Humpback whales info

Every summer the largest gathering of humpback whales can be observed in the waters around Newfoundland and Labrador. 35,000 of these 40 ton and up to 18 meter long giants come here to feed on up to 2t of capelin per day and to educate the next generation in fishing.

Make sure you don’t miss out on this mind-blowing spectacle!

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)
