Highlighting a few of our favourite spots to explore seeing as today is Earth Day and this week is National Tourism Week 🌊 These landscapes are something special. Each one feels different, shaped by time, weather, and a whole lot of stories. Some rooted in history, others created by our crew over the years. You might recognize a few of these places, others might be new to you. That’s part of the fun. Comment how many you know… and if there are a few you don’t, maybe it’s time to get out and explore more this summer! 🐧 709-722-7234 🐋 [email protected] 🖥 📍 40 O’Leary Ave, St. John’s, NL #exploreNL #explorecanada #cangeo

Some mornings at @boathouse.nl it’s just a slow coffee by the window. Other times it’s laughter filling the whole room. In between, it’s meetings, ideas, little moments, big ones too. The Boathouse has quietly become a space people make their own. It’s been nice seeing all the different ways it’s been used and shared so far. Looking forward to accommodating more and more groups as we move into the warmer months! What would you host here? ✨ If something’s been on your mind, you can find the details in our bio whenever you’re ready. ⚓️ [email protected]

As things start to warm up, we’re excited to reintroduce our adventures, starting with our Zodiac & Kayak Experience! 🌊🛶🚤 We all love kayaking, but getting to the best spots can mean a long paddle. That’s why we designed this adventure. Our Zodiac boats depart from the Petty Harbour Adventure Centre and take you to explore the incredible coastlines, hidden coves, and sea caves just beyond the harbour. Paddle through rugged coves, sea arches, and hidden caves shaped over millions of years, all while keeping an eye out for eagles and marine life along the way. With support from our experienced kayak guides and boat crew, we tailor each outing to the group’s skill level, ensuring a safe, smooth, and unforgettable experience for everyone. Hope this answers your questions! Those looking to book can do so online via our new booking system: LINK IN BIO 🐧 709-722-7234 🐋 [email protected] 🖥 📍 40 O’Leary Ave, St. John’s, NL #exploreNL #explorecanada #paddlecanada #kayaking #adventures
