Itinerary
Experience the natural beauty of Bay Bulls, Newfoundland, a picturesque fishing village known for its scenic harbor, captivating boat tours, and proximity to the breathtaking Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, home to puffins and other seabirds- we will be able to take in the history and scenery of the same place that we explored from the sea the day before.
Escape to the tranquil charm of Bauline East, Newfoundland, a picturesque village offering stunning coastal views, scenic hiking trails, and a perfect blend of natural beauty and local heritage.
Discover the rich history of the Colony of Avalon, a 17th-century English settlement on Newfoundland’s southern tip, where you can explore well-preserved archaeological sites, learn about early colonial life, and experience the stunning beauty of this unique coastal destination.
After a delicious lunch in Ferryland we will continue "Up" the southern shore to Renews, where a local storyteller will welcome us to his hometown and regale us with tales from his time there. He will also invite us in for a proper "Mug Up."

About St John's
St John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, a steep harbour city of painted row houses, lively pubs, sea cliffs and Atlantic icebergs.
St John's clings to the hills around a deep harbour on the Avalon Peninsula, entered through a narrow gap in the cliffs known as The Narrows. Fishing fleets from Europe used the harbour from the 1500s. Rows of brightly painted wooden houses climb the slopes, and Signal Hill above the entrance carries Cabot Tower, close to where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.
