All Newfoundland & Labrador Tours & Excursions in 2026

6 of us embarked on this magnificent tour during our recent stay in Newfoundland. We were there celebrating our birthdays as a group of friends and were so pleased that we chose Gatherall's. When there was impending weather in the upcoming forecast they quickly connected with us by phone to ensure we had time to reschedule our trip. We were so pleased that they took this initiative ahead of time for us to be able to comfortably move things around. The hospitality in the shop and on the boat was just exquisite, this family run business truly invites you in to share their love of nature and expertise throughout the experience. From the beautiful songs sung as you exit and enter the harbour, to the many interesting facts of the geography, animal life and factual, yet comical, description of a day in the life of a puffin that were shared during the ride exceeded our expectations. We chose to screech in on the boat and could not be happier with that decision, it was a fun filled process that kept you engaged and laughing throughout. We will be sure to recommend to others traveling to Newfoundland. Thank you again Gatherall's, long may your big jib draw!

Barry! You were right! We had lunch at the bagel Café and it was out of this world! This tour was perfect for somebody who doesn’t have a lot of time to spend in St. John’s. You’ll see a little bit of everything in a comfortable van in small groups. Barry was a wonderful host and provided commentary the entire time. There’s plenty of time to look around and take pictures and even do a little bit of shopping. It’s the perfect taste of St. John’s.!

Mark Welshman was such a welcoming ànd warm tour guide. Loved the pub lunch and the stop at MerryMeeting arts and crafts shop where we had a delicious homemade partridgeberry bun. The scenery along the coastline was simply stunning and the locals we met along the way were so friendly and gracious. Highly recommend this trip.

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They did a great job communicating information about the species we saw and the history of the area. Humour added to the entertainment and the fact that we saw Puffins, Minke Whales and Ocean sunfish and other birds was exactly what we were looking for! Boat was comfortable for a large group and no shortage of seating or areas to move about to optimize picture opportunities.

This food tour is a must! Mackenzie was an awesome tour guide. We have family from Newfoundland but we still learned so much about the history including the coca cola boycott. Every stop had awesome food and we ticked off some bucket list places and dishes all at once. With so many things to do while visiting, this should top the list!

This is a really fun trip. The crew is knowledgeable and very entertaining. They sang us songs, made sure we all got to see the Puffins and the lone Sunfish. They also shared information about the geology of the islands. Recommended for adults and older kids.

Isaac was an excellent guide, he explained much of the history- keeping it simple and interesting-the culture, language etc while walking between the major sights and significant buildings and avoiding steep climbs. He welcomed and answered all our questions. A thorough and comprehensive introduction to St John’s in just under 2 hours. Highly recommended

We had a fun experience with the crew who were very accommodating and engaged with everyone on the cruise. We were lucky enough to see 2 humpback whales! The captain was able to circle around the whales for about 30 minutes so everyone was able to see them and take amazing pictures. We were too late to see icebergs but the whales stole the show! Awesome way to spend a couple of hours and enjoy the views of this beautiful island.
