Great team of folks take you on an excursion to see puffins, murrs, gulls, and other sea birds nesting on nearby islands plus offer you a fantastic vireo of the shoreline around Bay Bulls, in all its majesty and cragginess, and if all goes well, you’ll also see some whales. You are on the water for about 2 hours and you the team is always on the lookout for signs of whales. The birds are pretty much a guarantee. The island they take you to is home to about 600,000 nesting puffins, about a million murrs, and a variety of other sea birds. The whales are a cross-your-fingers thing.
We got lucky and spotted a single humpback about an hour into the tour and followed that one for a bit but it was a bit away from us. However, the team heard there was cow and calf a. It further up the coast so off we went in search. I think the captain was about to give up when we spotted them and we were treated to quite a show with mom and baby breaching the surface several times and the baby getting really really close to the boat! What a spectacle! There was 0,entry of vpchsnce for everyone to get pictures or videos as Captain Mike skilled steered the boat to be alongside the pair but respectfully distant. The. They chose to come nearer.
The team was classically Newfoundlanders….friendly, generous and entertaining from start to finish and, since we were the last tour of they day, they stayed out about 30 minutes longer than planned as we hunted and then we’re rewarded! The boat was clean and in great condition too!
I would totally recommend this boat tour company!
