Nice boat ride - Ice burg quest boat tour. The staff were great and very informative. Unfortunately we went to late in the season to see any ice burgs. The boat was comfortable, we could sit inside or outside. The views were scenic as we travelled along the coast of Twilligate

A Must Do in Twillingate!!! - A wonderful experience from start to finish. Jillian greeted us at the beginning to set the tone for the trip. She is delightful! The deckhands Gary & Barry were great guides for the area and kept us in stitches. The Captain ensure we had a smooth steam with plenty to see. Highly recommend getting screeched in on board.

A fu way to see Twillingate from the sea - The Captain was knowledgeable; the crew members were friendly and fun; and the office staff was helpful. As we watched the humpback whales swim around our boat, the captain predicted what they might do and gave us information about them. We had mentioned to one of the crew members that we had not been able to participate in a Newfoundland tradition of “screeching,” and he remembered that we wanted to try it. He came to us later in the trip and made sure we got “screeched.”

Worth the trip and time! - Crew was fun and helpful. We had lovely weather. Too late in season for ice burgs, but the whales were terrific. Highly recommended.

A must do in Twillingham - This was a fantastic trip. The icebergs almost look CGI and we had the added bonus of seeing whales. One picture is better than the rest, and on the way back, the crew entertained us with sea shanties. Highly recommended!

Highlight of our Vacation - Worth the Drive - This was an absolute highlight of our entire trip, and I would travel all the way from Colorado, USA to experience this again. We got to interact with the entire crew, who have lived and worked here their whole lives and had many interesting facts and stories to share. There were no whales on our trip, but plenty of bergs, which are much easier to get pictures of than whales! If you are going specifically for ice bergs I recommend calling ahead to make sure there are some around. We went in July and there were 6 to see, but they melt in a few weeks, so it's hard to know in advance whether they will have any, especially in the summer. Completely unexpected live music show and accordion demo with Terrance at the end was the highlight of our whole vacation, thanks!

Up close view of icebergs - The crew did a wonderful job circling the icebergs slowly in both directions so all passengers would have a front row view. Our questions about icebergs were answered in detail. A beautiful day with sunny weather and calm seas made for a memorable trip. One of the crew played Newfoundland tunes on his accordion which was a delight.

Twillingate Tour was fantastic! - The 4.5 hour drive from St. John's to Twillingate was worth every minute as we saw so many beautiful icebergs! Rick and crew even circled closely around most of the icebergs so passengers on each side could take photos. We also enjoyed exploring the town. Lunch at Pier 39 was so delicious we returned for dinner too. (You must have the lobster bisque!)
