At 08:00 in the morning, the guests will gather at the hotel and proceed to Cape Spear for a 1.5-hour tour.

Embark on a scenic hike along the hiking trail at the easternmost point of North America. Feel the refreshing morning breeze from the Atlantic Ocean and let your feet connect with the warmth of the land. Capture memorable photos facing the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Spear. This location is often visited by seabirds such as Dovekies, Great Cormorants, and Thick-billed Murres. Explore the oldest lighthouse, historic gun batteries, and the ruins of Fort Cape Spear. Take this opportunity to meditate, reflect, seek tranquility, and find inspiration while standing at the easternmost point of North America, facing the sea.

Then proceed to The Basilica, also known as the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, for a 20-minute visit.
The Basilica is an ancient architectural gem, dating back to 1855, and its design represents a revival of classical architecture in North America. Inside the church, 65 unique stained glass windows illuminate the exquisite Italianate multicolored ceiling and gilded areas. On its anniversary celebration, Pope Pius VII bestowed the name "The Basilica" upon it, recognizing its grandeur and significance.

Afterwards, head to Water Street for self-guided exploration and lunch at your own expense. I can recommend some lunch spots. You'll have 2 hours of free time for this activity.
You can enjoy a leisurely stroll along Water Street while indulging in a variety of local traditional cuisine and international dishes. Water Street, with its vibrant colors, is one of the oldest streets in North America and one of the main commercial streets in St. John's. This famous street showcases the trading patterns and architectural styles of European powers such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands during the 19th century.

After lunch, proceed to Signal Hill for a 2-hour tour.
Signal Hill is the historic site where the world's first transatlantic wireless signal was received. It is also an excellent vantage point to admire the city of St. John's from above. From Signal Hill, you can capture panoramic views of St. John's, with its wide vistas, harbor sails, and winding coastline. The colorful houses near the harbor create a picturesque scene that is truly captivating.

Next, proceed to Quidi Vidi Brewery for a 20-minute tour.
Visit the renowned local brewery, Quidi Vidi Brewery, known for its unique beers. One of their most famous brews is the "Iceberg" beer, made with pure water sourced from 20,000-year-old icebergs. This beer is exclusively sold in St. John's, Newfoundland, making it truly one-of-a-kind. Here, you can learn about and savor authentic local beers with their rich and lingering flavors. Let the taste of these beers bloom like vibrant flowers on your palate, leaving you with delightful memories of Canada's intoxicating charm.

You also have the option to visit the Johnson GEO CENTRE for an additional cost of CAD $12. Here, you can delve into the fascinating history of the Titanic shipwreck.

The Johnson GEO CENTRE, which cost $12 million to build, is located just 350 miles away from the area where the Titanic collided with an iceberg. During your visit, you will uncover lesser-known secrets of the Titanic and unravel the mysterious veil surrounding its cabins. The centre brings to life the stories and mechanical details that have been preserved in the depths of the ocean, presenting them before your eyes in a captivating manner.
