We had an excellent time with tour guide Leo. He showed us a lot of the St.John’s area as explained the history. Our boat was fantastic! We saw some Humpback Whales and the captain explained some more history about the coast.

Very disappointed in this expensive trip. Our guide although a very nice person was polite to wait for a person who did not show up. This then made us late and we didn’t have time to enjoy the other two viewings. We were so rushed there wasn’t time to go into the activities.
The boat tour was great but we did not see any whales.
Therefore totally discouraged with the tour altogether. Will be asking for half of our funds to be returned.

Tour guide for the city portion stunk of cigarette smoke. Inexperienced and boring.
Boat portion - no icebergs, no whales, no puffins, rough water and everyone was puking. Trip should have been cancelled given how bad the weather was, but they wanted to take our money, so they had to take us out.
What a waste of money - I would like a refund.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are truly sorry to hear the experience fell so far short of expectations on both the city tour and the boat trip 🙏 Please reach out to us directly so we can look into your concerns thoroughly and discuss the matter of a refund with you personally.

Tour driver never showed up. When we called they said they had no record of our reservation that was made almost a year prior. They wouldn’t apologize or try to send someone right then. They tried to tell us they could do it at a time that absolutely wouldn’t work for us. Viator failed in getting the reservation to them!! Don’t use viator. Go directly to the tour provider.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Not having your reservation properly recognized and then being left without a driver is worrying and understandably frustrating. While it looks like there was an issue with Viator transmitting your booking, we know that doesn’t make the situation any less disappointing.
We here at See Sight Tours are always ready to take on you personal, small groups tours at a time of your choosing. You can either book directly from our website or contact us through email and phone numbers listed on our website. We'd love to have you with us soon!

Absolutely a waste of time and money. Not informative, boat ride was a waste of time, no whales, no icebergs, no puffins.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
I’m really sorry to hear that your tour left you so disappointed. Wildlife like whales, puffins are often dependent on the season and we're sorry you couldn't experience what you were excited about. While nature can sometimes be unpredictable, your guide should still provide an engaging and informative experience to make the day worthwhile.
If there was anything else that went wrong with your tour we'd love to know. We are always here for you at info@seesight-tours.com, our team will follow up right away!

The city tour was not wonderful … had to ride in the back of a small vehicle. The ocean cruise was amazing … we had the weather and the whales on our side!

There was no experience. It was cancelled the day before. You need to check these things before requesting reviews.

I had an awesome time on the St. John’s Small Group Tour with the Iceberg Quest Boat Cruise. The tour was really well organized, and the highlight for me was definitely our guide. They made the whole experience feel super relaxed and fun, while also sharing so many cool facts and stories about the area. It felt like we were hanging out with a local who really knows their stuff, which made the tour that much more enjoyable.
The Iceberg Quest Boat Cruise was incredible—getting out on the water and seeing those huge icebergs up close was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour if you're in St. John’s, and if you’re lucky enough to have the same guide, you’re in for a treat!

No proper car for travel in and see things around,
No proper tour guide,
Waiting time , 2 hr for the bout tour,
So much money spent for this choice of travel, I’m regretting.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our driver and guide were full of information. We went to some beautiful places and got some great photos. The boat portion of our trip was good too.

My husband and I did this tour on August 19th. Unfortunately we would not recommend it given what you get for the cost and alternatives available in the city.
The description is misleading. It indicates that the tour is 6 hours - if you are adding the boat component the tour time is 4 hours (2 hours in the van plus boat time is approx 2 hours), if you are not doing the boat the tour time is approx 3 hours.
If you are doing the boat tour, you miss Quidi Vidi Village and the drive around the downtown area as you are dropped off two hours in at the boat pick up spot. There also is no pick up after the boat tour (not communicated until the end of the van tour). All of this wouldn’t be a problem if it was indicated in the description but it’s not - the description indicates drop off anywhere in downtown St John’s.
The description indicates there is opportunity to explore Cabot Tower, however the tour starts here and Cabot Tower opens at 10am - you will probably be gone by 9:45am. It also indicates a tour of Signal Hill - that is not the case as we were just dropped off there to do our own thing.
Essentially $120 each to be driven to two stops (Signal Hill and Cape Spear) and a drop off at the boat tour. The driver was nice enough but you can get same/better service with the hop on hop off bus. The hop on hop off tour bus was $50 each, available 2 days and takes you to all the same spots (and more). Their drivers are just as, if not more, knowledgeable and well worth the money.
Boat tour was great - just book directly with Iceberg Tours

What a fabulous afternoon spent on the water. We saw minke and humpback whales and so many puffins. They do a fantastic job of giving you all the details on all the sites you will see. The crew was amazing. My husband and myself are still talking about the humpback whales we saw. Must do!
