We’ve teamed up with Captain Hickey of Bonavista Puffin & Whale Tours to bring you the ultimate adventure! Enjoy a scenic boat tour along the wild coastline and experience a traditional Newfoundland beach boil-up.

A Newfoundland boil-up is also often referred to as a “Mug-up”. It is one of Newfoundland’s favourite traditions where a group of friends or family gather on a beach to enjoy tea and a snack over an open fire.

Foraging for wild berries, in the summer and fall is great for kids, foodies and hikers. Everything you need to know to safely gather, prepare and cook the unique flavours found only in nature.
