Limited spaces left for tomorrow's BABY PUFFIN RELEASE trip, 10am August 15th! Call (709)334-2621 to book your spots or email [email protected]
Did you know that many baby puffins are attracted to human-made light pollution on land during fledgling season and need to be rescued?
And YOU can be part of this: Experience rescued pufflings being released right off our tour boat.
Very limited spaces are available for 10 am on August 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, first come first serve.
Rates for pufflings release trips:
$77 adults, $70 seniors, $67 under 16
Please note that the puffling release will be dependent on weather and on how many birds were caught the night before, sometimes there are none. The number of birds to be released also determines if and how much time there will be left to visit the puffins' breeding island and/or look for whales.
We also still see lots of Puffins on all of our regular tours!
And we all need to do better turning off lights facing the Witless Bay Reserve Islands during the night from August through October, so that no puffin chicks get lured the wrong way in the first place. Because we cannot find and rescue all, many still die, unseen.
