ABOUT THIS REGION  WHALE WATCHING

Whale watching along the coast of Newfoundland

This exciting whale watching package in Newfoundland is a great opportunity to participate in actual whale research. Whale lovers will simply enjoy being in the company of these majestic animals as they travel and sometimes play in their northern feeding grounds. For people with a special interest in marine mammal biology, your guides provide special evening presentations on marine mammal entrapment research, whale biology, dolphin intelligence, whale distribution, and general marine ecology. Your hosts have taught marine mammal biology in Canada and the United States and have been involved with field studies with some of the world's best known whale researchers. You do not need to be an expert to enjoy this holiday; the program is suitable for any nature enthusiast who wants to enjoy the company of whales. And although you will be trying to collect useful scientific information, the holiday is simply a wonderful experience for anybody interested in fun, photography, or a unique adventure.

Whale watching along the coast of Newfoundland

The itinerary is made up of different day tours to view the whales from land and water. Typically, humpback and minke whales are the most frequent sightings but dolphins and fin whales are also occasional sightings. In fact, 20 species of whale have been reported in Newfoundland waters, so you can expect an occasional surprise. Tours will also offer an excellent opportunity to view the birdlife in the area, including puffins and other seabirds.
