What to Expect When Visiting Trinity, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
On this tour, you’ll tow your kayak to a remote location to paddle back to Trinity. Travel through spectacular seascapes and sea caves to Trinity itself or to a predetermined pickup point based upon wildlife viewing opportunities (whales in particular) and sea state.
Meet at the Trinity Eco-tours Lodge which is the jump off point for your tour. Your guide will explain the route that will be taken on your tour and the predetermined path to get back. The route is based upon wildlife viewing opportunities, sea state, kayaker experience and comfort levels. At this point, you’ll pick up your gear and kayaks and head to the drop-off location, which can be one of several points including Bonaventure, Trouty, Champneys East or West or Port Rexton.
Each paddle offers unique opportunities and attractions. Most tours have the opportunity to see bald eagles and occupied eagles nests. Paddle past islands and beaches of rolling Capelin in season. These small fish are the basis for the life cycle of almost every migratory whale species that frequent this area. They can be seen on your tour as well as the whales that gorge themselves on them.
Paddle past humpbacks in season and view the Skirwink Trail, a favorite hike designated as one of the top ten trails in Canada. You’ll view several rock structures from the water. Later, you can hike the trail and view them from the top. Your tour ends passing the lighthouse at Trinity at Fort Point past the cannons still pointing to sea to keep away marauders.
Finally, enter Trinity where you haul up and continue back to the lodge for a debrief and a discussion of your trip and picture exchange. Your guides will gladly answer all your questions and may also use posters in the Marine Interpretation Centre to explain any feature or creature that you saw on your trip.
Your paddle is approximately 4 hours. Dress for the weather conditions. Follow your guide’s recommendations.
