St. John’s Premium Tour with Whale Watching & Iceberg Cruise
Overview
Your small-group tour begins with hotel pick-up in downtown St. John's before visiting Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site, the oldest lighthouse in Newfoundland and the easternmost point in North America. Continue with a narrated drive past Jellybean Row, George Street, and Quidi Vidi Village before stopping at Signal Hill National Historic Site, where you'll explore Cabot Tower and enjoy panoramic city and harbour views. Then, board an Iceberg Quest cruise for the chance to spot towering icebergs and humpback whales while taking in spectacular coastal views. Iceberg season typically runs May–June and whale season peaks mid-June to mid-August; sightings vary each year and cannot be guaranteed. Your tour concludes with hotel drop-off in downtown St. John's.
