Experiences for all seasons
Here, every season brings fresh adventure. From winter snowshoeing across rugged barrens to breezy picnics on towering ocean cliffs, there’s never a bad time of year to visit this beautiful corner of Newfoundland.
Boat Excursions
From the plentiful spring icebergs along our coastline to the frolicking whales that gather in Grates Cove Harbour every summer, there’s beauty and vitality to be found in our waters all year round.
Our guests are invited to explore our stunning coast in our 14’ Zodiac-style boat, helmed by Captain Darrin Martin. With each ocean voyage dependent on the day’s weather and local ocean wildlife reports, every outing with Captain Martin is a unique adventure that will take you to the best locations and sights available.
