Journey Back in Time

Exploring Rocky Harbour Pond

Bonne Bay's first inhabitants came here over 4000 years ago, probably in an ocean going canoe. You can paddle in the wake of these first peoples by taking on imaginary journey back in time as you paddle Bonne Bay in a 25 foot ocean going canoe. This canoe holds 10 paddlers, two of whom will be big canoe tour guides who will handle the steering and give directions to the crew of up to 8 paddlers.

Explore the coastline of the double-armed fiord of Bonne Bay as your guides fill you in on its ancient archeological and paddling history.

Enjoy a picnic at the far end of the pond before heading back on the 2km paddle. This tour is open to canoers, kayakers and paddle boarders. Let us know if you need to rent either type of water craft and we’ll fit you out.

Land-Based Activities

Killer Camping Skills

  When stringing days of paddling together during a paddling trip, you want to be comfortable, safe and well fed!  You’ll learn how to set up a bomb-proof camp, safe from inclement weather, wind, and critters. You'll also learn how to: tie proper knots to correctly secure a tarp ; cook over an open fire; and keep yourself dry around camp and in your tent. A good, restful night's sleep makes the next day's paddling all the more enjoyable! 

Stay tuned for more updates!
