The Experience

Our trip is designed with the perfect balance for both first-timers and experienced rafters alike.

You will have the opportunity to swim throughout the day as well as at the Badger Chute where a huge re-circulating current carries you back to where you jumped from the rocks. Amazed at the power and pristine waters of the Exploits, swimmers let the currents play with them in the “boiling” but friendly rapids, only to be carried back to where they jumped in to start all over again. This swim at the Chute is just one of the reasons why 3 out of 4 river rafters are either return visitors or have sought us out on the recommendations of friends.

Half way through the trip we stop on a rock island where we enjoy a hearty nutritious picnic lunch, kick back and relax. Here, children and adults alike can explore, swim, and surf in the rafts.

We have river rafters who travel worldwide seeking rafting adventures and they tell us “we just love it, you offer a unique experience with a warm friendly family atmosphere with a world class river right in your own backyard!”

Make this the highlight of your Newfoundland vacation and perhaps the beginning of a lifetime of outdoor adventure and fun!

Our Equipment

For your safety and comfort, Rafting Newfoundland uses equipment second to none in quality. Our rafts are state of the art gravity based self bailing rafts so they are very stable and do not require any bailing at all.

Our personal floatation devices are NRS commercial rafting PFD's which are very high quality and comfortable. If you are into boating, you will want one of these for yourself.

We also supply waterproof breathable paddling jackets for those not so cooperative weather days. You will also be fitted with Protec Ace helmets. Only the best for your head!

After traveling and paddling all over North America, we have never found a rafting company who can compete with Rafting Newfoundland’s equipment. Here, you are well taken care of.

Here, you come as customers and leave as friends.

We also rent canoes and recreational kayaks if you would like to plan your own trip.
