Trinity Bay Whale Watching Tours
Trinity whale watching
Board a speedboat or tour boat at Trinity's wharf to see humpback whales, minke whales, seabirds and icebergs in Trinity Bay.
Each summer, large numbers of humpback and minke whales follow capelin into Trinity Bay. Several companies in Trinity Town offer 2–3 hour whale-watching trips aboard rigid-hulled inflatable boats or small tour boats. You can often see whales spyhopping, lobtailing and breaching up close, along with puffins, gannets and other seabirds, and icebergs occasionally drift nearby in June. Peak season runs from late June to August, with prices of about C$90–120 per person, and advance booking is essential. Speedboats are bumpy and it is cold on the water, so operators usually provide insulated survival suits. Trips may be cancelled or rescheduled if the sea conditions are poor.
Opening hours
Approx. Jun–Sep, several departures daily (weather permitting)
