3Newfoundland Whale Watching
The pristine waters of Newfoundland house several whale species during balmy summers, including the humpback, fin, pilot whales and more. The best time to be here is during July and August when you can witness innumerable humpbacks making their way into the ocean to feast on capeline. If you are fortunate, you’ll also spot dolphins and puffin sea birds. The best place to view these creatures is St. Anthony on the Great Northern Peninsula. Come early summer and you’ll spot plenty of icebergs. Some tour operators conduct tours that include among other things an interpretive series on the region’s marine life and culture.
