Join this exhilarating marine wildlife adventure aboard a high-speed catamaran that captures the spirit of Newfoundland and its people. Our destination is the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, home of over 2 million seabirds including 500,000 Atlantic puffins and one of the largest populations of whales in the North Atlantic. You will also get to hear live commentary from crew and naturalists on board about Newfoundland’s heritage as you travel to Iceberg Alley.

This cruise departs from a private dock in Bay Bulls, about 25 minutes from downtown St. John's, Newfoundland.

At the dock, step aboard a catamaran equipped with a spacious viewing platform. The catamaran can accommodate up to 100 people on its outside decks, and its interior cabin can fit all passengers comfortably in the event of inclement weather. This is the only tour vessel in Newfoundland with such capacity.

Your captain navigates the boat to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, located at the end of Iceberg Alley. Icebergs drift along the coast from Greenland each spring and summer, and by the time they reach the reserve, they have been sculpted by the seas, sun, waves, and shoreline to create incredible shapes.

On board, crew and naturalists share insight into the 2.5 million seabirds and the large populations of whales that call the reserve home. Peak whale watching takes place from mid-June through mid-August. (Your crew will do its best to make sure you see whales, but sightings are not guaranteed.) The guides and crew are equipped with wireless microphones and are happy to answer your questions or repeat information as you like.

The boat will stop along sheltered areas of the islands that comprise the Reserve. Snap photos of nesting sites and watch seabirds in their natural habitat. Some species you may see include Atlantic puffins, common murres, black guillemots, northern gannets, greater shearwaters, and northern fulmars.
