Rob Thomas, lifelong Corner Brooker and owner of The Saltbox Restaurant and Everoutdoor Adventures, invites you to spend a week exploring the Humber Bay of Islands in true west coast style. This 7-day journey blends adrenaline-filled adventures with cultural encounters — from snowmobiling the backcountry and snowshoeing to hidden coves, to Zodiac rides along the fjords and evenings spent in cozy pubs. Add in traditional Newfoundland meals, stories of the land, and a kitchen-party welcome, and you’ve got a trip that’s as lively as the people who call this region home.
