Witless Bay Islands Park Reserve

Boat ride out was amazing along with all the puffins!

Saw thousands of puffin and murres! Such cute flying penguin" ! The Alcidae family includes the auks

A true natural wonder of the province. A short trip will show hundreds of thousands of sea birds. A very unique place to see.

Well worth a visit.

Absolutely worth visiting and seeing in person. It was insane seeing so many birds in one place back in May, 2019 - which was peak breeding season. You can't get super close to the islands via tours because the waters are too rocky surrounding the islands. So the downside is if you're trying to take pictures it's a huge challenge to be far away on a shaky boat (due to Atlantic waves). If you get motion sickness you need to take serious precautions I guarantee you will get sick. It also gets seriously cold out on the water - especially considering winds and in spring. Make sure you dress warmly. If you've never seen a puffin before be aware they are tiny birds. It's fun to see them haphazardly fly and dive - they are surprisingly terrible fliers!

Interesting place to discover. Amazing view of ocean

Incredible spot for puffins, whales and many other seabirds. Be sure to check out Gatherall's Puffin & Whale Watch.

We did the Zodiac Ecotour along the coastline and around the Islands. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and a skilled driver. May have been my favorite part of my trip

Beautiful spot, especially for bird lovers. The weather wasn't too cooperative for us unfortunately.

We travelled to the Witless Bay islands with the fine folks from Gatheralls Tours. The islands are truly amazing! Teaming with life! Our knowledgeable crew were able to fill us in on the countless facts and figures as it relates to the many bird species that inhabit the islands. It is an incredible journey. If you are lucky you might also see some whales...Gatheralls is a world class adventure tour. It is well worth the time and money invested on your vacation to The Rock.
