$89.69
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Visit the largest puffin colony in North America.
Top-rated tour with a professional crew. Safe. Educational. Entertaining.
Treat yourself to the best views! Our elevated viewing decks keep you at eye level with nesting puffins for the best pictures and make it easier to spot icebergs and whales even when they are further away (think penthouse view versus ground floor view).

Abundant deck and rail space provide unobstructed views. If you’re lucky, the whales may choose to visit for a closer look! When they do, the superior viewing angles of the cat enable you to see deeper into the water to watch as they slip effortlessly beneath.
The seabird colony is at its finest from May through to late August (puffins stay through till mid/late September). Icebergs may be present early season and whales sometimes appear before or after peak season.
