Itinerary

1 - St John Welcome to St John's! Meet your leader at the hotel for a group welcome meeting at 10am before heading off on a leader-led tour of the city. Take a drive up Signal Hill to enjoy sweeping views of St. John's Harbour and brighten your day with a stop at St John's famous colourful houses on 'Jellybean Row' and the charming harbourfront neighborhood of Quidi Vidi. This afternoon, you'll have free time to explore St John's before joining your group for a welcome dinner at Celtic Hearth. Sample Jigg's dinner pie, a classic Newfoundland dish, then head to a local pub for a traditional "screech-in" ceremony that involves a shot of screech (rum) and kissing a cod. It's more fun than you might think!

2 - Trinity After breakfast, drive to the start of the Skerwink Trail for a delicious picnic lunch and a hike along the coast. Named as one of the top trails in North America and Europe by Travel and Leisure Magazine, this moderate hike offers superb photography and wildlife spotting opportunities. After the hike, head to Trinity and check into your accommodation then explore this charming historical town at your leisure or perhaps join your group for an informal dinner at a local restaurant.

3 - Trinity Today it's time to spot puffins at Elliston's renowned viewing site which offers one of the closest land views of puffins in North America. See if you can also spot the Puffin King, a rock formation which looks like a puffin sitting on a throne. After you've seen the puffins, drive 20 minutes north to visit the historic Cape Bonavista Lighthouse which is one of the most photographed places in Newfoundland. Climb the stairs to the top of the tower and see the seal oil-fuelled light that was used in the 1800s.
