Reviews of Northland Discovery Iceberg & Whale Tours (Zoo)

Tom

My wife and I went out with this tour company in St Anthony. We were treated in a very professional manner by the captain and crew.Seeing the ice bergs was very interesting and fun.Imagining that these bergs were a brake away from Greenland and drifting into the North Atlantic.All the other passengers were from various parts of the world.A bit cool out on the water,dressing warm is a presequence as it was cool out on the tour.

Excellent tour. They went the extra mile giving us extra time to enjoy the sight of the whales.

My favourite part of our trip to Newfoundland! Saw fin whales and humpback whales, as well as a beautiful iceberg (in August!).

First class boat tour of Coastal North Newfoundland. We had an opportunity in late July to see a monster 90 foot iceberg, humpback whales, white beak dolphins, and countless gannets diving. The boat was professionally skippered and the interpretive guide was right out of National Geographic. You can feel a passion for nature on this tour that will last a lifetime. To all my Ontario friends - you gotta get on board this boat to believe it.

Wonderful tour with a friendly crew!

Mike C

Crew was extremely knowable and answered questions not only about the boat trip but about the area as well. Chased all opportunities for whale sightings as well as icebergs.

Justin K

This was one of the better whale watching excursions I've been on. We were out for a couple of hours and saw lots of whales and dolphins. The staff were all very knowledgeable and friendly.

David J Brooks

Great tour good boat knowledgeable and friendly staff must see

Peter Sorensen

Best tour I have been on, humpbacks and minke were seen.

Kevin Kreutzer

An amazing tour with an amazing guide. We saw a humpback and an ice berg, but even if you don't see anything, the scenery is beautiful.

Alan Steed

This was a perfect boat tour. Apart from seeing 7 jump backed whales, and two icebergs, Steven (our tour guide) was a mine of information..and very humorous, too!

Danny Allain

Great to see Icebergs but be ready for a bit of sea sickness

Martha Cox

Great tour with very entertaining and informative narrative by Steve. Saw some early season humpback whales and of course, iceberg!

Jane Copeland

We had a wonderful day out whale watching. The whales were being shy but the crew or persistent. We ended up with really good sightings, quite a treat this late in the season! Highly recommend.

Beautiful ride and exciting experience.

Atlantic Dragon

Awesome experience...lots of Wales...a must do when you go to Newfoundland

Peter Claghorn

Really knowledgeable and seasoned crew allowed us to see whales and a ton (well many tons) of icebergs. Great, highly informed running commentary provided in depth iceberg info. The guys appeared to be fully compliant and concerned about providing for the well being of the whales they monitor. First rate experience

Not only are the icebergs and whales incredible to see, the crew is amazing. The captain brought us to a stunning glacier and helped us spot whales and the guide is incredibly knowledgeable and funny. In addition, he went out of his way to help our group once we were back on land. This was my second tour with them and I can't wait to go again!

It was an overcast day, drizzling and a bit dreary but warm by Newfoundland standards (it was that brief period of summer after all) and by gawd we saw whales. I even caught a humpback breaching. The guides/staff were very friendly and patient and did their utmost to find whales, which took a bit. For those visiting from distant shores, shores unlike these take the time to really look as you come in and out of port and also imagine what it must be like here during the long winters, rugged and ice and snow covered, far below freezing.

Highly recommended you take this tour. We had an unbelievable view of whales and icebergs. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job. Worth every penny

Elena D

Great guides and well-prepared boats with blankets and jackets if you get cold. Visited the sea cave, and we saw three humpbacks and a pod of dolphins!

Bryce Hudson

Staff were great. Guide was super personable and provided a ton of information about whales and the local area.

Edward Yen

I've taken many boat tours in Atlantic Canada and this one is the most enjoyable. The guide is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor, and shows great enthusiasm at what he does. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the enjoyment and safety of their customer. We were blessed and saw many whales and a giant iceberg on our tour (mid July).

Ashley Conn

AMAZING experience! During the second week of August I traveled from Ohio with family to see the whales here and this tour did not dissapoint. The crew is very experienced on the waters and hosting tour guides. I felt safe the entire time. 15 mintues after leaving shore we saw a whale breach. We were barely 300 ft from the shore and didnt have to travel much farther the entire trip. The tour guide said we were spolied because it was a day he's never experience in all his years! They always see whale but ours was special because the whales stayed to play! Two humpback whales came right to our boat and played for the entire two hour tour. Then two more joined the fun. We even got sprayed.

Eliza Jane

We didn't have a lot of money so this was a big splurge for us - Totally worth it. Amazing tour, great guides, worth every penny.

LC

Great guide and views.

David

Great time

Janice Burdon

I was very impressed by how much the guide wanted us to see whales. He had spotted Orcas on the last tour and then rushed to where they were and caught up with them. The Orcas came alongside our boat! We also saw Mink and Humpback whales! The highlight for my husband and I was seeing our first berg. It was awesome! The boat circled twice around and allowed us to take good photos! It was cold so dress warm when going out! Great all round tour! Thanks ever so much!

Norman Pointer

We took this two hour tour earlier this month and we were not disappointed. We spent a good hour sailing up and down a rocky cove following two humpbacks who were feeding and completely ignoring us. We were able to get quite close and this made for good photos. Recommended highly.

Sue Code

Our guide Steve spent a good deal of time giving us some great facts about whales and local information. We were lucky enough to see whales that were lunge feeding! Awesome boat tour!

Great tour. You can see icebergs up close and even eat iceberg ice if they manage to net some. You also get to see whales and dolphins (big jumps if you are lucky). Other features include a sea cave and trivia such as how to mimic moose cry and insight on newfoundlander accent.
