Highly Recommended Tour! - We went on a boat tour today with Captain Michael and his crew Glenn, Doug and we forgot the last person’s name. All of them were amazing and very passionate about what they do. The weather was fantastic and provided amazing views of all the main sites like Signal Hill, Fort Amherst, Cape Spear and the beautiful coastline connecting all the sites. We were lucky to see a Minke whale, as well as many seabirds like Northern Gannets and Guillemots. The crew was very knowledgeable about ocean animals, the history of St. John's and Newfoundland and the natural environment. The entire crew made everyone onboard feel welcome and comfortable. Our son, who has special needs, felt very comfortable with Glenn and joked around with him throughout the trip. At the end of the voyage, Glenn surprised us by including our son in the Screeching In ceremony being held onboard, making him and the others honourary Newfoundlanders! Glenn also went out of his way to make recommendations of other tourist attractions that he thought Willem would like. We highly recommend this two hour boat tour. The McNivens from Ottawa

A must do tour for anyone visiting St John’s - This tour was great! Our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. Glenn and Michael were especially great. We lucky saw a mink whale and lots of sea birds. Even without the wildlife I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting St John’s. 10/10

Great experience on board! - From the beginning to the end, the tour was outstanding! We felt very welcomed by all the crew, especially Glen who took good care of us the whole time! We could see beautiful landscapes and on the way back we could watch a whale near the boat! We highly recommend it to anyone who comes to St. John’s!

excellent experience. - This was a beautiful adventure for us. The staff Is incredible. Very knowledgeable and we loved hearing the history of Saint John's Newfoundland. We were not able to see Whales that day, but again we were there early in the season. The beautiful surroundings, cliffs, and some puffins was a site we will remember forever. Bruce and Diane T.

Absolute best!! - We chose Feather and Finn as it was a midway point for having a visit with some family. I was excited to stay there after speaking with Teri on the phone. She’s very knowledgeable about things to see and do and it was like a dream come true staying there. It was everything we hoped for and then some. They took such good care of us, like others said in their reviews, Pat and Teri treat you like family. They are a breath of fresh air, and we got a lot of fresh air while there exploring the incredible beaches too!! The B&B is immaculate and also beautifully decorated. Privilege to stay there honestly. We will be back!

Open Ocean Adventure - My wife and I had a lovely tour. The captain and attendees were very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed hearing the info about the history of the shorelines and the types of sea birds.

Very disappointed,Don’t believe advertising - No icebergs!!! unaware that we should have planned trip for June to guarantee sightings because company advertised that May was okay for icebergs. Also no whales or puffins despite advertising and stories of past sightings didn’t satisfy us in any way
