Newfoundland Whale & Puffin Boat Tours

Prime boat tour location

40 minutes from St. John’s makes our boat tour a remarkable experience. Away from the hustle of the city, we get closer to the real wildlife of Newfoundland.

Whale watching... but with icebergs, puffins, & more

The Molly Bawn tour is a 1 hour and 15 minute Newfoundland boat tour around the edges of the Atlantic Ocean. Every tour is a unique experience. We’ve seen icebergs, puffins, dolphins, sharks, humpback whales, otters, jelly fish, killer whales, and more!

Every tour is also a bird tour. We see more than puffins — watch bald eagles, murres, razorbills, fulmars, gannets, shearwaters, and more.

Our crew makes the difference

With a Master of Science in biology, Jeannine provides a complete insight into the wildlife that we see. We cater to smaller groups, giving you personal attention on our tour of the ocean playground. Have an adventure of a lifetime, and learn something too.

Directions

The boat tour starts at Gus O’Reilly’s Road, Mobile, Newfoundland, on the Southern Shore Highway, Route 10.

Take Route 13 off the TCH, then turn right on Route 10. Or take Route 3 from St. John’s, then Route 10. Drop in at our information booth, right across from Mobile High School.

5-star rating on Trip Advisor

“Seabirds, seabirds, seabirds (and whales)!” — We finally got to see whales – a pair of humpbacks – but the really exceptional thing, compared with previous whale-watching tours we've taken? The birds ... thousands of them! We saw puffins (including a cute little chick), gannets, murres, seagulls and many more. (August 5, 2015)

“Wonderful Experience” — What makes this tour special is the small size and the enthusiasm of the crew. The boat dock is located in a lovely little cove in Mobile. On our tour we saw puffins, eagles, and mink whales. The small numbers allowed for a commentary that met the needs of the group. (August 17, 2013)

“Best whale tours around!!!” — This whale watching boat was a GREAT one! We saw plenty of humpback whales, puffins, razor bills, murres, kittiwaks, bald eagles and even dolphins! (January 16, 2015)

“Great outing” — This tour was like going out with family. Our captain was as excited about seeing the wild life as we were and enthusiastically pointed out what to look for. A minke whale, eagles, many birds. Puffins are just tiny! (September 11, 2015)

“So great!” — The tour guide was SO knowledgeable. I believe she was a marine biologist. We saw Humpback whale, and tons of puffins, bald eagles... (July 28, 2015)

“Fantastic trip” — Super knowledgable and friendly crew! Boating towards the puffin island felt like something out of National Geographic. And we were in a pod of humpback whales! (July 23, 2015)
