Step aboard and set sail to Atlantic Puffins, Humpback Whales and Icebergs. Watch as seabirds dive for food, Bald Eagles soar overhead and the sun glistens off of towering icebergs.

Cruise with us to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, home to the largest Atlantic puffin colony in North America (500,000+) and millions of other seabirds including: Common Murre, Black-legged Kittiwake and Razor-bill Auk.

Enjoy a spectacular performance by Humpback whales as they frolic, breach and pectoral fin slap right before your eyes. A show not to be missed! With the largest population of Humpbacks returning each summer, there are bound to be a few breathtaking moments. Showtimes and routines vary as we are dealing with Mother Nature.
