Total Cost is $5795CAD (+tax) per person. Due to permit limitations, we allow a maximum of 8 Guests with 2 photography guides.

A non-refundable deposit of $2500CAD (+tax) is due upon booking.

The remaining balance ($3,295 CAD + tax) is due 90 days before your departure date.

Given the nature of our seasonal business and the relatively small window of operation, cancellations within 90 days of departure are non refundable unless the dates in question are able to be filled. We will make every attempt to try and fill your spot in order  to issue a full refund (minus a 10% transaction fee), but if unable we reserve the right to keep payment. Travel insurance is required.

Our first two nights will be spent at a hotel in downtown St. John’s. Guests travelling together as a couple will share a room, while solo travellers will have their own private room.

During our time on the Avalon Peninsula, we will stay in a private shared accommodation home. Later in the trip, while exploring the Bonavista Peninsula, we will move to a second private shared accommodation home. Each home will include shared bathrooms and access to a full kitchen for preparing meals. Couples travelling together will share a room, while solo travellers will have their own private room.

Depending on group size and availability, the group may be split between multiple homes at either peninsula location. We make every effort to secure properties of similar comfort and quality; however, accommodation options in these regions can be limited, and guests should be comfortable with some variation between properties.

Newfoundland cuisine is rooted in fresh seafood, hearty traditional dishes, and simple, satisfying meals shaped by coastal living. However, in smaller communities, restaurant hours can be limited and many close early, so we prefer not to structure our days around reservations when a well-packed sandwich or quick meal is often the best fuel for a productive day outdoors. This flexible approach allows us to stay focused on weather, wildlife activity, and changing light rather than fixed dining schedules.

To better accommodate individual dietary preferences, routines, and budgets, guests will have the option to choose and purchase many of their own meals and snacks (outside of what is outlined in the “What’s Included” section). This style has been very well received on past trips, as it gives everyone the freedom to eat what works best for them.

We’ll make convenient stops at local cafés, bakeries, and markets for grab-and-go options. Our private residence (during days three to eight) are fully equipped with kitchens, giving you the option to prepare your own meals if you prefer. We’ll include grocery stops along the way for anyone who would like to stock up on food and snacks for their stay.

To arrive in St. John’s, you will fly into St. John’s International Airport, with regular connections via Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax. The airport is approximately a 10-minute drive from downtown, and taxis and rideshare options are readily available.

Prior to departure, passengers must have in place, comprehensive insurance coverage including medical and emergency evacuation, trip cancellation and interruption, and baggage insurance - this is at your expense; we will require proof of insurance. Any losses experienced because of incorrect travel planning or not securing adequate insurance will also be the full responsibility of the passenger.

This is a soft-adventure photography expedition designed to be accessible and unhurried, with some hiking but significant time in the field.

Travel days can include longer driving distances, sometimes over three hours between regions as we move along Newfoundland’s coastlines. Once on location, we often spend extended periods outdoors (typically 3–5 hours at a time) working with changing light, tides, and wildlife activity.

Participants should be comfortable with a flexible, patient approach to photography, including packing and preparing simple field meals and spending time outdoors in variable conditions.

Weather in Newfoundland is an active part of the experience. Rain, fog, wind, and rapidly changing light are all common, and often create the most compelling photographic conditions. Adaptability is essential, and part of the experience is working with, not against, the elements.

To make the most of optimal light and wildlife behaviour, some outings will take place early in the morning and later in the evening when conditions are best for photography.
