My memories: Eastern Newfoundland Whale Tours!
A Remarkable Journey in Discover Eastern NL!
Guess what? I had the most fantastic time whale watching in Eastern NL! It was worth the wait, and we had a blast exploring this beautiful region for seven whole days. We spent around 40 hours on boats and chilling on the pretty shores by the water in search of the Remarkable Sighting of the Elusive Whale That Never Breached!

Cape Spear
Let me tell you about the best part – the whale-watching at Cape Spear, just 15 minutes away from St. John’s by car. It was like a dream come true! We saw two whales playing and having a blast near the cape during the caplin season. We watched them playing and splashing around – so playful and cute! But here’s the funny part – when we left for dinner, one of the whales breached, and we missed it but managed to see the images from another photographer. Talk about lousy timing!
But don’t worry; Cape Spear has more to offer than just whale watching. The place is a treasure trove of awesomeness! They have a stunning Lighthouse, beautiful walking trails with great views, yummy ice cream to enjoy, and clean washrooms for your convenience. We had an incredible day, and I’ll be smiling about it for years! Enjoy some of the images we captured.
As the day ended, we left Cape Spear with hearts full of gratitude for our enchanting encounter with these incredible creatures. The combination of witnessing the whales’ playful antics and enjoying the delights of Cape Spear made it an experience we would cherish for a lifetime.
So, if you find yourself at Cape Spear someday, be prepared for an enchanting rendezvous with nature’s gentle giants and an array of delightful experiences that will leave you with a sense of wonder and joy. Happy whale watching in a Parks Canada destination, and don’t forget the lighthouse!
Tucked into Bulls Bay, just a quick 30-minute jaunt from St. John’s, make sure to carve out an additional half-hour to bask in the beauty of the mesmerizing eastern coast – it’s a shutterbug’s dream! Now, let’s talk about Gatherall’s Tours – the ultimate fun hub. They weave enchantment into every moment, creating experiences that linger in your memory. Gatherall’s Tours transforms your day into a saga of excitement, from playful whale watching to the thrill of exploration.
And that’s not all! After your adventure-packed tour, stroll through their mini aquarium, a window into the underwater world of local fish and shellfish. It’s heartening to know that the locals tenderly return these creatures to their natural waters as the season winds down.
But wait, there’s a delightful cherry on top – Tinker’s ice cream spot! Treat yourself to creamy scoops of happiness while relishing a panoramic view of the charming fishing village. Gatherall’s Tours doesn’t just offer an experience; it crafts a tale of joy, discovery, and flavour-filled indulgence.
Whale Wonders and Seafood Delights: Our St. Vincent’s Adventure!
Hey, explorers! Get ready for a wild ride through our St. Vincent’s journey. Think foggy beaches, awe-inspiring whales, and seafood feasts that’ll have your taste buds dancing!
Imagine us braving the misty beach – tough on our legs, like an unexpected workout. But the payoff? Oh, so worth it! The waves gently crashed as majestic whales stole the spotlight, giving us a show we’ll never forget.
Now, the food part of our story. After leg day and whale watching, we stumbled upon the Celtic Notch – a food paradise just 20 minutes from the beach. This place isn’t your average eatery; it’s a treasure trove of culinary magic. Their specialty? Crazy-fresh seafood that’ll make you do a happy dance with every bite.
The Celtic Notch takes seafood seriously, serving ocean goodness like no other. Does each dish tell a tale of St. Vincent’s coastal charm and the portions? Let’s say no one leaves hungry!
To summarize, our St. Vincent’s escapade was a whirlwind of misty challenges, breathtaking whale tail sightings, and a seafood extravaganza fit for kings. If you’re around, don’t miss out on these unforgettable experiences.
Returning to Trinity, 3 hours away from St. Johns, a beautiful little village bursting with Inns, restaurants and tours with Trinity Echo Tours. Captain Bob, my second time touring with him, got me my first whale sighting four years ago, and again this year, I got to see a breaching whale, with no images as I was in awe with the size of the humpback in front of me and that is where most of the elusive whale story comes from.
Why Captain Bob?
Captain Bob has been excellent to me and my guests, and I keep sending clients and returning to his Inn and tours. What to do in Trinity? Book 4-wheeler tours with Trinity Echo Tours, whales, puffins and, of course, the elite Stellar’s Sea Eagle hanging out there for the past two summer seasons. To eat, reserve at the Twine Loft for their delicious 3-course evening, and if you are lucky, you will meet the owner!
We will return for The Remarkable Sighting of the Elusive Whale That Never Breached in 2024.
