Fantastic trip that was extended past the original 2 hours so everyone on board had time to view the Icebergs. Captain and his crew made it an informative, enjoyable and amazing experience. Probably the best trip we have ever booked through Viator, a truly unforgettable few hours , thanks to all at Iceberg Quest. The highlight of our short trip to Newfoundland, highly recommended

Iceberg Quest delivered!! We saw an amazing 50ft high iceberg and got right up close. We were able to take incredible pictures. The guide and crew were great. There were a number of people that we screeched in as well.

Awesome experience! The captain was respectful to the whales and kept us informed of whale sightings. The crew were informative and entertaining! If you haven’t been ‘screeched in’ you can do it on the boat while out of the harbour 😊

We did not see whales. However the scenery was beautiful and the crew we'rewe are amazing! They brought out an ugly stick and sang us plenty of songs.

Boat ride massively extended to chase down one of the season’s last icebergs. So grateful for the chance to see it. Thanks to the intrepid crew!

Everything was wonderful staff came sound often to make sure everything was good, took pictures for us
Linda_B, Jul 2025
They made a great effort to deliver on seeing an iceberg. A 2 hour tour was turned into a 4 hour tour just to make it happen.

Do not go if it’s foggy or rough seas, everyone was getting sick my hubby is currently in hospital dealing with motion sickness and effects had on dementia

I have very mixed feelings about this experience. The captain did a great job of finding and getting us to an iceberg which was awesome. He certainly went above and beyond to ensure we could see the iceberg up close by making this a three hour excursion instead of two. The downside was that the seas were rough and nearly have the passengers got sick. However, the staff handled it well giving out bags and making sure everyone was as comfortable as possible.

It was a lot of fun. We were there in June and it was a little bit chilly but not bad. We did get to see iceberg and a couple of humpback whales and it was a lot of fun.
Carolyn_L, Jun 2025
Great view of the icebergs. Enjoyed it throughly! Crew was friendly knowegable and helpful. Also gave us tips on what else there was too in the area.
Bryan_G, Jun 2025
Tour was exactly as advertised. We saw whales, gannets, seals and icebergs. The crew was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We would certainly take the tour again if we were in the area.
Axinia_D, Jun 2025
It was raining, windy and cold, but the experience was worth every minute of it! The crew on land and on board were fantastic. The main attraction, a medium sized iceberg was beautiful! The littles around it were not bad winter ;)
Philippe_B, Jun 2025
Great experience and saw a beautiful iceberg. The sea was fairly rough and many people had sea sickness but that was not the tour operators fault. Good explanations, excellent crew.
Vince_N, Jun 2025
There is certainly an element of luck. We were lucky on June 5, 2025. There was a magnificent, large berg just outside the harbour!!
Mona_S, Jun 2025
This was a most awesome excursion on the ocean chasing icebergs! Such an informative crew and had great interaction with travelers.
Seanna_L, Jun 2025
Had a great time! Enjoyed the icebergs, they are stunning! Didn’t know that the ice spoke so much! The crew was very good. They kept us entertained and were friendly with all.

Excellent tour. Great iceberg sighting with captain Barry and crew. We took the morning tour and it ran closer to 3 hours.

We booked the tour to see icebergs and we were not disappointed. We saw 4 icebergs and the captain spent time driving around each iceberg so that everyone on the boat could get pictures. It was an amazing experience. Staff were helpful and provided information and spent time talking to all the guests aboard.
Debbie_G, Jul 2024
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.
Dan_Q, Jul 2024
Costal tour was magnificent. Didn’t see many whales maybe 5 over the course of the 2 hour tour. Not the operators fault
Laurie_G, Jul 2024
The tour knew we were not going to see any whales or icebergs and still charged full price. Very expensive boat ride. Crew was very good but tour company should not charge full price if there is nothing to see.
Martina_H, Jul 2024
The crew was very friendly and full of information. The views were stunning, pictures don’t do it justice. To late in the year for icebergs but still well worth it!
Douglas_G, Jul 2024
We got to see Eagle and Osprey nest. They are a fun and informative crew. The captain performed some amazing maneuvering around lobster pot lines.
Ken_E, Jun 2024
Unfortunately there were no icebergs or whales which I knew that was a possibility but there was was very little effort put in by the crew . Little commentary or next to none and if you want to purchase anything which I wanted the guy was too busy on his phone . Disappointed
