Medicine Bag and Trickster Workshop

The Medicine Bag and Trickster Workshop is a warm, creative way to connect with Indigenous culture in Gros Morne, giving you the chance to slow down, listen, make something meaningful, and leave with a personal keepsake. Guided by storytelling and symbolism, you’ll craft your own moose hide medicine bag while learning about its traditional purpose and the idea of setting intention through what you create. There’s time to add simple beadwork and details that reflect your own personality and spirit, so no two bags ever feel the same. Along the way, the Trickster makes an appearance, bringing humour and playful stories that encourage reflection and conversation in a relaxed, welcoming setting. It’s less about ticking off a “must do” and more about spending an hour doing something thoughtful and hands-on, with a genuine sense of community. The session finishes with a shared moment to unwind, rounding things off in a calm, memorable way. This experience runs year-round and is best suited to adults and older children (it isn’t suitable for under 10s).

Gatherall's Puffin and Whale Watch

Gatherall’s Puffin & Whale Watch is a brilliant way to experience Newfoundland’s wild coastline from the water. Setting out from Bay Bulls, you’ll cruise into the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, one of the province’s standout marine wildlife hotspots, where the ocean can feel busy with life in the summer months. This is prime feeding territory for whales, with humpbacks the headline act and minke and fin whales also regularly seen. Add in the spectacle of Atlantic puffins by the thousand, and you’ve got non-stop opportunities for photos, watching behaviour at the surface, and simply taking in the scale of it all with the salty air and rugged shoreline as your backdrop. The catamaran itself is modern and spacious, with both indoor and outdoor viewing areas, so you can stay comfortable while still being right in the action. On board, local guides bring the experience to life with commentary, folklore and a bit of Newfoundland character, helping you spot what you might otherwise miss and adding plenty of context to what you’re seeing. Puffins are typically around from mid-May to mid-September, while whale sightings peak from mid-June to mid-August (though they’re possible either side of that too). In early season, there’s even the chance of icebergs drifting past, depending on the year. As with any wildlife experience, sightings can’t be guaranteed, but this is one of the best areas in Newfoundland to give yourself a very strong chance.

Discover Mekapisk: Indigenous Zodiac and Beach Campfire Tour

Discover Mekapisk is a brilliant way to experience Bonne Bay from a completely different perspective, combining a punchy Zodiac ride with a genuinely meaningful cultural experience on a secluded stretch of coastline. It’s part adventure, part storytelling, and part hands-on exploration, designed to deepen your understanding of how Indigenous peoples lived in harmony with Newfoundland’s land and sea. Travelling with a local guide, you’ll journey to an isolated cove and begin to see the landscape through the needs and choices of the First Peoples who were drawn to this area over generations. You’ll explore the natural features that made this shoreline such a rich place to live, and you’ll get a tactile sense of the past by handling the raw materials used in traditional tools, bringing the history into the present in a simple, powerful way. At the heart of the experience is time spent on the beach around a campfire, where traditional foods such as bannock and smoked capelin are shared while an Indigenous guide brings the setting to life with cultural stories and local knowledge. With no facilities on the beach, it feels wonderfully remote and immersive, the kind of experience that stays with you long after you’ve left the shore. As with any coastal outing, conditions can shape the day, and in the event of strong wind or heavy rain the experience can be adapted to a more sheltered setting. It’s best suited to adults and older children, and it’s a standout option if you’re looking for something that feels both authentic and memorable, rather than just another boat trip.

St John's Harbour Cruise

Join the MV Iceberg Quest and see St John’s and the beautiful Newfoundland coastline from the water. You cruise through the Narrows at the entrance to the harbour and meander along the coast looking for local wildlife such as puffins, seals and seabirds; on occasion humpback whales are also seen. Informative commentary along the way will give you an insight in to the unique way of life of the Newfoundlanders, and you can enjoy scenic views of the city as you return to shore.
