Each tour begins and ends in St. John's and includes all transportation, accommodations, meals, camp equipment and all kayaking gear (boats, sprayskirts, paddles). All you bring is your personal gear and we take care of the rest!

DAY 1 - Saturday
We pick you up at St. John's airport and take you to your accommodation in historic downtown St. John’s, the oldest city in North America. You'll be staying in the heritage district within walking distance of St. John’s Harbour, downtown entertainment as well as Signal Hill National Park and it’s dramatic trails overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.


Depending upon arrival and departure times, we might drive to Cape Spear , the most easterly point of land in North America. After an interpretative tour of the historic Cape Spear lighthouse we walk around the old gun fortifications which guarded St. John’s harbour from U. boats during the Second World War. In different seasons, we can expect to see arctic pack ice and/or icebergs brought down from Greenland by the Labrador current, as well as a wide variety of seabirds and whales .

Following the evening meal, we’ll review the itinerary and make any changes depending on current information on iceberg and whale sightings.

DAY 2 - Sunday
Today we visit the Southern Shore of the Avalon Peninsula for a boat tour of the Witless Bay Provincial Seabird Sanctuary which is composed of Gull Island, Great Island and Green Island.


This seabird colony features 200,000 nesting pairs of Atlantic puffins, 750,000 pairs of Leach's storm petrel, 75,000 pairs of Common murres as well as Northern fulmars, Herring and Great Black-backed gulls, Black-legged kittiwakes, Razorbills, Thick-billed murres, Black guillemots and Gannets.

This is also a prime spot to see Humpback, Minke, and Fin whales.

After lunch we head off to Harbour Mille for an overnight stay in this traditional Newfoundland outport community..

DAY 3 - Monday
Our wilderness voyage starts in the outport of Harbour Mille (population 200) which is literally the last community at the end of the road. On this first camp day, we usually climb the lookout behind the camp which gives you a panoramic view of the Long Harbour Fjord and Fortune Bay.

DAY 4 - Tuesday
Today we’ll try out our sea kayaking abilities. Our camp is situated in a long sheltered inlet and it is an ideal place to try sea kayaking for the first time. We ensure that everyone has basic instruction for handling our very stable sea kayaks.

Our destination for today is an eagle’s nest which is perched close to the waterline. A picnic close by at Lobster Cove allows for an opportunity to scout options for the more adventurous paddlers. After a hike around the dramatic cliffs of the nearby headlands we paddle back to main camp.

DAY 5 - Wednesday
Today we’ll paddle to Anderson’s Cove for our hike of the day. On any paddle you might sight a sea otter or seal whose curiosity brings them closer to us.

After a picnic lunch, we’ll make our way back to the kayaks and paddle back to the Coastal Safari camp.

DAY 6 - Thursday
Today depending on weather, we may travel further up Long Harbour Fjord or out past the headlands along the southern boundary of the Bay du Nord Wilderness Reserve .

For supper we'll try fishing for mackerel or cod - in the ‘tickle’ (the narrow waters between the terrace and opposite shore) or out on the bay. Or we might try our hand at harvesting scallops for hor d’oevres.

DAY 7 - Friday
After breakfast we travel by boat back to Harbour Mille. Today we travel to St. John's and depending on the weather stop at the Salmonier Nature Park en route.

Tonight you'll be staying in the St. John's heritage district and we'll have a farewell dinner. You have the evening to explore the clubs and pubs on Duckworth and Water Street and especially George Street for traditional Irish music or Celtic rock or local jazz!

DAY 8 - Saturday

Depending upon departure times, this is a day to do last minute shopping for souvenirs or simply enjoy the sights of downtown St. John’s. We bring you to St. John's Airport for departure.
