Twillingate | Pier 52 | 52 Main Street

Twillingate has earned the title “Iceberg Capital of the World”! There is no better place on earth to view 10,000 year old icebergs up close and personal. Every year they arrive from the high arctic during late spring and early summer. These frozen monoliths tower above the water, featuring eye-twisting ice formations carved by the warmer Newfoundland waters. Their casual meandering southward sets the pace for this cozy outport.

As the annual iceberg arrival moves into the Atlantic Ocean, the humpback whales come to play with their newly born calves and feed themselves after a long journey northward. They are part of the world’s largest population of humpbacks that return year after year to the nutrient rich waters of our province.

On land, Twillingate is truly a world to itself, where the heart of traditional Newfoundland culture still beats strong. Here your modern worries drift away as you settle into your home away from home on the edge of the North Atlantic.

Our two-hour tour will enlighten and entertain as it sets sails in search of icebergs and whales on a true Newfoundland cultural adventure.
