Register Here

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 whale watching by kayak is the focus but there are many other types of wildlife we see along the way.  We also do some short hikes that offer amazing views of the coastline, visit historic sites and learn about the history of the area with local guides. 

*Please keep in mind this is the north Atlantic and water temperatures rarely get above 60° F in the summer.  You should be comfortable in a kayak and have appropriate clothing for paddling cool water conditions.

​Trip Highlights

  • Paddling with and viewing whales in their natural environment.
  • Friendly people, great food and life in a small north Atlantic town.
  • Hiking the Skerwink Trail overlooking Trinity Bay.
  • Learning about history from locals on a walking and living history tour.
  • Viewing unique coastal birds indigenous to the region.
  • The traditional "screech-in" ceremony.

​Itinerary

Day 1 – Transfer in to St Johns, Newfoundland, get shuttled to your local hotel then meet for dinner and overview of the week.

Day 2 – In the morning we have a  private transfer to Trinity where you will settle in to your lodging and have lunch onsite. In the afternoon we will get familiar with our kayaks and the local area before we head out to paddle Trinity Harbor.

Day 3 – In the morning we take a historical walking tour of Trinity with a local guide. Then we head to the water for our first day out of paddling out of the harbor.  After that, if time allows, we will hike a portion of the Skerwink Trail to get an overhead view of some of the places we have paddled. 

Day 4 – In the morning we head out on the water in a zodiak to see whales.  The zodiak offers a stable platform so you can capture some of the photos you will likely miss when kayaking. In the afternoon we will follow a theater group around Trinity as they reenact scenes of Newfoundland history around the bight, a delight for young and old.

Day 5 – In the morning we are back in kayaks to paddle from the Bonavista area back to Trinity.  Later in the afternoon we will head back to Bonavista to visit the Cape Bonavista Lighthouse, drive the peninsula and hike the Lighthouse Trail.

Day 6 – We enjoy our last morning paddling with the whales in Trinity Bay before our private transfer takes us back to St Johns for the night.

Day 7 – We say our goodbyes and head back home.
