Are these big, crowded boat tours?
Not at all. We specialize in small-group, low-impact tourism. Our Zodiac seats a maximum of 10 passengers, guaranteeing you a personalized experience.
Will I get sea sick on the Zodiac?
It is highly unlikely. Our Zodiacs feature a deep-V hull that cuts cleanly through waves rather than rolling side-to-side. Plus, being in the fresh open air prevents motion sickness.
Do you provide life jackets?
Yes. We provide Transport Canada-approved Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) or full flotation suits depending on the weather. They must be worn at all times while on the water.
Is there a restroom on the boat?
Because our Zodiac is an open adventure vessel, there is no washroom on board. We have clean restrooms located at the Water's Edge Campground for use immediately before departure.
What wildlife might we see?
Bonne Bay is rich with wildlife. We cruise the deep waters to spot whales, seabirds, bald eagles, and occasionally moose or caribou wandering along the shorelines.
Can I see the Tablelands without hiking?
Yes! This boat tour is the best way to experience the scale and geology of the Tablelands without having to hike. You literally drive up, hop on, and enjoy the view.
Can I bring my camera?
Absolutely! This tour is a photographer's dream. We recommend bringing a neck strap for your camera or a waterproof bag, as light saltwater spray is possible.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. Because our intimate Zodiacs only take 10 passengers per trip, we frequently sell out. We highly recommend booking online early.
