Leaving from either the Visitor Centre in Terra Nova National Park or from the Happy Adventure Inn, located in the town of Happy Adventure, the offshore tour offers spectacles that the view from land doesn’t reveal. Heading out to the puffin colony on Little Denier, hundreds of flocking and nesting puffins will be visible on the cusp of the outstretched Atlantic. The zodiac will visit the resettled Community of Smokey Hole before traversing through the tight passageway of Scott’s tickle and then hugging the shoreline of Newman sound, giving visitors an up-close encounter with a sea cave locally named “the Dungeon”. The offshore tour gives the best chance for sightings of whales, puffins, eagles, and any icebergs that have lumbered their way into the bay.
