OVERVIEW
BAY OF EXPLOITS EXPEDITION 2026
Seascape launched its first trip to the Bay of Exploits, Newfoundland in 1996… 28 years of wonderful memories paddling in this magical place. Following wonderful trips in 2022 and 2023, we will be returning to Exploits in 2026. The group size will be limited to eight participants and two guides for each trip. This is a signature trip and these spaces will not last long. We are asking interested participants to plan ahead and secure your space by making a deposit of 50% the total trip cost.
This trip is our traditional paddling route and also incorporates elements of the mystical northern arm.
A Journey of Discovery into the True Canadian Wilderness
Newfoundland is a true Canadian wilderness, a land of mountains, fjords and miles of unspoiled coastline. This intensive journey of discovery takes you to the rugged coastline of the Bay of Exploits in the north central region, where life is centered on the sea as it has been for centuries. Once home to the mysterious Beothuk’s, this area has a rich natural and cultural history that make it an incredible paddling destination. Out port islands, whales, icebergs and the true warmth of Newfoundland hospitality are yours to experience on this island-hopping adventure. Our maximum group size is 8.

"A Memorable Journey through the Bay of Exploits"
When an opportunity opens to nourish your soul, I encourage you to go for it. To be able to share this journey with your daughter is a mother’s dream. To be able to share this with strangers who are now family… the gift of love and time. Everything I thought I was, I am now so much more. All because of the power of water and nature. Thank you Newfoundland, and thank you dear Bruce.
