As an older couple, we wanted to enjoy the vistas without a lot of physical exertion. The Iceberg Quest was an excellent option. The seating on the boat was comfortable, the staff were attentive to our needs. They made it clear that the season for viewing birds and marine mammals was past. Nevertheless, the ride out to Cape Spear and back was delightful. Our schedule that day was tight, so the boat crew called a taxi to the harbor to expedite our departure at the tour's end. The boat is in fine condition, very clean; the crew are enthusiastic and thoughtful. We had a wonderful time.

Excellent tour. It was a short and convenient 5 minute walk from where our cruise ship docked. The crew was excellent and fun. We saw a lot of playful dolphins that followed the boat, a few puffins in the water, a few bald eagles, and unexpectedly for me, we saw some Mola Mola" or the 'Ocean Sunfish'. The Captain took us past the Cape Spear Lighthouse for a nice photo op of the old and new lighthouses and the easternmost land mass in North America. The tour concluded with a traditional Screech-In Ceremony for those that 'Come From Away' and wanted to become honorary Newfoundlanders. My wife and I highly recommend this tour while you visit beautiful St. John's. And no, I didn't '🎶 bury her in the ocean!' 😅 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding tour. Saw many many dolphins, eagles, and had a great time. Crew is friendly and warm. Even did a screech in at the end for those who wanted to take part. Highly recommend!

We took the tour as part of our 30th anniversary trip to Newfoundland. The Captain and crew were absolutely fantastic making sure we were looked after. The highlight of the voyage was the “screeching in” ceremony making us proud honorary Newfoundlanders.

My wife and I and another couple did the Iceberg Quest boat tour on August 22. It was a sunny day about 18 C but the NE winds were cool so we wore toques! The boat was about 40-50 feet long so we did not feel the waves like a small boat would. The staff and Captain Barry were professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. At this time of year there were lot of sea birds and eagles but no whales and icebergs. We did not expect to see whales and icebergs but did enjoy viewing the coast line, Longisland Lighhouse, the hole in the wall, Spillars Cove and the Town of Twillingate from the water. I also got Screeched in and am now an honorary Newfoundlander! It was a great experience. I love Newfoundland and I will be back again soon!

The crew was first class all the way. Very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Wish they had some more reasonably priced local beers but that’s the only quibble. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

I am traveling solo and thought why not jump on a boat and see some sights and listen to a local musician. Sounds nice. But this crew was SO FUN! this 2 hour cruise was so much more than what I anticipated. The singer Chris Meyers was great and the Newfoundland folk songs were'nt corny - they were a blast. They surprised me with a 'Screeched In' ceremony!! I will never not smile and shake my head at how much fun I had on this 2 hour little trip. Thanks guys!! :o)

It was Amazing. I was hoping to a a whale, but it was more than I ever expected. I believe about 5 pairs. Captain gave us tips on where to watch and within minutes we could see them. Absolutely a must see!!!

We did the boat tour from Twillingate. There are no icebergs in July and there were supposedly very few overall in 2024. There were no whales. We learned that there are no puffins in Twillingate. The only birds we saw on the tour were seagulls! Commentary from staff was very limited, we didn’t learn much. Cliffs were impressive but you can see them well enough from the coast. So the boat tour was definitely not worth it.

This boat trip was a lot of fun. Even though we didn’t manage to see a whale on our particular cruise, it was great. No one can predict when or if you can see whales but we knew that going in. Nature isn’t there just for our Ientertainment afterall! But the crew onboard made sure everyone had the best time either way. I would definitely go again.

Friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable staff. Even though we didn’t see any whales or icebergs it was a wonderful, not to be missed experience.

Great staff! Beautiful rugged shorelines around and near Twillingate , and a spectacular sunny day! Got “Screeched” in.. sadly Mother Nature kept her icebergs and whales to herself ..

A nice boat ride period! No icebergs at all. Staff offered no commentary of the situation which was poor. Didn’t make much of an effort to view icebergs which obviously were not in the area. Spent the entire time cruising the inlet shore line. If you want to see icebergs go to St Anthony NOT Twillingate. Nobody on our boat ride was satisfied with the excursion. We were offered zero info on anything we saw. You could ask a crew member I guess, but you would think an explanation of what you were looking at was part of the trip. Poor experience all around.

This was just an expensive boat ride (over $200 for 2 people). We didn’t see any icebergs, or whales. Honestly, we were able to see more spectacular views from the trail hikes we went on prior to the tour.

What a great ride in Twillingate! It was cold, windy and some jolting swells, but so worth it! Captain Barry Rogers was clear on the safety instructions and let us know all points of interest. No icebergs, no whales - but seeing the beautiful Newfoundland coast was enough. Crew was also outstanding, walking around talking to everyone. Gillian got the party started with a couple of songs on the Ugly Stick. Thank you Iceberg Quest!
