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

Boat tour with amazing crew - Originally booked tour for a Monday but weather was looking horrible. An agent for the company called two days before and kindly asked me to change day which worked out well. So glad and grateful she called to reschedule instead of just canceling altogether. Despite the very choppy weather we managed to go out for the tour. Glen - one of the boat’s crew was amazing! Keeping everyone’s spirits high and taking the time to spend time with everyone, whether it was providing information or checking in on you during the boat ride or pointing out the wildlife or maybe all 3, he made the tour amazing. Genuinely great hospitality from Glen and all the crew! Also note on the ticket it says arrive an hour earlier, you check in and pick up your physical ticket then asked to come back 15 mins before departure time. Be prepared to stay nearby the pier.

It sure we would do it again. - While the staff was really nice, we were disappointed. They oversold the boat and it was so crowded it was difficult to move around or see things. Sadly no whales (but that isn’t their fault) but tons of playful dolphins.
