I cannot say enough about how great this trip was. I was part of a group of 4, and Barry and Kelly were the perfect hosts! We got right up next to what's left of the ice island off of Twillingate, on flat seas. Barry and Kelly scooped up bergy bits out of the ocean for us, and gave us... More

Our timing was good, as there were many icebergs around and we got to see them on the day before the tours closed for a few days due to weather. The crew were fun and involved, and we even got to see a jig! They also gave in to a request from a passenger to collect some pieces of ice... More

There was an iceberg quite close to Twillingate when we went on the tour - you actually could see it from land, so were in luck. The boat went directly to the iceberg and we spent about 1/2 hour circling it and then returned. The iceberg was huge and spectacular. However not much to the tour otherwise. I believe there... More

Barry was knowledgeable and friendly. The scenery was outstanding, the rugged coast line and sea birds in the clear blue skies off Twillingate. The trip was very exciting and energetic. A massive humpback literally put off a display for the IceBerg Quest guests for at least one hour. The best tour ever. The hair stood on my neck. My co-workers... More
