The water was a bit choppy but the captain did a great job of getting us straight to the iceberg. We were able to pull up right next to this 12,000 year old iceberg. Everybody was able to get lots of great pictures. Another tick on the bucket list. Highly recommend.

We found this outing at sea exceptional because the icebergs were there. We went around two huge icebergs, it was superb. A welcoming captain and his crew attentive, catchy music; in summary a good 2 unforgettable hours.

    Watching the whales, listening to the stories and just experiencing the ocean and the spectacular views from the boat was amazing. Many thank you’s to the wonderful crew members. I highly recommend these folks if you are looking for a memorable experience.

    Iceberg

    Vicki_M, Jul 2026
    The captain and crew went out of their way to ensure that we saw an iceberg. The boat tour was advertised as two hours and we were out on the water for four hours.

    Once in a lifetime experience!

    A once in a lifetime experience! MAKE SURE YOU DRESS WARMLY!! And don't forget your camera! This was definitely a must do & see in Twillingate.

    Nice afternoon activity, not too crowded, lively music, friendly company, and we did see an iceberg.

    Leonard_R, Jun 2026
    We went out on a foggy morning with fairly high seas in some areas. Several customers got sick but your crew was very caring and considerate of them and the safety and comfort of everyone. Then in the iceberg bay it was calmer and we spent lots of time exploring the iceberg from every angle. I also enjoyed chatting with the skipper and crew.

    Good tour

    Joan_W, Jun 2026
    Really good cruise but wish they had told us there would be no whales. They told us after that it’s too early to see the whales. I was hoping to see whales and icebergs for the price

    Good tour in good weather

    Victor_D, Jun 2026
    If the icebergs are too far and bad weather, the captain has to hurry back home and some people experience sea sickness.

    Unforgettable

    Cathy_B, Jun 2026
    Dress warm. My husband and I went went out water was rough coming back in windy and started raining but for us it was so total worth it!!! Amazing

    Twillingate Iceberg Tour

    99 people aboard. A bit too crowed and not enough seating for all. The cabin is certainly not what l would consider "heated". One door was completely open and there was one seat where the heat flowed into the cabin. The captain and crew were excellent and fun. A bit expensive and then expected to pay $ for a golf cart ride. Many folks didn't realise that a park pass was required for the boat trip although that it is mentioned when purchasing tickets. We saw one large iceberg and the captain did a great job to provide photo shots from all angles.

    Really incredible experience. We had so much fun! We got right up close to a pretty epic iceberg and got great pictures!

    Beautiful icebergs!

    Kelly_M, Jun 2026
    Dress for the weather. Capt. Barry was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw 2 icebergs and Capt. Barry made sure you had a perfect view no matter where you were on the boat.

    Icebergs!!!!!

    Despite the choppy seas this experience was very cool! The staff were courteous and friendly and professional! Highly recommend!

    Iceberg diver

    Helene_M, Jun 2026
    Nice spacious boat for viewing from the upper and lower decks. We were blessed with the rarity of iceberg climbers and a female diver from Redbull that were sponsoring and filming this awesome event. So lucky to witness this. Captain and crew had never seen anything like it. They harvested some of the iceberg ice for us to taste and take back with us . The iceberg itself was breathtaking! Gave us the opportunity to go a day early as the weather was not great for our scheduled day.

    Average tour, nothing special

    Robert_D, Jun 2026
    Two deck boat (bottom deck enclosed) was good which allowed you to come inside to get out of the rain and cold. Saw folks going out on a large Zodiac all bundled up in jackets they provided. Talked to one of them and he said it was terribly cold and they got spray from the waves so our choice was definitely better in this very cold, windy and rainy weather.

    Fabulous

    Micheline_F, Jun 2026
    Well worth it. Loved the extra attention, when one of your workers came over and had a good chat. Explaining things and just all around fun

    Dressed warmly and enjoyed the big show!

    auBrey_F, Jun 2026
    I went on the June 10th 9:30 AM ride. Dressed warmly so I was well-prepared for the chilling morning air. With physical comfort taken care of, I was able to focus on the fantastic 2 icebergs we ventured to and circled a few times. Loved the excursion!

    Up close to the ice

    Lin_L, Jun 2026
    This was an excellent outing, despite the cold, wet weather. We were able to get very close to the icebergs, and the skipper was very informative.

    Must do!!!😀

    Michel_B, Jun 2026
    It was on my bucket list and it’s Even more impressive when you are up close. The staffs are very friendly!!!

    Francis_B, Jun 2026
    More people on board than expected. Was a bit crowded in the cabin as it was cold and raining. Other than this, experience was very good.

    Amazing icebergs

    Dayna_G, Jun 2026
    Great icebergs but unfortunately no whale this day. If that's your goal then Twillingate is great. I think we could have done this in Bay Bulls as icebergs were spotted there and not made the long drive to Twillingate. I had my elderly parents start by sitting inside as it was cold but the rough waters were so bad, many people got motion sickness. I'd advise a gravol before heading out.

    A worthy adventure

    David_J, Jun 2026
    Fun and professional crew. An abundance of icebergs and interesting facts. Warm, wind and waterproof clothing recommended.

    Excellent experience and a great friendly crew. Seeing icebergs up close is amazing and a sight everyone should see.

    Raymond_H, Jun 2026
    Crew is very informative and entertaining. They are also eager to help. It was a very enjoyable experience.

    Glorious iceberg experience

    Heather_R, Jun 2026
    Dress warmly!! It’s absolutely wonderful to get so close to these beautiful icebergs. The captain made us feel very safe out there on the water.

    Great Way to see Icebergs and Whales

    Lowell_W, Jun 2026
    Crew was very knowledgeable and helpful. Made sure all passengers had an opportunity to see and photo the two icebergs we circled. Scouted out a whale too.

    Amazing Iceberg tours

    My husband and I travelled with my 84 yr young mother and 82 yr young aunt, we all had a great experience, the staff was amazing, and the icebergs were incredible, we came from British Columbia, my aunt was from New Brunswick. Great time ❤️
