5 Amazing Newfoundland Boat Tours

As the song goes, “Thank God We’re Surrounded By Water”

Newfoundland is indeed surrounded by water! While it’s appreciated by locals, and a large part of our culture, it’s not something all of us think about every day. That’s why it’s always fun to see tourists react to the experience of being so close to the ocean. It is a reminder for us locals to appreciate what we have.

While you’re here, don’t just look at the water from on shore! You can get much closer with one of the great local boat tour operators.

Enjoying a boat tour in Newfoundland will get you up close and personal with some stunning scenery, icebergs, puffins, whales, and more!

Whether you’re in the Grose Morne area or on the Avalon, there are boat tours across the island that provide amazing experiences. Not only will you get to see the beauty, but a tour guide will provide some information on the sights. Many boats also serve drinks, so you may enjoy a locally brewed beer while the sea breeze blows through your hair.

Here are some of the province’s best boat tours.
