A 2-hour Twillingate boat tour through Iceberg Alley for iceberg views, possible humpback whales, and a Long Point Lighthouse photo stop.
“I have very mixed feelings about this experience. The captain did a great job of finding and getting us to an iceberg which was awesome. He certainly went above and beyond to ensure we could see the iceberg up close by making this a three hour excursion instead of two. The downside was that the seas were rough and nearly have the passengers got sick. However, the staff handled it well giving out bags and making sure everyone was as comfortable as possible.”
