Happy Adventure Tours is an Eastport, Newfoundland and Labrador-based outfitter offering boat trips, guided and self-guided kayak experiences, glamping rentals, and camping equipment packages.
The company operates offshore boat tours aboard a Rigid-Hull Inflatable Boat to view puffin colonies, the resettled Community of Smokey Hole, and scenic passages where whales, eagles, and occasionally icebergs are visible. Guided kayak tours and private tandem options depart from Terra Nova National Park and include certified guides who share local marine knowledge and point out wildlife such as whales and bald eagles. Kayak rentals are available as single or double kayaks for two or three hour sessions and are aimed at experienced ocean paddlers who wish to explore independently.
Happy Adventure Tours also provides Terra Nova Park Tours with sheltered boat rides to Minchins Cove followed by family-friendly hikes and historical interpretation. A boat transfer service shuttles visitors to and from the outport of Minchins Cove for convenient access. For overnight stays, the Outport Yome rental in Minchens Bay offers a coastal glamping experience with ocean views and nearby trails. Camping equipment package rentals supply sleeping bags, pillows, cooking gear, and a lantern for campers seeking a simple, all-inclusive option.
All offerings are delivered from a base in Eastport and focus on small-group, nature-driven experiences along the Newfoundland coastline. Bookings are organized by trip type and duration to match visitor needs. Safety briefings, local route planning, and equipment checks are included where applicable to ensure a well-prepared outdoor excursion for year-round visitors and bookings.
