Three hours by boat — see humpback whales, icebergs from Greenland, and seabirds while on a narrated tour.
Join a three-hour boat tour leaving from downtown St. John's, one of North America's oldest seaports. This outing offers a front-row seat to witness humpback whales breaching and tail-slapping, as well as majestic icebergs drifting from Greenland, offering ample photo opportunities along the way.
As you cruise the waters, look out for diverse seabird species including Atlantic puffins and bald eagles. The tour also includes a stop at Cape Spear, the easternmost point in North America, where you can take in panoramic views of the Atlantic and see the historic Cape Spear Lighthouse. The tour is both educational and entertaining, making it suitable for families.
Reviews
The iceberg boat tour was an amazing experience. The views of the stunning coastline and icebergs were breathtaking and truly unforgettable. I even got to taste some iceberg ice. What made this tour exceptional was the crew. They were all welcoming, and Glynn, in particular, made an effort to ensure that everyone felt included and comfortable. His humor and energy added to the memorable atmosphere, especially during the Screeching-In ceremony, which had everyone laughing and dancing. Whether you're in a group or going solo like I was, the crew made sure we all had a great time. It was evident that they genuinely wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. I highly recommend this tour to anyone in the area for the incredible views and exceptional crew.
I stayed at the ALT hotel, located on the Harbour, which offers fantastic views of cruise ships and other boats arriving. It’s essential to use the Hop on Hop off bus, costing $60 for two days, as you will need that time to reach all the attractions near St. John's. Be sure to visit the Duke of Duckworth for a drink and enjoy dinner at Oliver's, which is excellent. While there are no icebergs, puffins, or whales this season, it’s still a worthwhile trip, especially for first-time visitors.
Although we missed the whale sightings since it was late in the season, spending time out on the North Atlantic with Barry and his team was still fantastic. They were informative, entertaining, and took great care of us.
It was a fantastic experience with a very friendly and knowledgeable crew. I got to explore the wilderness of the north Atlantic sea, making it truly memorable.
Dress appropriately for the weather. The Captain and crew are excellent—friendly and well-informed about the region. Joining the “Screeched in” ceremony was a lot of enjoyable.
We had a fantastic time on this boating excursion, spending a memorable couple of hours with an outstanding crew. Glen really enhanced our experience with the lively screeching in ceremony. Booking this trip was a great choice; we got an up-close look at a magnificent iceberg and enjoyed stunning coastal views. I definitely recommend this company for their professionalism and fun atmosphere. We will return!
It was incredible. You might want to take a jacket since there's a chance you could get splashed by some waves.
This was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend. The crew was outstanding—friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. We got the chance to closely admire a stunning iceberg, and I really enjoyed the Screech-in ceremony. It was an ideal trip.
The crew was wonderful, but it's important to dress warmly. They took us along the coast and made sure everyone had the opportunity to see the iceberg up close.
Iceberg Quest in St John’s was a fantastic tour, conveniently nearby. We were fortunate to witness a stunning iceberg while in town. The captain and crew truly excelled at making the experience enjoyable. Thank you.
