Guests will then be taken to beautiful Petty Harbour for a picnic on the harbour promenade that we will provide. Then at 1 pm we’re off to see humpback whales, puffins, and a variety of seabirds aboard our 90 ft Grand Bank schooner, Scademia. Guests can enjoy alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages as well as snacks aboard our guided tour as they sail to Cape Spear along Newfoundland’s magnificent coast line.

City Tour
Our city tour is a great way for guests to learn about the rich history of St. John’s without having to find their own way through the twisting streets of St. John’s. We will pick up guests at 9 am at their hotel and take them on a guided tour of historic St. John’s, Signal Hill and Cape Spear. Our knowledgeable guide is more than happy to answer questions and make guests feel right at home on the rock. This tour is a must for anyone visiting our city.

The Scademia has hosted tens of thousands of passengers and has become the flagship for St. John’s. A sea tour aboard our Grand Bank schooner, the last of its kind in Newfoundland, is truly a unique experience for all guests.
