July 25 our family went cod jigging with Paul Langdon in the Bay of Exploits. We had the most wonderful day Paul knew all the great spots to catch cod and we caught our quota for the boat- Paul did a wonderful job filleting out catch as well ,everyone had a lovely time we saw a minke whale and an osprey nest with her chick.
Paul also rents out the light out keepers house with 6 bedrooms that he rents out meals included We are definitely doing that as well next summer-I would highly recommend Adventures NL

One thrill after another courtesy of Paul, Joanne and Mother Nature. Bald eagles soaring overhead, osprey watching us from the nest, Fox Sparrows chirping their loud songs. The humpbacks were plentiful and did not seem to mind us following their languid feeding pace. Did you like some fresh cod? We reeled in our limit on two glorious mornings on calm waters as Paul maneuvered to find the school. The kayaks are top quality and comfortable for a two hour paddle around the neighborhood. Joanne kept our appetites satisfied with an assortment of tasty homemade creations. We felt like part of the family shortly after we arrived.

Our group of 3 families hired Adventures Newfoundland to provide equipment and guiding support for a sea kayak trip on the Bay of Exploits. Paul Langdon the owner did an amazing job setting our group up with sea kayak gear and leading us on day tours of local destinations. He lives in the Bay of Exploits and has an in depth knowledge on all aspects of the history, culture, destinations and safety of travelling in the area. Our group loved the trip which included a hike to a light house owned by the company, a kayak tour of the community of Exploits, cod fishing and mussel picking (and eating), whale sightings and beautiful paddling around the Bay of Exploits many beautiful islands. I highly recommend a sea kayak trip with Adventures Newfoundland. Thank you Paul for setting up such an amazing adventure!

We were lucky to spend three days with Adventures Newfoundland. From my first email exchange with Paul, I knew we'd be in the right hands. Things were super organized and thought-out... yet also flexible and not over-programmed. It was an ideal customized experience, tailored to our abilities, curiosities, preferences... and of course, the weather! We kayaked, hiked, fished, relaxed, enjoyed delicious meals, and soaked up fascinating Newfoundland information and tales, all while surrounded by the incomparable peace and beauty of Exploits Island.
I can't recommend Adventures Newfoundland enough, especially for people looking for travel that isn't touristy and for fun challenges followed by cozy comfort.

Just returned from another fantastic day on the water with Paul. We had such a fantastic time last week that went again this week. This time instead of a shark swimming by it was a Minke whale. Paul was the perfect host always quick to grin and laugh. Patience galore at untangling fishing lines, doubling back to retrieve lost hats or teaching us how to reel in the codfish. Once our quota was caught we finished up the day by eating supper and relaxing on beautiful Exploits Island while Paul cleaned filleted the fish. Recommend this excursion to anyone. Great host and beautiful scenery

Paul and Joanne were amazing hosts! Paul picked us up at Lawrence Harbour and took us out to the Exploits Islands on his boat. The ride out was very beautiful through the Bay of Exploits. Paul took us kayaking around the Exploits Is where we were delighted to find so many restored homes. It was special to see a former isolated outport being revived as a summer destination. After a couple of hours kayaking we stopped and picked mussels. We enjoyed them as an appetizer before a delicious locally sourced home-cooked meal. Both Joanne and Paul were keen to ensure that we were able to see and do all that we wanted to while on the islands. We got up early and enjoyed a hike out to see the restored lighthouse before we left. There’s lots to see and do and we wish we had planned to stay longer.

Well it's Christmas Eve and I'm a bit late in writing my responses , but better late than never. We are so happy that you enjoyed your trip to Exploits Island with us and that we were able to share a piece of our history with you . Exploits Island is truly a remarkable place.

This 7 day kayak trip in July was remarkable in every way. Paul and Joanne's hospitality, the outstanding guides, the great food and the marvellous adventures. It was so much fun!!! The kayaking, the camping, the hiking and the night in a lighthouse - all of it special. This is my second trip with Adventures Newfoundland - and I look forward to a third.

You would absolutely love this guide . Paul Langdon and his wife tailored our kayaking trip to our own needs and allowed us to take a few detours we wanted to go to based on such a wonderful weather day and water conditions. The picnic lunch was delicious as well as a handmade dessert that was mouth watering. The local stories and folklore as well as historical facts made this trip educational as well. Thank you for the highlight of our Newfoundland visit:)

Spending a day on the boat with family catching cod, watching a whale and a Osprey with her chicks is a phenomenal way to spend time. We caught our quota, relaxed on Exploits Island and had great fun at an affordable price. Beautiful day, great memories I would recommend this trip to anyone.

It took me almost 3 years to write this review(despite saying May 2021)... the reason being, I've finally come to terms that our magical trip to Newfoundland, kayaking around Exploits with Paul and Jason, supported by momma Jo, has come to an end.
We did a 3 night tour with Adventures Newfoundland and it was incredible, we're still blown away. Paul, or as someone else has stated, the Daniel Craig of Botwood, is amazing!!! His experience, passion and kindness is what we cherished the most during our trip. Don't get me wrong, the scenery, icebergs and food are spectacular, but Paul and momma Jo are what calls us to return.
Looking down the road, we hope to return for a longer stay where we'll be able to enjoy more adventures in Newfoundland with Adventures Newfoundland.

I am exploring the idea of a multiday (five to seven days) kayak adventure. I am on my own and would be happy to join an organized group. Is this something that could be arranged? Thanks, Catherine
Written November 10, 2019
I know that Paul , who owns the company is very easy going and accommodating. We had a group arranged but when a couple of the people dropped out we still went along with our plans. A single person had asked to join and she was able to have a great time and meet a bunch of like minded bodies.
It was special and although it is not for certain, I would not hesitate asking Paul if you are interested in the kayak trip. It was an amazing experience on all fronts. Good luck
