Ecotours Zodiac Adventures - Witless Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador

Daniel H.

Had a great tour. We got a little unlucky with the whales according to the other reviews. We saw two whales. One of them dove and we never saw him come back up. The other one was hanging around our boat for the rest of the tour.

We went to the bird preserve/conservation area and saw a ton of birds.

Zodiacs are the best way to experience whales in their natural habitat. These guys did a great job as they answered any questions we had and did their very best to get us to the right spot for whales. Best whale watching experience I've ever had. We lucked out and had lots of whales to see today. Highly recommend them.

Very helpful friendly tour guide. In the small zodiac we felt much closer to the whales and sea birds than in the larger boat. Loads of very active whales seen on our tour. The highlight of our holiday.

I just got back from my whaling adventure with Tyler and I am beyond grateful for his kindness, professionalism and expertise!!! What a fantastic experience being around more than 20 whales!!! They came right to our zodiac and the photos/videos I have will prove it! I highly recommend Ecotours for all your NL whaling experiences!

Such an amazing experience! Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and fun. Plus you get to be in a zodiac without 100 other people crowded around you. We were right besides 2 humpback whales within the first 10 minutes of the trip. You also don’t waste time as the boat is quick and agile. Even if we hadn’t seen whales it would have been worth it. We were taken right into a sea cave and so close to puffins that they were flying literally within feet of us. I would highly recommend ecotours for the adventurous traveller who wants a more personalized and exciting experience. Thanks Tyler and Joannna!

This boat tour is certainly an adventure—probably not a good idea if you’ve got a fragile stomach though. We got to see puffins and Mers and a rather large bergy bit (iceberg) up close. Though the waters were a bit rough I had complete confidence in our captain. You’ll have a new love for neon orange 😉

What an amazing tour! We had the pleasure to see the coastal cliffs of the Avalon peninsula, that demonstrated the beauty and power of nature. The puffins were a given and the whales a bonus at this time of year (mid-August). Highly recommended!

Saw 3 whales, a pack of dolphins, and hundreds of Puffins and other bird species! We felt like we were part of the search as we spotted whales with our tour guide, Ray. He shared a lot of interesting insight about the whales and birds, and had a great sense of humour. Being a smaller craft, we were able to get closer to the whales and birds than the large boats, and he also took us to a beautiful cave inlet! Highly recommend Ecotours!
