One Day Guided Kayak Tours
Our day tours will take you to historic Exploits Island, located at the headlands of the Bay of Exploits. You will take a ride to historic Exploits Island in our Transport Canada certified power boat where your Kayaks will be waiting for you.
Upon arrival you can choose between one half of your day kayaking the old resettled village of Exploits and the other half hiking to various points of interest on the island such as old cemeteries, lookouts and the old breakwater wall or the option of paddling all day exploring the coastline. Either way you will be immersed in the history of this once thriving fishing village that was resettled back in the 1960s by the government of the day. Lunch will be provided.

Value Added Day Tour
This unique experience will also take place at Exploits Island, located at the headlands of the beautiful Bay of Exploits. Your day will start the same as described above in our day tours but with the added value of learning how to navigate traditionally with a map and compass.
Each participant will get a map of Exploits Island and will learn how to first navigate by a term called “Piloting.” As you enjoy paddling and taking in the sites of the area, you will be introduced to combining a map with a compass to easily find your way by taking bearings and following them. No electronics and no batteries to fail, you will be fascinated!
There will be a true test of your newly acquired skills when you are asked as a group to lead your guide to a location where we will harvest wild blue mussels. Now we like mussels a lot, so we will make sure you find the spot if you go astray! Then, we feast on one of the finest treats of the sea as an appetizer to a traditional shore lunch. After a well-deserved rest, we will continue paddling to see what else this beautiful area has to offer. This is truly a day that you won’t soon forget!
