Witless Bay Ecological Reserve

Composed of four small islands, this reserve is one of nature's greatest wonders. In summer it is home to hundreds of thousands of seabirds that come to the islands to nest and raise their young. Whales swim here, especially humpbacks and minkes. Contact us via email or check our website for more information about the reserve. The reserve may be viewed up close from a tour boat; a number of businesses operate from nearby communities. No landing on the islands.
