Experience Your Adventure in Newfoundland & Labrador’s beautiful Conception Bay where some of natural world’s greatest wonders provide many a breathtaking encounter for nature tourists in the form of icebergs and whales.
Springtime is when many a ’berg from Greenland reaches it’s journey’s end in Conception Bay and several can be approached safely, offering a unique, exciting experience to visitors who want something a little different to ‘bore the neighbours’ with when they return home! Summer sees the arrival of vast shoals of Caplin fish – ‘whale food’ – which attract many species of these stunning animals, including enormous Humpbacks, friendly Belugas and the occasional Narwhal. Getting ‘up close and personal’ with whales is a truly amazing encounter with nature which leaves indelible memories. Some are extremely inquisitive and will often spend long periods close to Ocean Quest’s boats.
Sightseeing at it’s Finest!!
Wherever you go in Conception Bay, there’s something of natural or historical interest to excite visitors. The MV Ocean Quest will take you to islands and coves once frequented by infamous pirates Henry Morgan and Peter Easton or cruise through the calm waters near Bell Island where Hitler’s U-Boats torpedoed Allied ships during the Battle of the Atlantic. A wide variety of marine life, seabirds, bald eagles, caves and awesome geological formations carved by glaciers millions of years ago provide photographers with exciting subjects.
