Approx. 1 hr drive… Rafting NL Rafting Newfoundland is many things. One of those things is that we are a group of avid paddlers that want to share our love for paddling and the Exploits River with anyone and everyone we can. For us Rafting Newfoundland is a dream come true, we actually get to work doing what we like to do. With any work there are highs and lows but all of us here fell in love with Newfoundland and the Exploits for one reason or another and are excited to share that love with you.
