Guests on our 2010 Newfoundland Adventure and Viking Trail trips are reporting humpbacks, minkes, and fin whales along the coast. We have also had sightings of sperm whales, pilot whales, and white-beaked dolphins. We missed the orcas but we saw their handy-work. There are still good numbers of icebergs along the Viking Trail too.

What local observers estimate to be in excess of one thousand beluga whales are turning the near shore ocean white with their activities.
