Whales, Puffins, and Murres!

I recently spent some time on the island of Newfoundland. I definitely had to google the Newfoundland and Labrador province before my friend and I planned this trip just to know where it was located!

We had a great time exploring a small part of this very large island. There was so much to learn about Newfoundland’s history and wildlife. O’Brien’s Whale and Boat Tours was a great place to start on a foggy morning!

We were able to see tons of puffins, murres (which totally look like penguins from a distance), and humpback whales on our boat tour. I hope you enjoy some of my photos from our adventure in Bay Bulls!

Approaching the Isle of Birds (I made up the name, but it fits).

Not penguins 🙂

Humpback whale sighting!

Check out those fins!

They were so close!

Here is a video (don’t worry, no plans to become a videographer anytime soon!) showing our slightly overdone excitement about having whales near our boat. 🙂

Additionally, here are some photos from my phone to show another perspective from our tour.
