Cod Fishing Adventure

Here's your chance to partake in this true Newfoundland tradition. 

As we leave the wharf to make our way to the fishing grounds, you have the opportunity to take in the beauty of Sunnyside. Rich with red rock hills and beaches, peppered with wharves and stages. 

Have the opportunity to see different marine life such as whales and jumpers. Don't forget your camera!

Your guide will help set up your lines and provide instructions and tips on how to catch your fish. 

At returning to the wharf, your guide will clean, fillet and bag your catch; all the hard work is done. Watch and learn how to fillet Codfish. 

Tours are subject to Provincial Regulations and are weather permitting. 

There's no better way to view picturesque Sunnyside than on the water. Take in the sites as we boat around the bay. There are many wharves and colorful stages to see. As well as the teepee erected on Frenchmans Island. As we head out further you'll see where the oil rigs were built at the Bull Arm Fabrication Site. 

There are usually many species of birds in the area including Bald Eagles. You'll see Center Hill, red sandy beaches and cliffs.

Opportunities to view aquatic life such as whales, seals, jellyfish and sun fish.

These are just a few of the fantastic sites that you will find on your excursion. 

Tours can be morning, afternoon or evening 7 days a week. Weather conditions may cancel or delay a tour. Tours run from May 24th weekend until Thanksgiving weekend. 

Hiking has become very popular in the province with a vast number of trails to choose from. 

Sunnyside is no exception. We have 3 trails in town, with varying difficulties. 

Center Hill Trail - 10k in and out. Approximately 4hrs. Ranging from easy to difficult. The last 800 meters are a more difficult climb.

One of our most popular attractions. It boasts the highest point in Eastern Newfoundland. At 457 meters high (1500ft) it holds views to astound. 

You don't want to forget your camera! 

From the top you can see Trinity Bay, Placentia Bay and Conception Bay. As well there are many opportunities for that perfect photo along the way. With ponds, streams and a hidden swimming hole with a beautiful waterfall. 

Truce Sound Trail - 3kms in and out. Approximately 2hrs. Ranging from easy to moderate. There are a couple hills and stairs to climb.

A short hike through the forest following the coastline, (1.5-km each way) takes you to Frenchmen's Island. Where an historic meeting between English and Beothuk took place in 1612. The Peace Garden was built to commemorate this occasion in 2012, and a teepee was erected. The island was also used by French troops to hold English prisoners during the Winter War of 1696 - 1697.

Harbour View Trail - 3.5kms one way. Parking available at either end. Ranging from easy to moderate. There are a couple of hills to climb. 

This is the newest trail in Sunnyside. Construction was done in 2021 with a few improvements done in 2022. 

This trail can be completed either by hiking or ATV. There are a couple scenic rest areas along the way, with stunning views of the harbor (sunsets are a must see from here).

Own an ATV? Unsure of the area and want to check out a few new trails? 

Let our guide lead you on a few trails in or near beautiful Sunnyside! 

Get out and explore back country trails or take a tour of the T'Railway (the old Newfoundland Railway). See sights that are only found by ATV.  Scenic rivers, valleys,hills and various ponds await!

Peace and serenity await .Let the worries of the day fade away as you cast your line for a Trout! One of the true Newfoundland traditions. 

Catch away at these tasty fish. Maybe add a "woods boilup" to your adventure or take your cleaned and bagged Trout home for a meal or two.

 Food always tastes best surrounded by nature, don't you think? Either as an add-on to another adventure or experienced by itself, a "boilup" for lunch or dinner is a must do.

Meals can be discussed upon booking. 

What better way to experience what Newfoundland has to offer than getting Screeched In. A true fun and memorable event you'll remember for years to come!
