Itinerary
-
This tour offers opportunities to photograph wildlife. We'll maximize our chances of encountering wildlife, but we want to remind you that we don't control wildlife and cannot guarantee encounters with particular species. Itineraries for wildlife trips are subject to change based on wildlife activity.
-
Day 1: Arrive in St. John's
Arrive at St. John's International Airport (YYT) before 3:00 PM on this day. Air travel delays are possible, so please consider arriving early, possibly the day prior. We don't want you to miss out on trip activities.
We’ll meet in the evening for a group dinner and a presentation on photographing in the areas we will visit.
-
Day 2–3: Northern Gannet colony
These two days are dedicated to photographing the most accessible Northern Gannet colony in North America. You will photograph Thick-billed Murres, Common Murres, and one of North America’s largest colonies of Northern Gannets.
-
Day 4–5: Puffins, whales and icebergs
During these two days, we will visit an area called Elliston, home of a friendly and easily accessible colony of Atlantic Puffins. We’ll visit the colony multiple times each day for different lighting conditions. Also, a local fox den often leads to photos of playful foxes.
We will also charter a private boat to take you to see whales and, hopefully, an iceberg or two that have floated down from Greenland.
-
Day 6: More Puffins and departure
After an early morning photo session with the puffins, we will take you back to the airport in St. John’s to catch your afternoon flight home.
Book your departing flight no earlier than 4:00 PM on this day.
