Marine Discovery Tour

BonTours Boat Tours in collaboration with the Bonne Bay Marine Station, a research and teaching center, and part of the  Faculty of Science of Memorial University of Newfoundland, offers educational boat tours for science students and families. During your journey our marine specialist will discuss marine life in the fjord. You will discover the amazing sea life living in Bonne Bay waters. Our scientist interpreters will help you sample the cold, deep waters and collect some of the smallest creatures in the ocean. Then it is back to the Bonne Bay Marine Station to learn about the natural history of the Bay and for a closer look at the diverse marine life from the depths of Bonne Bay.

The boat tour will take you past some of the most beautiful views in Bonne Bay, and if you are lucky you might spot bald eagles or even a whale or tuna.

You will:

• Enjoy spectacular scenery “where mountains meet the sea”.
• Find out how ice has shaped the landscape around us.
• Learn how Bonne Bay can support such a rich diversity of marine life.
• Collect and examine microscopic marine plankton, and learn about marine food webs.
• Take an exclusive tour of the Public Aquarium.
• Get your hands wet among the rocky shore creatures living in our touch tank.
• See the importance of marine research.
