ABOUT THIS REGION  WILDLIFE WATCHING

Wildlife watching along the coast of Newfoundland

Experience the world's largest gathering of humpback whales and a fabulous diversity of marine wildlife on this wildlife watching tour in Newfoundland. Small groups and giant landscapes are featured on these sightseeing tours along the coast. The dates for these tours include the prime whale watching season (100 per cent viewing success 1994-2006). The seabirds are also abundant at this time and you should see murres, puffins, razorbilled auks, gannets and eagles, as well as moose, caribou, and many other species of wildlife. Icebergs are common sights on the June and July trips.

Wildlife watching along the coast of Newfoundland

These are moving sightseeing tours that begin in St. John's, where you will participate in boat voyages featuring whale watching and a visit to North America's largest puffin colony, and thousands of other seabirds. Your next stop is the Avalon Wilderness area where you can view whales, a small puffin colony, a tern colony, seals and members of the world's most southerly caribou herd. As you continue along the coast, you will visit Terra Nova National Park. Spend the day on Terra Nova's walking trails, experiencing what makes this area so special -- moose, osprey, orchids, shore-birds, and much more. Bird watching, icebergs, flower walks, beachcombing, sea kayaking, and hands-on marine biology programs are all possibilities. Some options such as flight seeing trips and boat tours are at your own expense, but you don't need to spend a cent to enjoy a wild and wonderful day. The trip ends back in St. John's with some free time to explore this capital city.
