The best time to go to Quirpon Island is during the summer months, particularly from mid-June to early September, when the weather is mildest and wildlife viewing opportunities are at their peak.During this period, the days are long, and the temperatures are generally comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking and boat tours. This timing also coincides with the prime season for iceberg viewing, as these magnificent ice formations drift down "Iceberg Alley" along the Newfoundland coast.For those keen on whale watching, July and August are typically the best months. Many species of whales, including humpbacks and minke whales, are frequently seen feeding in the waters around Quirpon Island, drawn by the abundance of capelin. Seabirds are also plentiful during these months, making it an excellent time for birdwatching enthusiasts.Travellers looking for a balance of good weather and wildlife will find early September particularly appealing. The crowds begin to thin out, but the weather often remains pleasant, and whale activity can still be very good.
