As you arrive by motor boat (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat), you look around in awe - is this another planet? The coast is rocky and robust in color, with the rocks looking like displaced puzzle pieces which had been placed haphazardly around, dotting the landscape. When you drift to a stop, the skipper invites you to go explore! Paddling along the coast, a bald eagle drifts lazily overhead searching out the fish beneath you.
Sometimes referred to as the "Jurassic Park" of Newfoundland, our sea caves offer you the chance to get up close and personal with these geological wonders. With an opportunity to kayak, everyone will have taken a trip back in time to explore these auditorium-like caves any way you want to!

1 - What should I bring? At Ocean Quest we like to make it as easy for you as possible so we have most everything you need for adventure success. The only thing you will want to make sure you have is clothing appropriate for the day; please bring additional layers and rain gear as well as a warm hat and gloves, Sunglasses and Sunscreen. If you are kayaking, please bring along an extra change of clothes and a towel for afterwards. We request that all other items be left in your vehicle or locked in our office. One steadfast rule on our RHIB's is that you must assume anything you bring along will get wet!
2 - Should I bring my camera? Should I bring my camera? Cameras are encouraged! However, please make sure it is waterproof or you have some kind of Dry-bag or water proofing case. Also please make sure you have a way to secure it to your person. Last year alone, we watched at least 3 GoPro Cameras gently sink their way to the ocean floor with no way of recovering them.
3 - Is tipping the skipper/guides appropriate? Although it is not necessary to tip the crew, we are confident that you will be so thrilled with their efforts that you will want too! The crew works hard to ensure your adventure is safe, ecologically responsible, and fun. They really appreciate any show of gratitude.
4 - I get sea/motion sickness, is this trip for me? Last year we only had a few people who got "sick" out of hundreds of adventurers. We do recommend that if you do plan to take any type of anti-sickness medication, please read the directions carefully. Many of these remedies need to be taken long in advance of your departure. It is a good rule of thumb in any case to avoid large meals before taking this adventure.

What happens when you cancel?
- If you cancel your booking within 14 days of the trip departure the booking is non-refundable.
