    Witless Bay Ecological Reserve

    Welcome to one of Canada’s most awe-inspiring natural sanctuaries — the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, a must-visit for 2SLGBTQIA+ travelers with a soft spot for puffins, icebergs, and the untamed Atlantic.

    This protected marine area is home to North America’s largest Atlantic puffin colony (yes, they’re as cute in person as you imagine!) and is also a prime spot for whale watching, particularly from May to early August. Expect humpbacks breaching, seabirds swooping, and the kind of dramatic ocean views that make you feel small in the best way.

    You can explore the reserve via local boat tours, many of which are run by passionate locals who love sharing stories about the land, sea, and wildlife. And yes, the tours are very 2SLGBTQIA+ welcoming — you’ll feel safe, seen, and celebrated as you take it all in.
