Newfoundland Adventure
|
Experience the world's largest gathering of humpback whales and a fabulous diversity of marine wildlife. Small groups and giant landscapes are featured. These departures are all guaranteed to go. While we can never promise whales, these dates include the prime whale watching season (100 per cent viewing success 1994-2006). Most years we see the largest numbers and varieties of whales between late June and early August. The seabirds are thinning out by late July but everybody should see murres, puffins, razorbilled auks, gannets, eagles, moose, caribou, and many other species of wildlife. Since 1993 (except 1999, 2005 and 2006) everybody saw icebergs on our June and July trips. Guests also get to enjoy eastern Newfoundland's museums, lighthouses, trails, wildflowers, songbirds, flavours, and local folks. This tour is designed to give you an overview of this enormous,enticing island. Anyone interested in teeming bird life, whales and other wildlife in a pristine,but accessible, natural setting will enjoy this trip. It can also be combined with our Whale Study Week for more in-depth time with the whales or our fascinating Viking Trail Experience. |
