Best Whale Watching Tours in Newfoundland

I just read a whale watching review by someone in Michigan today who was here and only mentioned one boat tour with the title Best Whale Watching in Newfoundland.. I thought that is a pretty limited point of view as to what we see. SO I said to myself "Hey Skipper Bob, you are an expert maybe you should throw your hat in the arena and venture some opinions." Though biased because I am a whale aficionado(self proclaimed by the way). I know of few others around who are more passionate about whales who has personally observed (and filmed) their feeding, breeding and migratory behaviour. Plus I have even caught them well... erghhh... unghhhh... well farting!!!😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

I have travelled to the south in The Dominican Republic and ventured offshore to the Silver Banks where the mothers bear the young. Seeing a newborn calf exploring its surroundings while some strange two legged creature swims around for an unknown purpose to him. 

There is magic in that. There is magic in listening and filming an inverted Humpback singer calling out his lonely call to others. 

I have filmed a sleeping Humpback in the northern waters of Trinity Bay my home and the base for our tours. Don't watch all the way to the end as it is not exciting to watch someone sleep!!

We have thousands of pictures, videos and personal experiences to share from our nine consecutive years on the water. So yeah I am going to say I am an expert!  Plus we have been kissed by a whale and I have the video to prove it. Don't worry Finnegan I am not the kind to kiss and tell, well maybe in your case.

Growing up in the province I have travelled almost everywhere you could possibly go, experience, swim, dive, walk and film of this island we call home. I love this place there is no place I would rather be. You know how you tell all the Newfoundlanders in heaven? They are the ones that still want to go home!!!!!
I will say the Northeast Avalon is among the best if not the best for whale watching. With a combination of spawning Capelin which draws the whales. the Fin, Humpback and Minke whales that migrate to feed on them. Combined with the fact that we get such splendid icebergs, Puffins, Northern Gannets, Cormorrants, Bald Eagles, spectacular seascapes and caves Best Whale Watching yeah we do that!!!


Well we have the most to see that I know of in just one tour. We have the videos. pictures and testimonials to prove it.

Whale Watching FAQ Planning your trip to the island man!! (When global warming truly kicks in I think we will be the next Jamaica!) Looking to see the lumbering behemoths, the gentle giants of the sea, those amazing cetaceans that inspire us, amaze us and instill that wonderful sense of natural awe? Well Newfoundland is the place to do it with the largest annually returning numbers of cetaceans (whales) in the world  to feed right here! As I say to be well informed is to be well armed, so here is the information you need to have a spectacular whale tour any time of the season according to our expert, Skipper Bob Bartlett! When is the best time to see whales in Newfoundland? Whales migrate north from areas of the South North Atlantic (Oxymoron I know) like the Dominican Republic. They start to arrive in April and continue arriving through the season. Whales do not necessarily stop to feed in one place all summer but move around so like our friend Finnegan the Humpbac

"Skipper Bob Do Whales Fart?" my young guest asked me.

"Skipper Bob do whales fart?" my young guest asked me. Of course it brought some laughter to the group I was leading at the time. Only 6 year olds can ask such straightforward questions without rebuke! Well it stumped me for a minute or two. Whales have digestive tracts like all mammals with a stomach and intestines. One of the reasons I had heard experts claim whales breached was to help to evacuate their bowels so did this mean that they did not have the gas propellant in their digestive tracts to aid in this necessary function. SO I had to look up and tell him I was not sure. I had never seen a whale have flatulence though  I was pretty sure I had smelled something similiar on our excursions. The smell I always said was the whale's breath but what if it wasn't! That sulphurous odiferous smell on occasion could be exactly what it smelled like GAS! Whales make scat in the ocean all the time and I have seen it on many occasions and occasionally have swam through t
