Tales of the Sea

Considering the abundance of whales found frolicking in our waters, the hardest decision you'll make this summer is deciding exactly what way you want to get close. Try a boat tour or kayaking tour to observe whales at play. Or, try diving right in to explore all of our marine life.

For the Birds

With over 35 million seabirds calling this place home, it's safe to say your odds of seeing puffins, gannets and eagles is excellent. And if you're an avid birder, be sure to take a tour with birding expert Dave Snow or check out one of our many ecological reserves, like Cape St. Mary's. There, you'll find (in addition to birds) a performance series every Saturday night until September 8th.

On the Radar

It might surprise you to learn that despite their size, icebergs can be easy to miss. Make sure you're looking in the right place by visiting our Iceberg Finder map. And for more detailed information, contact your nearest Visitor Information Centre.

Nature's Calling

The best way to make sure you don't miss a nature sighting (or to report your own) is to follow our nature alerts on Twitter: @NatureAlertsNL. And check our Facebook page for pictures and some friendly conversation.

Triple Play. We're one of the few places in the world to receive simultaneous visits from whales, birds and icebergs. Plan your trip today for a chance to see all three – a life-changing experience courtesy of Mother Nature.

Traveller's Tip. While this place is certainly off the beaten path, lots of people want to find themselves here at the same time. Booking rental cars and accommodations before you arrive lets you travel when you want, exactly how you want.
