Stephen has become our resident jellyfish whisperer! Making friends for us one tour at a time!
As a marine biologist Brookly has been a wealth of knowledge and fantastic teacher during adventures!
We couldn't be more thankful that she found her way to the rock and has become a trusted leader on our team. She's an honorary Newfoundlander through and through🤍
Our Zodiac & Kayak Adventure managed to take in all the sights and sounds of the Cape Spear hiking trail from the comfort of the open water. What is usually a 6hr hike turned into a 2hr paddle!
Our resident quadruple threat, Jason! Our crew is still trying to find something he can't do, unsuccessfully so far 😄
With a passion for marine life, plants, and the incredible ecosystems that surround us, Jason brings curiosity and enthusiasm to every adventure. His keen eye helps our guests spot the little details that might otherwise go unnoticed, turning every trip on the water into an opportunity to discover something new.
Mom and daughter making memories on a recent Zodiac & Kayaking Adventure! One of the best parts about our jobs is getting to watch families make memories together in real time.
