Fantastic whale watching adventure - Captain Michael and the rest of the crew were great. We had a fantastic trip, spent a good half of the trip with a humpback whale, and would definitely recommend.

Amazing! - Amazing once in a lifetime experience. We got to see several species of whales up close and personal. Ship was not over crowded allowing all to have a good view. If you are in town during whale watching season this is a must do!

One of the best experiences of my life - A group of us girls did the whale watching experience for a Bachelorette party. This was the part of our trip to Newfoundland I was most excited for and it definitely lived up to the hype!
The crew was incredible: Glen, Tyler and Captain Mike - thank you for treating our group like royalty, for being patient and kind to the few who were scared/got a bit seasick, and for your hospitality.
It was a foggy and cold day but we saw two humpbacks (one came so close!), two bald eagles and memories to last a lifetime!

Short & Sweet - The tour ran on time and easy location to get to. We were lucky to see a whale within 10 mins of leaving the port. Good scenery and not crowded.

A Tour worth it in St John's - We had a great tour with Iceberg quest. The boat ride was beautiful and we got to see 3 whales plus puffins. The boat staff on the tour was also great, very friendly and going out of their way to ensure kids had a good time and got the opportunity to see the whales. The only reason for the 4 stars vs 5 stars is their loading process - they should assign you a number based on when you check in and pickup your tickets instead of making you come back and wait in a long line that then isn't loaded in that same line order.
