Experiences

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.

Seaweed Baths & Skin Care

Treat yourself and a partner to a luxurious outdoor seaweed bath, set against the stunning backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Each rejuvenation session includes a leisurely two-hour immersion in your own personal outdoor tub, plus fresh seaweed sheets and samples from our seaweed-based skincare line.
