Let’s make our way “Up” the shore, driving along the Irish Loop to the historic town of Ferryland. We’ll make plenty of stops for photographs, conversations, and mythical stories as we discover the tremendous wealth generated here in the 17th century. This area represents one of the world’s most unique migrations when a single mass of 18th century Irish / English citizens laid the foundation upon which Newfoundland’s culture was derived. Enjoy a traditional Newfoundland lunch and the kind of hospitality for which the Newfoundland people have become so famous.
Overnight St. John's. Breakfast & Lunch.
-DAY 4
This is a day of discovery, mixed with some exciting local food. Let’s head ‘Around the Bay’ to explore the shores of Conception Bay. Walk pebble beaches, see shipwrecks, visit pirate havens and explore colorful villages. We’ll have a chance to chat with the locals, enjoy homemade food, and hear the sounds and music that make Newfoundland such a special place to live and visit. A traditional midday meal is included.

All good things must come to an end and so we bid a fond farewell to our newest yet oldest Province. As you fly homeward it will be with many delightful memories of an authentic Newfoundland experience you will treasure for years.
