Definitely make time for this tour if you can! Donelda gives an informative bird tour, and also explains the occupation of lobster fishing. In addition to seeing puffins, eagles, seals, and a number of other bird species, the scenic views of the channel on the way out to Bird Islands are just spectacular. The boat is enclosed with windows, which... More

We didn't make it in time for the puffins which didn't matter to us because we came for the Eagles. It was THE best money that we spent in a long time. We weren't far from the dock when the boat when Donelda called our attention to the Eagle that was flying out to the boat . We stopped and... More

I've been a birder for the past 42 tours and have taken many different tours in Canada, Unites States and Europe and this was by far the best . Donelda explains things so that all can understand and relate to . She continually moves from one end of the boat to the other pointing the different birds out .She has... More

We had a wonderful experience on the tour. It rained the entire time but we still made it out and managed to see a number of puffins. Puffins are a lot smaller than I expected. We were able to see over 100 puffins from very far away as our boat was not able to get too close due to the... More

Donelda knows birds, gives an excellent tour, and throws fish to eagles who watch for her boat -- which provides terrific photo ops as the magnificent raptors swoop down, talons outstretched, to grab their lunch!

A rainy day, and too late to see puffins - you would think that would mean a disappointing trip. But you would be wrong. We saw dramatic granite cliffs, caves and rock formations, bald eagles swooping, seals circling the boat, cormorants drying their wings in the wind, and we smelled the fresh sea air. The rugged coast and windswept islands... More

This tour was a real highlight of my vacation. Sadly, the season for puffins was mostly finished this year (they were gone earlier than normal) but even with only spotting a few puffins the tour was great. We saw many, many seals, birds and bald eagles. They'll even feed the bald eagles so you can watch them dive down to... More

Very knowledgeable commentary. Experienced captain. Plenty of time spent at the Islands to view the birds. They were truthful about our chances of seeing Puffins, which are now scarce as most of them have gone to sea. We did see four birds swimming and the captain was able to get close enough for us to take good photos with simple... More

As this was my first time going on a bird watching ( or any type of ocean going) tour i really don't know what is "normal " for this type of thing, however if they are all like this one I definitely need to do more. The tour was amazing!! We saw lots of birds : mainly Eagles , cormorants,blue... More
