"I have taken many courses, both professionally and recreationally. This has to be one of, if not, the best!"

Burgeo

This community is the quintessential historic fishing outport where the people have used the sea as a livelihood and means of travel for generations. It was here that Canadian Author Farley Mowat lived when he wrote his book, A Whale for the Killing.

The ocean currents and winds have created powder white sand dunes and beaches protected in Sandbanks Provincial Park. The diversity of paddling is phenomenal. Ancient Beothuck, Dorset Eskimo, and Maritime Archaic Indian sites litter the coast and outer islands.

Aboriginal artifacts have been known to wash up on the area's beaches. To the east, mountains cut by ancient fjords rise out of the sea. The west is almost entirely white sand beaches, secret channels, and sheltered bays.

The area is a haven for a multitude of bird life, seals, caribou, and shipwrecks. Sandbanks has been called, "The prettiest paddle in Atlantic Canada." - We would have to agree!



Cape Broyle

Our Level I Safe Kayaking Courses are taught at Cape Broyle where, in a single day, you can see Puffins, Whales, Icebergs, 300 foot caves, arches, and waterfalls all from the seat of your sea kayak. The diversity is phenomenal. Sheltered water and exposed coastline combine to create a learning environment that will challenge your newly developed weather interpretation and route selection skills. The opportunity to see wildlife such as humpback whales and sea birds is just the icing on the cake.



Gros Morne National Park

Designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations for its geology, human history and spectacular scenery, Gros Morne National Park is one of the nation’s premier sea kayaking destinations. The heart of the park is Bonne Bay with its stunning mountain scenery, pristine waters, and rich marine environment. To the north, Western Brook Beach and St. Paul’s Inlet offer excellent environments for surf and current training. Steep cliffs, waterfalls, green grassy fields, sea stacks and sea caves, typify the exposed coastline in an area to the north of Trout River called Green Gardens. The Green Gardens provides a stunning backdrop for the trip portion of our course.

Gros Morne offers an exceptional sea kayaking classroom that will stimulates all your senses.
