2-Day Boat Tour
Wonderstrand and Beyond
During this two day tour you will visit the Wonderstrand, which is a beautiful sandy beach that stretches for some 54 km along the Southern Labrador coastline. This stretch of beach was visited by the Vikings as they journeyed south. Our experienced guide will share with you lots of stories of Labrador's culture and lifestyle. The Wonderstrand beach has been noted during travels of the space shuttle. Its one of the features on the earth's surface that is visible from space and is the place where the Vikings walked as they explored North America.

You will also get to visit abandoned fishing villages of Packs Harbour, Pigeon Cove and will get to visit an archaeological site at Snack Cove.

Trip Itinerary
This soft adventure journey in an open boat leaves every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday during the months of July and August. We can also customize to meet your schedule.

We will pick you up at your B&B or Hotel for an 8:30 meeting at the Kayak Shack and will be packed and on the water by 11am for an exciting adventure.

In the two days we will visit the Wonderstrand, with a first stop at the southern tip of the 54 km sandy beach. We will visit Packs Harbour and Pigeon Cove where fisher people lived for hundreds of years. If winds and weather are in our favour, we will also visit Snack Cove, the archaeological site dating back nearly 4000 years. Along the way you will most likely get to enjoy an iceberg or two, whales, seals, or puffins.

Our overnight stay will be in a tent in a remote cove or sand beach or if you wish, we will return you to Cartwright for a B&B or Hotel Stay. We partner with the Cartwright Hotel to provide roofed accommodations - ask us for rates.

Complete details of the trip, including clothing checklist and charts will be provided upon booking.
