Lovely trip, great tourist adventure! - Lovely trip late in the season! Enjoyed the atmosphere, friendliness, bits of local knowledge, and there was a special live musician. Also went ahead and got Screeched, which was fun and walked away with a cute certificate! If I’m ever back in these parts I would go on a ride again, hopefully earlier in the season! ⚓️

A great day at sea. - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip today. It was a bit rough but the captain and crew were very attentive and mindful of the passengers comfort. As the second last day for the season we were impressed with the crews enthusiasm and commitment, a quality voyage. The live music was a wonderful bonus.

A must do! - This is an absolute must if you come to St Johns! The boat crew are awesome! So knowledgeable about the area! We had live music and which was an amazing added treat! Great bannerman beers inside at the bar! The best views I’ve ever seen! We didn’t get to see whales unfortunately- which we knew was probable given the season, but we did see some sun fish and had the best time!

Sunfish - It was a little late in the season to see whales, but we enjoyed watching the huge sunfish basking at the ocean surface. It was a great tour.

Great boat tour of the coastline - Amazing tour despite the grim weather. Small tour group which was great. Allowed us to move around the boat and get more of a special experience. Really appreciate the tour company rescheduling my initial date instead of canceling. Crew were amazing. Glenn was so kind and spent time with each passenger to make this tour special.

OUTSTANDING - The crew…the nicest, most helpful, pleasant and fun people that you would ever want to hang around with. The boat was comfortable, and clean and it was a perfect couple of hours. One of the highlights of my trip across Canada. Thank you Glenn, thank you Barry, thank you Roy! Best wishes and best of health, to you and your families. Sincerely, Carol

Friendly guide but information about iceberg and puffin seasons must be clearer - Good information about the trails at Signal Hill. But it was not the season of iceberg so the photos should be changed since there was no iceberg at all in this season.

great family tour - good tour to go on with the family as the boat has an enclosed cabin, tour was delayed for a day due to weather, we were called well in advance. Kids got their picture in the wheel house with the captain. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
