Whale Watching
Whales, whales and more whales. We
are only a half hour drive from some
great whale watching boat tour
operators. You will surely have a few
tales of the whales to share after.
Between May and September, whales
can be seen breaching the surface of
the water and playing along the local
shores. Catching a single glimpse of
these huge and majestic mammals is
an exciting and awesome experience
whether it's from the rail of a boat, the
side of your sea kayak or hiking a
seaside trail on land.
Activities
The Bonavista Peninsula has a lot to do and many sites to visit, including festivals, boat tours, icebergs, whales, great fishing, hunting,
craft sales, golf, hiking trails, skiing, ATV and snowmobile trails.... there is something for everyone. This area has a long history of
farming and in season, you can get a variety of fresh vegetables at local road side stands.
Icebergs
If icebergs are your thing, only a quick
half hour drive will start your quest to
spotting some amazing bergs.
April and May are the months when
bergs are most plentiful, but they may
be locked up in sea ice, so it's
recommended that late May to earlier
August is best for viewing (dependant
on weather and conditions). It's
always a good idea to check with local
boat tour operators for current
information.
Puffins
An hour drive will bring you to an
amazing place to view puffins. These
beautiful birds are the subject of many
photos.
Puffin watching is best from May
usually until the end of September.
The puffin is also the official bird of
Newfoundland and Labrador since
1992. The puffin is also known as the
"sea parrot" due in part to its
interesting colouring.

get out on the water for a relaxing and
enjoyable paddle.
