Your Choice of Camping or Base Camp Tours

Multi-Day Kayak Tours

Please note that we offer two styles of multiday kayak tours, camping and base camp tours .

On our camping tours you will camp at some of our favorite campsites for the duration of your tour. On our base camp tour you will stay with us at our home on Exploits island where we live for several months of the year. We refer to this as our “base camp”, still remote with amenities and located in a beautiful setting. The choice is yours but we have to say the latter has become the most popular choice .

Regardless of your tour choice, we always ask that you arrive for transportation to Exploits Island the evening before your tour begins . You will join us for dinner and some great conversation before your tour begins on day one . This first night is included in the price listed below.

Perfect for the Adventurer

2-4 Day Kayak Tours

If you are not ready to commit to an expedition tour but still wish to experience a touch of rugged coastal beauty combined with camping, our two- to four-day tours may be for you. You will be transported to Historic Exploits island in our tour boat (evening before) to begin your kayak tour of choice, your guides will take you on a journey on day one, beginning in sheltered waters, then out to the rugged headlands forming the Bay of Exploits.

Camp in sheltered coves or stay at base camp, feast on traditional meals, maybe eat fresh wild mussels harvested by you and your guides, explore the intertidal zone and learn the natural, indigenous and European history of this historic island. May and June are most always best for icebergs and mid-July is usually best for whales and other marine life. And sometimes you will see whales and icebergs together!
