Things to do in Newfoundland & Labrador
When it comes to viewing icebergs, Twillingate is one of the best places in the world. These 10,000-year-old glacial giants come in every shape and size, with colours ranging from snow-white to the deepest aquamarine. In addition to the iceberg’s shape and size, observe the colour streaks, caves and tunnels, waterline notches, and even the large rocks embedded in the ice. You’ll often spy birds perched atop icebergs, and if they suddenly fly off, it might be a sign the iceberg is about to roll or break apart, a spectacular treat for the eyes and ears. Icebergs are best viewed in late May and early June.
On a specially designed boat you have the opportunity to not only watch Icebergs but also whales such as humpback, Minke and finback, Atlantic Dolphins and seals. Between May and September, whales can be seen breaching the surface of the water and playing along the shores. Catching a single glimpse of these huge and majestic mammals is an exciting and awesome experience. You may also see native sea birds like terns, black quillenot, kittewakes, seagulls, puffins, murres, and shearwaters.
