点评:• A fantastic experience! My wife and I (both 66 y.o.) planned a 2-week May vacation to Newfoundland, and wanted to incorporate iceberg viewing. We were attracted to the Northland Discovery Boat Tours (NDBT) based on the exciting information and photography we found on their website. I simply inquired by v-mail & e-mail to their contact information in early April about their tour offerings/ schedule and bookings. Kier Knudsen responded politely and quickly and offered to discuss the tours and details by telephone the next day. “… thanks so much for your interest in our tours! Yes we can absolutely help you out there I'll give you a call when I get back in the office tomorrow morning.” Kier called as promised and advised that although our inquiry was early, and the tour season for NDBT had not yet begun, he would be glad to accommodate us if the pack-ice and weather conditions permitted and he could assemble his crew and prepare the appropriate watercraft. Our date and time came together; all planned perfectly with Kier’s help. Our tour began with an introduction to the crew, and 3 German tourists who were also able to join us, safety instructions/expectations and donning of individual survival suits. The all-morning tour was incredible! We were thrilled to safely approach large icebergs and learn about their origins, migration from Greenland, composition, appearance, and ocean behavior. Equally fascinating was the crew’s knowledge of the unique wildlife, customs, fishing industry, history & pre-historic activity in the area. This was an amazing 5-star vacation experience! Thanks again Kier!
