Fully Supported Multiday Tours

SEA KAYAKING NEWFOUNDLAND'S SOUTH COAST

"The Little Lodge"

"A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME" A kayak trip to this part of the South coast of Newfoundland is a journey back into a rich unspoiled part of the province's traditions and folklore. A dependence on the sea both as a source of livelihood and a means of transportation has bred a hardy race of mariners who ply some of the roughest and most temperamental sea coast in North America. Rivaling Labrador for its rugged coastal wilderness, it is virtually unchanged since the Europeans first landed here over five centuries ago. Together we will explore this kayaker's paradise and also visit Long Harbour Fjord which extends over 25 km inland to the mouth of Long Harbour River, one of Newfoundland's premier Atlantic Salmon Fishing destinations. DAY 1: August 13, 2011 Trip by van from St. John's to English Harbour East, the kick-off point for our boat ride along this magnificent coast. From the boat we get a glimpse of what we are about to explore over the next 6 days. As the coast slowly drifts by, we see the effects of thousands of years of glaciation. We land at Pissing Mare Cove where we will enjoy comfortable wilderness camping in the solitude and serenity of this wilderness playground. The next morning is spent loading our kayaks and preparing for the kayak adventure about to unfold!

August 14 to August 18, 2011
DAY 2 to DAY 6: A full five days awaits us of exploring this fascinating fjord with it's cascading waterfalls and sheer granite walls rising abruptly thousands of feet from the sea. Bald eagles, caribou, whales and porpoise may be seen, along with icebergs, sea caves and giant sea stacks. We will also take time to hike to the upper rim and swim in the sparkling waters of the pristine lakes which dot the coastline.

DAY 6: August 18, 2011
After five rewarding days of this glacier formed scenery and remarkable geology, we enjoy our last evening around the campfire reminiscing about the fantastic voyage of discovery just completed.

DAY 7:  August  19, 2011
After a hearty breakfast in this sea kayaker's paradise we prepare for our boat ride back to English Harbour East and on to St. John's.

INCLUDES: All ground transportation from St. John's to English Harbour East and return, Coastal boat ride to Long Harbour and return, kayak & camping equipment, fine food and expert guides.
