ECOTOURS ZODIAC ADVENTURES

Wildlife crowds the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve when the sardine-like capelin roll in to spawn each summer. Some 260,000 puffin pairs summer here (they mate for life, aw) with auks, murres and gulls. Captain Tyler can take you close in his 12-seat Zodiac, steering the craft into Gull Island’s dramatic sea caves. Go this month to see fin whales, humpbacks or, if you’re lucky, a pod of orcas or dolphins.
