Snorkeling in May – June:
During May and June, we focus on snorkeling to experience the incredible creatures above and below the surface. From shallow coves and waterfalls to the open Atlantic, every stop offers a new ocean wonder waiting to be discovered. Encounter icebergs, seabirds, and a variety of marine life as you explore the rugged coastline of Petty Harbour.
July: WHALE MONTH!!
While marine mammals can appear in spring and fall, July is their peak season! At Ocean Quest Adventures, we follow a zero-impact approach. This means whales choose if they want to swim near you, ensuring every encounter is natural and respectful. If you want to experience these incredible animals in their true habitat while honouring their space, this is the adventure for you.
August – September:
While marine mammals are less abundant than in early summer, there’s still plenty to see and experience on this awe-inspiring adventure. Enjoy the warmest part of Newfoundland’s summer as you zoom across the coast in a Zodiac and swim with the incredible creatures of the North Atlantic.
