Some of the best whale watching takes place off the coast of Newfoundland every year. The world’s largest population of feeding humpback whales returns to our waters every summer, with many of them frequenting the water here in Bay Bulls as they pursue massive schools of tiny fish called capelin.
When joining us from June to early August, you can witness spectacular performances from humpback whales as they frolic, breach, and pectoral fin slap on the surface of the water right before your eyes.
