Thar She Blows – Whale Season in Newfoundland!

Humpback whale off the coast of Newfoundland, captured by a guest at our ocean front cottagesWhale off the coast of Newfoundland

Now that it’s summer, there’s no better time to be out on the water. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Laurelyn’s daughter, Rebecca. On one of their days here, our guardian angel Alf took her and her friend, Justin, out for a boat ride to see Shag Rock, whales and eagles. And what a treat it was! They came upon a huge humpback who put on a show for them –  up close and personal. He breached and dived and played with them. I wish we had been there!

Thankfully they got some great shots (you can see more on our Facebook page, here). And by the way, if you ever wanted to see how exciting it is to see whales in the wild, I think Rebecca sums it up, below! To any upcoming guests, please ask if you need recommendations for whale watching tours while you’re with us – and be on the lookout, as you can often seem them from the shore at our cabins!
