Whales, Icebergs, & Birds

Newfoundland and Labrador features 22 species of whales in its coastal waters and is also considered as the Seabird Capital of North America. Depending on the season, you can see whales playing from the shore and a large variety of seabirds flying over head. Heading out on a boat or sea kayaking tour might provide a better view of these 36-ton giants and there are numerous ecological reserves for the birding enthusiasts.

The waters off Newfoundland and Labrador's northeast shore are appropriately called "Iceberg Alley". Each year, these two hundred thousand ton chunks of ice drift by our shores, tumbling, twirling, and breaking into magnificent shapes and figures before melting in the warm waters southeast of Newfoundland. Take a look from shore or head out on a boat or sea kayaking tour to get up close to these natural wonders.
