Canadian Mussel Boil at the Ecological Reserve

About this activity

Just 45 minutes from St. John's, gather by the sea at Cliff's Edge Retreat for a one-of-a-kind, immersive Newfoundland experience overlooking the breathtaking Witless Bay Ecological Reserve—home to North America's largest Atlantic puffin colony.

This unforgettable coastal gathering brings local traditions to life around an open fire, where local guides share captivating stories of Newfoundland's foraging culture and coastal way of life alongside live traditional music.

Guests will savor the true flavors of the island with freshly prepared, locally harvested mussels and a changing series of handcrafted seasonal tastings, all made from locally foraged and regionally inspired ingredients.

It is the ultimate blend of spectacular scenery, authentic culture, and rich local flavors that travelers won't find anywhere else.
