Newfoundland has a reputation for being friendly. Warm and welcoming, fun loving and funny to the core, the people here are also known for their natural creativity, unique language, and knack for storytelling. It is also well known for beautiful rocky coastlines, whale watching, icebergs and great outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking.
On this all inclusive trip the focus is kayaking in Trinity Harbor and Bay, and hopefully seeing whales, eagles, dolphins, capelin and other wildlife along the way. But there are many other things to see and experience. We hike a beautiful coastal trail, watch a comedic reenactment of life there in the 1600's performed by a local theater, learn about historical and current living in this rugged region from locals and on a private guided historical tour.
Our accommodations in Trinity are at a restored, waterfront home built in the 1800's. Each room is private and has an en-suite bath. Meals are made just for our group right at the lodge and breakfasts are done to order. This is not a large group tour, you have personalized service at every step along the way!
*Please keep in mind this is the north Atlantic and water temperatures rarely get above 50° F in the summer. You should be comfortable in a kayak and have appropriate clothing for paddling cool water conditions.

Tuesday, July 22 – In the morning we go out on Trinity Bay for the first time. Trinity Bay is a more open body of water where we will likely experience some ocean swells common in sea kayaking.

In the afternoon we will do a historical walking tour. The tour and guide are phenomenal! Dinner tonight will be at a local restaurant.
Wednesday, July 23 – In the morning we are back in kayaks to explore a different area of Trinity Bay. In the afternoon we will see the Trinity Pageant, a walking, outdoor show performed by the local theater that re-enacts the history of Trinity in a comical way. Dinner tonight will again be at a local restaurant.
Thursday, July 24 – Today we will go for a hike overlooking Trinity Bay in the morning and in the afternoon will have a private boat tour of the bay.
