Highlights
Gros Morne: Step into Newfoundland’s rich food culture with hosts Becky and Alex at Fish Sheds, where fresh, local ingredients meet breathtaking views of Bonne Bay. After a tour of the grounds, sit down to a three-course meal, as your hosts share personal stories of family, tradition and why Newfoundland’s food scene is truly one of a kind.
St. John's: Newfoundland brings new sights, languages, foods and traditions with every city. In St. John’s, join a one-of-a-kind experience, the Screech-in Ceremony. This Newfoundland tradition gives CFAs (Come from Away’s) like you the opportunity to be an honorary Newfoundlander. Tradition goes that you recite a local saying, kiss a cod fish (a once-primary export), take a shot of Newfoundland Screech rum and be declared an honorary Newfoundlander. To commemorate the fun ritual, you’ll get a certificate confirming your title.
St. John's: Visit Cupids, the second oldest English Settlement in North America. The small town is celebrated for its architecture and archaeological sites. Then visit the picturesque village of Brigus, well well-kept with old-style architecture, rustic stone walls, lush green gardens, and winding narrow lanes are reflective of its English, Irish, and Welsh heritage.
L'Anse-au-Clair: Learn how to shuck a scallop like a local at a farm in Blanc Sablon.
Cape Bonavista: Visit the Lighthouse on Cape Bonavista and see if you can spot whales, icebergs and puffins (in season).

Customer Reviews
This itinerary covered the northern peninsula of Nfld from St. John's to Corner Brook. I enjoyed the mix of land and water adventures; especially visiting the lighthouses and usually enough time to explore the lighthouse climbing, viewing the land and seascape, and artifacts of lighthouse existence throughout initial construction to present day. The industries of the explorers, first nations and numerous cultures influences were highlighted numerous times with names, languages, growth and trading partners. I especially enjoyed Gander, which could have been 2 days as was the case with Corner Brook too with the history and the olympic venues needed more time to explore. The telecommunications with highlighted too from Signal Hill and Heart's Content. The Viking Settlement and Red Bay Whaling Station were excellent too and all accessible to my walking ability. Nice length, but I would have enjoyed the additional 3 - 4 days. I was travelling alone and was welcomed and enjoyed meeting others with the ZEST to discover about travelling through the province. We enjoyed numerous sightings of whales, puffins, but we're to late for the icebergs.
Enjoyed visiting such a pristine area. Nice not having to fight large crowds like more popular tours. In spite of US/CN tensions people and tour staff very nice.
THE TOUR WAS EXCELLENT THE TOUR GUIDE WAS THE BEST WELL INFORMED GAVE LOTS OF INTERESTING FACTS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND VERY UPBEAT THE COACH DRIVER WAS GREAT PLEASANT SAW LOTS OF HISTORY
NEWFOUNDLAND is an enormous and beautiful place and this trip takes you to the most impressive parts. Many nights were two night stays which i like and I spent a day myself in St. John at the beginning of the trip which i highly recommend≥
Newfoundland is beautiful. Our guide was excellent. We visited so many places. Unfortunately,, we rarely spent enough time to enjoy the places we visited. The one place I was really looking forward to visiting, L’Anse aux meadows, there was so little time to actually see the site or even buy souvenirs. I really felt cheated. Since the province is vast we spent many hours travelling on the bus. A bus that was particularly comfortable.
