Far, far away

We come from away.

Making their way from the warm waters of the Dominican Republic, humpback whales travel nearly 4,000 kilometers every year and arrive on our shores to feed and play until September. They are very gentle mammals and really like to show off for you.

TESTIMONIALS

Great way to see Bonavista We did the half day tour with Bonnie and Jordan. It is a great way to see all the sites of Bonavista plus ones that only the locals know. We had a great sunny day in June and enjoyed every stop. Our favourite was at Spellar Cove where Bonnie brought out homemade turkey sandwiches and fruitcake to have on our picnic. The view was awesome. Thanks to Jordan for all the stories from your Grandfather and letting us experience

3 tours in 1 day – all were fantastic. My sister and I recently took a tour with Bonavista Adventure Tours as a part of a 3-week break exploring Newfoundland. Bonnie & Jordan are a fantastic couple, excellent tour guides and made the whole experience a wonderful day for us. We took three tours. 1) We got to meet Puffins! 2) A driving tour of the locality, where we learned a huge amount 3) Beach boil up – an incredible end to the day. We never felt once like we were just one tour out of 1,000 – the personal touch was everywhere and we were really well looked after. Seriously. Take the tour. Eat the food. I shall reiterate….. The food is truly awesome. Oh. And by the way – I GOT TO MEET PUFFINS !!!!

Watch Out for Whales, Puffins, and Icebergs!

We most commonly sight humpback whales, fin whales, and minke whales on our trips. Other sightings include icebergs, puffins, seals, porpoises, sharks and a variety of sea birds. Join us for a memorable trip!

Did you know that Bonavista is rated as one of the best places in Newfoundland to view icebergs? As our climate changes, we are sighting more and more icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland. Ninety percent of icebergs seen off Newfoundland and Labrador come from the glaciers of western Greenland. The rest come from glaciers on islands in Canada’s Arctic area. Be sure to call ahead to see if there are any recent sightings.

Your safety is very important to us. Every passenger is provided with a full-body flotation suit, which will also provide comfort and warmth during your excursion.

Whale Watching Boat Tours from Bonavista Peninsula

Many people wish to spot a whale in its natural habitat, and there’s no better place to do this than from a boat. In Newfoundland, you can participate in whale-watching boat tours just off of the Bonavista Peninsula. To take your tour with a company that has specialized in marine life sightseeing for over 25 years, contact Sea of Whales Adventures today.

Scientific Whale Boat Tours

At Sea of Whales Adventures, our whale watching tours allow you to take part in local scientific surveys.  Not only will you see whales of different species, but you will also see whales that have been visiting Bonavista Bay for a number of years! We photograph the whales in order to identify them and determine how often they return, and you get to be part of that process.

If you’re visiting Bonavista Peninsula to see the historical heritage sites at Trinity and Bonavista, you definitely need to make time in your visit to participate in a whale watching tour. We will give you a chance to see whales up-close in their natural environment as they feed, play, and migrate. You may even get to spot porpoises, dolphins, eagles, and offshore sea birds of varying species.

For an intimate whale boat tour with a family-owned and -operated company, contact Sea of Whales Adventures today by calling 1 (709) 474-2200 .
