This 2 hour award-winning boat tour departs from downtown St. John's, Canada. The tour begins with views of St. John's harbor and city skyline, including colorful historic buildings and the Outer Battery. The boat passes through The Narrows, the entrance to the harbor, then sails past Signal Hill, where passengers see Cabot Tower and nearby coastal hiking trails. Next, the tour continues by Fort Amherst Lighthouse with guided narration about the port's history dating back to the early 1500s. The route proceeds past Blackhead Sea Caves, home to a colony of black-legged kittiwakes and frequent sightings of seabirds such as bald eagles, northern gannets, and Atlantic puffins. Passengers have opportunities to see humpback whales and icebergs that travel from Greenland’s glaciers, although sightings are not guaranteed. The tour reaches Cape Spear National Historic Site, the most easterly point in North America, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the rocky coastline. Cape Spear Lighthouse and Battery stand 213 feet above sea level and have guided ships for over 100 years. Included in the tour are snacks, a pre-departure safety briefing, experienced guides, all required safety equipment, on-board restrooms, a heated cabin, and a licensed bar. The tour operates rain or shine, and passengers should dress accordingly.
