    Cape Bonavista Lighthouse was built in 1843. Nearby is Landfall Municipal Park. According to local legend, this is the spot where John Cabot first landed in Newfoundland.

    Dungeon Provincial Park is a collapsed sea cave on the Bonavista Peninsula. There are lovely views of the cave itself and the coast.

    This is a great place to learn about the cod fishery and the sealing industry as well as Bonavista itself. Such a wealth of information! Wonderful displays. People at the museum and the adjacent general store were super friendly and helpful.

    I visited the Ye Matthew Legacy, a replica of the ship John Cabot used when he discovered Newfoundland in 1497. The replica was built in 1997 for the 500th anniversary of his voyage. There is a small museum which tells Cabot's story. Then you go to see the ship. A guide explains some details of the vessel and then you can explore the ship.

    Our whale-watching tour was nothing short of incredible. The captain took us to prime locations where we were fortunate enough to witness a majestic humpback whale and a pod of seven sperm whales up close. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an intimate and exhilarating whale-watching adventure!

    Jason and Lori are incredible. The weather was not cooperating for us, we had to cancel our fishing trip yesterday morning. Later in the afternoon Lori called and said the wind and waves had improved and we could go out if we wanted to. Within thirty minutes we were on the boat. Just outside the harbor we saw a cow and calf humpback breaching. Jason started trying his favorite fishing spots. After five or six spots we finally found fish. Within twenty minutes we had our limit. They filleted our fish and put them in the freezer for us to pick up when we leave Bonavista. They are brother and sister team that will do anything for you. I can not say enough about how they treat their customers.

    Highly recommend the unique experience of a beach boil up! Jordan was an awesome host, and a knowledgeable local. Had a great time here and can’t wait to come back!

    We had so many different whale sightings! I have been on whale-watching trips before and did not see as many as I did on this tour. Having a mom and baby come close enough to the boat for us to see eye-to-eye was incredible. The captain and crew did a great job giving us sufficient time to enjoy each different whale before heading out in search of a new one!

    I can’t say enough about the professionalism of the boat crew and what a great job they did making sure our trip was as enjoyable as possible! The entire crew was very attentive and caring, and we were greatly impressed with their warmth and friendly attitude. Not only did they have extensive knowledge of the whales, but they also patiently answered all our questions about the history of the area, local fish and fishing practices, birds, and lots of interesting facts which they shared with us throughout the trip!
