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 our journey to the Wonderstrand, Packs Harbour, Pigeon Cove, Prisoner's Island, Dumplin Harbour, and Indian Harbour.
We will visit the archaeological dig at Snack Cove and will search for a hidden cache on Hare Island. You will have the opportunity to have your photo taken inside a rock house and will camp on the sandy shores or on caribou moss just inside the shore line.
In this five days trip, we will journey by open boat in the Labrador Sea where Aboriginal people paddled and sailed for thousands of years as they traded along the North American Coast. We will visit the Wonderstrand, which has been written about in the Viking Sagas and Packs Harbour where there once was one of Labrador's thriving summer fishing industries. We will camp along the shore lines where an archaeological exploration is uncovering artifacts from our ancestors 4000 years ago. At Cartwright Island you will see the remnants of a rock house that local legend believe was built by the European visitors or Aboriginal people thousands of years ago.
Complete details of the trip, including clothing checklist and charts will be provided upon booking.
