Visit the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve—home to over 2.5 million sea birds and the largest gathering of Atlantic puffins in North America. The local waters provide one of the best whale watching opportunities in Atlantic Canada.

This 90-minute tour is often touted as the best one in Newfoundland and the highlight of many visitors' vacations.
