worth booking ahead where possible.
