Trip Report: This week a some Bay of Fundy Adventures crew ventured out into the Fundy Isles Archipelago to explore New Brunswick’s landscape by sea.

It’s whale season in the Isles and we went out in search of these giants. We loaded our kayaks for an early morning start into the Bay of Fundy. Travelling east along the coast into the wind and waves and eventually farther out into the Bay, we kept our eyes peeled and our ears open for any signs of whales. The sound of their breath as it fires from a blowhole, a tail waving us by, or even a playful leap out of the water. After turning west towards the cluster of islands, we surfed waves and hid in the eddies of ocean buoys, while watching lobster boats travel by. Then one of our crew called to us from a distance, a humpback had breached! Close enough that he could see the whole body out of the water before landing in a giant splash. We headed that way, hoping to catch another show.

More waves, more beautiful scenery, and more paddling before we landed on Bliss Island to have a break and visit its lighthouse. Most of us had been here before, but it’s an invariable rite of passage for any of our guides visiting the island for the first time. A quick stop at the top of the lighthouse before moving on again, zigzagging our way through old fishing weirs and hand railing the island until hopping to a smaller one and through some ledges. This route brought us through grey seal territory. Through the light fog, we could hear their barks and howls well before we could see them. Was it mating season or could they smell us as we paddled forward? Massive bodies hopped and slid off the island and into the water as we approached, while heads the size of a horse’s poked out above the surface to survey our movements. The largest of the seals moved far ahead of his pack, splashing right behind our boats, urging us to move along.

As we moved across a channel towards our landing spot, a tall plume of mist shot into the air. A finback whale had revealed itself. These 75-foot-long mammals are the second-largest animal in the world and exactly what we were looking for. We were scanning the horizon looking for its next move, when a minke whale, the 28 foot cousin of the Finback, surfaced right in front of us. We sat perfectly still as we watched it make our way right towards us. Taking its breaths, we expected it to pass right between us, but it dove under our kayaks and came up again behind us on its way out to sea.

We landed back on the main land, extremely happy with how the day unfolded. The 15 kilometres of sea kayaking delivered on multiple whale sightings and much more.
We are already ready looking to return and bring along other adventurers with us!

Trip Report: This week, three team members from Bay of Fundy Adventures embarked on a 7-day multi-sport expedition to the North Atlantic Coast of Newfoundland.

From glowing icebergs to desert-like boulder fields, Newfoundland's diverse landscapes inspired us to explore as much of the island as we could. Our journey began as we arrived via ferry and made our way to Embree (Masons Cove). We packed our kayaks and paddled out to one of the secluded islands in the Bay of Exploits, where we spent the night along the breezy shore. The following morning, we returned to the mainland, ready for more. Our adventure continued with sea kayaking off the picturesque town of Twillingate, to Long Point Lighthouse and the North Atlantic. Then venturing off on an iceberg hunt to Pilley’s Island Tickle, where we reached a massive ‘berg, gleaming against a foggy background. A local jokingly called it “just an ice cube,” but to us, it was quite a spectacle!

Embracing the theme of variety we alternated between wilderness tent camping, a charming Airbnb above a winery, and a cozy inn on the coast in Triton, each offering its unique flavour of Newfoundland hospitality.

Our grand finale was a night in Gros Morne National Park. We camped among the park's mountains, preparing for an epic 12km hike up 2000ft to the summit of the Tablelands. The surreal landscape, with its Mars-like rocks and cliffs, starkly contrasted our ocean iceberg encounters from the day before. Later that afternoon, we set off for Port Aux Basques to catch the night ferry to Nova Scotia, stopping to sample some fresh cod and halibut.

No great expedition is complete without delicious food, and our trip was no exception. We dined like royalty, savouring meals such as tofu and veggie stir-fry, maple salmon with garlic butter rice and asparagus, vegan hot Italian sausage pasta, and chickpea and sweet potato massaman curry with garlic rice. Breakfasts were a treat with limitless Shipyard Cafe coffee and fresh oatmeal topped with maple syrup and blueberries. Cooking together made for a great opportunity to reflect on the day's adventures and plan for the next.

This was an adventure we had dreamt of for years, and it exceeded all our expectations. We're already looking forward to our next expedition to Newfoundland, perhaps with some Bay of Fundy Adventures guests in tow!
