This day’s adventure is dedicated to Gros Morne National Park & UNESCO World Heritage Site; starting with an interpretive boat tour across the gentle waters of beautiful Bonne Bay. In Woody Point we’ll visit the park’s new Discovery Centre and view the famous Tableland Mountains. It is this area that earned the park its nickname as the 'Galapagos of Plate Tectonics'.
Overnight Rocky Harbour/Cow Head. Breakfast, Midday Meal, and Dinner.
Day 3 Tuesday July 15
Bid farewell to the west coast as we take an easterly tack, to a new geological frontier. A perfect harbor provides a beautiful backdrop for an eventful morning of whale interpretation and brilliant art exhibits. This afternoon commemorates the survivors of the 9/11 Tragedy and the many acts of kindness extended when we welcomed the 'Come From Away' guests into the homes and communities surrounding Gander; the epicenter of the hit Broadway musical.

The "Road to the Isles" will take us across causeways spanning the many "Tickles and Runs" leading to Twillingate Island.

Here we will experience first-hand the variety of marine life found in the sounds and learn about this ecologically diverse area.
Overnight Port Blandford/Clarenville Breakfast and Midday Meal
Day 6 Friday July 18
A true day of discovery starts in the historic village of Trinity, one of the oldest, perfectly restored towns in North America. Later we’ll celebrate the beginning of European history, walking the same cliffs as John Cabot when he claimed “Buenavista” for King Henry in 1497. Spend a relaxing afternoon walking the seashore, engaging the locals, or touring the many historic premises for an opportunity to truly understand the inshore fishing techniques that have allowed Newfoundlanders to thrive for hundreds of years.
Overnight St. John's. Breakfast & Midday Meal.
Day 7 Saturday July 19
Natural wonders abound on this morning’s boat trip to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve to views Atlantic Puffins, Murres and the millions of seabirds that nest on these coastal islands.

Visit Cape Spear National Historic Park, the most easterly point of land in North America, before heading into St. John's, the provincial capital and cultural showcase.
Overnight St. John's. Breakfast & Midday Meal.
Day 8 July 20
An historic tour of St. John’s will provide a brilliant interpretation of North America’s oldest city, and a proper orientation for your free time this afternoon.
