Lovely few hours on the water. Great staff that keeps you entertained and laughing. We say an amazing number of puffins! No whales this time.
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review! We hope to see you again soon :)
The only regret I have is I should have done this sooner. The crew was amazing, welcoming I could tell they love the job they do! From beginning to end they made us feel Newfoundland soul and seeing puffin birds was priceless. I also became officially a Newfoundlander!!! The ceremony was so nice. I recommend everyone this experience!
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review! Welcome to the family. We hope to see you again soon :)
Great company. They were organized and on time. Very professional. Didn't see any whales, but puffins were everywhere. Great stories. Incredible singing.
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review! We hope to see you again soon :)
I was on a girls trip to NFLD. We took the O’Brien boat tour. We had a blast! Our guide Noah was amazing and very knowledgeable! Amazing views, bring a rain coat but make sure you see the views from the top deck. Highly recommend !
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review! We fully support bringing a rain coat but staying on the top deck!! We hope to see you again soon :)
Well-organized tour from St. Johns, a few minutes' walk from the cruise ship pier. A bus takes you to Bay Bulls, where you then board the excursion boat. The tour goes out of the bay into a marine national park with very good chances of seeing humpback whales up close. In addition, there are colonies of breeding birds on the rocky cliffs and walls, especially the popular puffins. A nice excursion with a very nice crew and interesting information about fauna and flora.
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review! We hope to see you again soon :)
Very fun and beautiful tour. We saw a juvenile whale who played with us some. The puffins and other bird life were amazing. Patrick and Noah were very engaging, lots of good info on what we were seeing, and the boat captain kindly kept us with the whale as long as he could.
Hi There, thanks so much for your kind review! We'll pass your nice words onto our crew. We hope to see you again soon :)
Such a great time! Beautiful scenery with a knowledgeable, friendly and funny crew.

Just wonderful, highlight of our trip to Newfoundland
Hi Luke, thanks so much for your kind review! We hope to see you again soon :)
Good experience, no whales sighted but puffins and other birds very plentiful. Noah our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Screech in ceremony should be kissing a cod, not a stuffed puffins arse l
Hi there, thanks so much for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the puffins and other seabirds. We're sorry you didn't enjoy the screech in as much as you could have - we emphasize kissing Polly the Puffin as we go to the second largest puffin colony in the world! However we understand the expectation for the cod. We hope to see you again soon!
We had a wonderful experience with O'Brien's. Our guide, Noah, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We were lucky enough to see a family of Orcas. They stayed around our boat for about 10 minutes or so. Very cool
Hi there, thanks so much for your kind review!! We're so glad you got to witness the orcas and that you had a good time. We hope to see you again soon!
