The trip was excellent. Both main tour guides , Conn O’Brien and Shawn Doyle were excellent; their biological and ecological information was very sound and current. The boat captain quickly and strategically moved the boat close to a feeding humpback for considerable time without disturbing it, allowing Conn and Shawn to talk about the animal, it’s biology and basic ecology. They then moved to seabird colonies with excellent identification, Interpretation of the different species, their interactions and ecology. They were also very entertaining. The two hours flew by. I highly recommend this tour; It may be the best I ever experienced over a 40 year career as a wildlife biologist.
Thanks for the great tour. We do not normally take tours so were somewhat hesitant but pleasantly surprised at the ability to mix tour atmosphere with scientific information. Our guide Noah was multi talented and very knowledgeable. Great job and we saw whales, dolphins and more birds than we could have imagined.
I have done this tour many times and I have never been disappointed! The crews are always knowledgeable and entertaining. If you’re visiting Newfoundland this tour is an absolute must!
